Breaking Down Utilities (XLU)July 29, 2014 8:25 AM
After yesterday's 1.4% advance, the utilities sector once again took the lead as the best performing major sector in the U.S. market in 2014. I discussed the technical situation in last month's MorningWord, when the Dow Jones Utility Index broke out to a new all-time high:
As part of the back and forth action in the utilities sector in the past few months, both implied and realized volatility have gradually inched higher as options traders re-priced the market after the breakout:
While most assets have implied volatility near multiyear lows, the utility sector is an outlier in that options prices are near the middle of the 2 year range.
Given the outperformance in the sector and the technical situation, I wanted to take a brief look at the largest stocks in the sector. The 5 largest components are DUK, NEE, D, SO, and EXC.
Those 5 components should be considered in two separate groups. NEE, D, and SO are the three growth stocks, where EPS is 40-100% higher over the past 10 years, and the stocks' valuation on a Price/Book basis is between 1.75 and 3.50. On the other end are DUK and EXC, which are the cigar butts of the group. EXC annual EPS has actually contracted over the past 10 years (and has been very volatile in the process), while DUK EPS is up about 20% in the past decade. EXC and DUK both have a P/B ratio in the 1.2 to 1.3 range.
Some of the relative strength or weakness among the utilities can be attributed to geographic disparity. NEE is based in Florida, a major growth market, and has benefitted from a higher growth in demand than utilities in other areas. SO is headquartered in Georgia, and Dominion is in Virginia and North Carolina. All 4 of those states have had above average population growth over the past 5 years (see the list of population growth by state). Meanwhile, Excelon operates primarily in Illinois and Pennsylvania, where the population has hardly grown. Duke is based in North Carolina as well, though its operations are more diversified.
In terms of management prowess, NEE looks like the standout of the group, as EPS has grown in each year since 2005. Moreover, the company is making a strong push in wind and solar power plants in the U.S. Though the renewables segments are still a small part of the overall business, the long-term prospects look encouraging.
However, valuation for the growth stocks, NEE, D, and SO, is significantly higher than EXC and DUK, and also quite a bit higher than the historical valuation of NEE, D, and SO. That is of course an indication of the conducive market backdrop over the past few years, and the search for yield that has led so many investors to the utilities sector.
At this juncture, I'd still rather buy the consistent performers, like NEE and SO, and possibly hedge some of the risk of a breakdown in the utilities sector as a whole with farther dated XLU puts.

Alberta man charged after 3 elderly women attacked
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Saturday, December 8, 2012 6:04PM EST
Last Updated Saturday, December 8, 2012 10:34PM EST
Two women are clinging to life in hospital and an Alberta man is facing attempted murder charges following a string of random attacks in Vancouver.
Police say a third woman was also injured in the attacks, which took place Friday morning.
"It was very disturbing for the staff to see this," Maj. Richard Gilbert of the Salvation Army told CTV British Columbia.
Gilbert said his staff would often see one of the victims walking in the area.
Police say the victims are 63, 79 and 87 years old.
Investigators said no weapons were used during the attacks, just physical force.
Vancouver police announced Saturday that a 35-year-old Alberta man was charged in the attacks.
The suspect was spotted wearing only his underwear shortly after the assaults took place.
According to police, the suspect approached uniformed police officers on Wednesday and said that he was struggling with mental health issues and he was concerned about his medication.
He reportedly told police he wanted to see a doctor, and voluntarily went to hospital.
Police say Nicholas Osuteye has been charged with three counts of attempted murder and one count each of assault and mischief.

When Republican Scott Brown won a January special election to fill the seat held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy for 47 years, Democrats lost their filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate. That shift—which means the Republican minority can now block most Democrat-sponsored legislation if they choose—has cast doubt on organized labor's top legislative priority—the so-called Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA).
With Brown's stunning victory, the still heavily Democratic Senate majority no longer has the 60 votes needed to automatically bring bills to the Senate floor for a final vote. Is this the end of EFCA?
Probably yes—at least as EFCA is currently written. As of now, EFCA proposes mandatory card checks in lieu of union-representation elections decided by secret ballot. It would also impose compulsory "interest" arbitration if 120 days of collective bargaining doesn't result in a firs...(register to read more)

To protect children, FTC tightens privacy law
Last week, the Federal Trade Commission announced enhancements to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act that are intended to shield kids' personal information from software companies that design apps or programs directed specifically at children.
"The Obama administration on (Dec. 19) imposed sweeping changes in regulations designed to protect a young generation with easy access to the Internet," Richard Lardner reported for the Associated Press. "Two years in the making, the amended rules to the decade-old Children's Online Privacy Protection Act go into effect in July. Siphoning details of children's personal lives — their physical location, contact information, names of friends and more — from their Internet activities can be highly valuable to advertisers, marketers and data brokers."
The Wall Street Journal's Anton Troianovski and Danny Yadron wrote, "U.S. regulators broadened decade-old rules governing children's privacy online to cover new areas like smartphones, but amid pressure from the technology industry backed away from proposals that could have made companies like Facebook Inc. and Apple Inc. more responsible for violations .
"In a departure from rule changes the government proposed in August, the FTC explicitly exempted app stores like those run by Apple and Google Inc. from responsibility for privacy violations by the games and other software that are sold there. The updated rules (go) into effect July 1."
Reporting for Reuters, Diane Barton detailed, "Under the updated rule, IP addresses, which are unique to each computer, will be added to the list of personal information that cannot be collected from children without parental consent if the data will be used for behavioral advertising or tracking. Location, photos, videos and audio files were also added to the definition.
However, as Rob Lever noted for the American Free Press, the new regulations elicited negative reactions from organizations with competing positions regarding online privacy: "The Center for Digital Democracy, which lobbies for greater privacy protections, called the FTC move 'a major step forward' but warned that it may not be effective. Meanwhile, the Center for Democracy & Technology said it was concerned the rules could be harmful to an open Internet."

Doctors 'no longer need a stethoscope': Device being phased out thanks to modern handheld technology
- Stethoscopes may be phased out after 200 years as a medical mainstay
- Portable ultrasound machines are an increasingly popular alternative
- New technology is considered more accurate than outdated stethoscope
Doctors will soon be hanging up their stethoscopes for good after almost 200 years, according to a new report.
A medical mainstay since 1816, they are being elbowed out of the way by new technologies such as ultrasound which has only been about since the 1950s.
Mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular, accurate, smaller to the point of being handheld and cheaper to make.
On their way out: Stethoscopes may be phased out after 200 years as a medical mainstay as portable ultrasound machines become an increasingly popular alternative
The stethoscope allows doctors to listen in to sounds from within the body, amplifying the heart and lungs to pick up murmurs and other potential problems.
However, Professor Jagat Narula, editor of the journal Global Heart, and Professor Bret Nelson, who both work at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, believe we are living in its final days.
Professor Narula said: 'At the time of this writing several manufacturers offer handheld ultrasound machines slightly larger than a deck of cards, with technology and screens modelled after modern smartphones.'
And fears about small portable machines having inferior image quality have been outweighed by evidence rapid diagnostic decisions could be made.
More than 20 medical specialties now include point of care ultrasound as a core skill with research suggesting compared with the stethoscope it can reduce complications, assist in emergency procedures and improve diagnostic accuracy.
The professors said: 'Thus, many experts have argued ultrasound has become the stethoscope of the 21st century. Why then, do we not see ultrasound machines in the coat pocket of every clinician? Several factors play a role.'
'The ultrasound machines are expensive, and even clinicians enamoured with the promise of point of care ultrasound must make a financial decision weighing the increased diagnostic accuracy against increased cost.
New era: Modern technology, such as this ultrasound machine, is considered far more accurate than a stethoscope when diagnosing heart or lung problems
'In addition, point of care ultrasound is still a new field relative to traditional imaging. Many older clinicians completed training long before ultrasound use was part of standard practice for their specialty.'
Additionally, while the cheapest available stethoscopes are literally disposable even though many can cost hundreds of pounds, ultrasound devices costing in the region of £1,000 or more making roll out, especially in developing nations, much more difficult.
Yet the authors believe all the evidence shows ultrasound can diagnose heart, lung and other problems with much more accuracy than the 200 year old stethoscope.
They added: 'Certainly the stage is set for disruption; as LPs were replaced by cassettes, then CDs and .mp3s, so too might the stethoscope yield to ultrasound. Medical students will train with portable devices during their preclinical years, and witness living anatomy and physiology previously only available through simulation.'
'Their mentors will increasingly use point of care ultrasound in clinical environments to diagnose illness and guide procedures.
'They will see more efficient use of comprehensive, consultative ultrasound as well guided by focused sonography and not limited by physical examination alone. And as they take on leadership roles themselves they may realise an even broader potential of a technology we are only beginning to fully utilize.
'At that point will the 'modern' stethoscope earn a careful cleaning, tagging, and white glove placement in the vault next to the artifacts of Laennec, Golding Bird, George Cammann, and David Littmann?
'Or, as some audiophiles still maintain the phonograph provides the truest sound, will some clinicians yet cling to the analogue acoustics of the stethoscope?'
The stethoscope, derived from the two Greek words 'stethos' for chest and 'scopos' for examination, was invented by French doctor Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec at the Necker Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris and has regularly been GPs' first port of call when looking after patients ever since.

- Marcha da Maconha reúne 500 manifestantes em Florianópolis.
- Google translation:
Hundreds of people attended the Marijuana March this Saturday afternoon in Florianópolis (SC). According to the calculations of the Municipal Guard, about 500 protesters participated in the act promoted in the busiest street of the capital of Santa Catarina, the Beira Mar Norte.
The group met during the afternoon in a warehouse and soon after went on walking for about 4 km. The representatives of the Office of Cannabis, the organization formed by students of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, advocated the decriminalization of drugs and cited the use of marijuana for the production of goods such as clothing and medicines.
During the march, protesters carried banners and placards with slogans like "Legalize Peace" and "Who does not buy the plant." Across the way, they sang and asked that the President Rousseff (PT) legalize marijuana. Unlike São Paulo, where there was military confrontation with police last week, the demonstration was peaceful in Florianopolis and received support from many motorists who passed through the city center.
Among the participants of the Marijuana March, was the chief of the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro, Orlando Zaccone. He, which integrates an international movement of "lawmen" who support the decriminalization of the herb, said the prosecution would not be enough to stop drug trafficking.
"Despite the repression, more and more drugs are offered to society. This policy has not solved the problem," he said. "Violence is not produced by the drug but by the ban. Legalization is the real control, the ban is total disarray."
The Marijuana March in Florianopolis was the subject of much controversy and was only made after a court authorization of Santa Catarina. State Representative Ismael Santos (DEM), tried to prevent the realization of the act and asked for an injunction. Judge Maria Paula Kern rejected the request of the parliament last Thursday.

Students Raise Money To Teach Kids In China
Submitted: 05/20/2013
Story By Shardaa Gray
Photos By Shardaa Gray
- Most kids like to spend summer break fishing, camping or just hanging out.
But two Northwoods teenagers want to get right back into school in another country.
But they need help.
Two students at Lakeland Union High School only have 24 days left to meet their $6,000 goal.
Nathan Grebe and Steven Zhang are trying to raise money to join a three week summer camp in Beijing, China.
Their goal is to teach young children to read and speak English.
Just last week they started a project on online where you can see their plans.
Grebe hopes they will meet their goal.
"I've always been interested in China and the home life there. It would be really cool to go there." said Grebe.
"It's so big and I've never really been out of Minocqua other than a couple trips around the� Arizona and Washington D.C."
Zhang participated in the same Chinese summer camp last year.
But he wants Grebe to come along so they can share the culture of China with everyone else by filming it.
"Most people don't know a lot about it. It's just like China just seems like a faraway exotic, kind of alien idea to most people." Zhang said.
"Since Nate has never been outside the united states, it's his first time in a new country, hopefully documenting his experiences will give the average American a window to the world of Chinese culture."
They've raised just $520 so far.
Their deadline is June 14th.
You can help them achieve this goal by donating on their kickstarter page.

Northland Pines fishing headed to nationals in first year of program
Submitted: 06/24/2016
- The Northland Pines fishing team is about as basic as it gets.
Just two kids, bait, and their gear.
"I didn't expect to go anywhere," said Northland Pines Junior Mike John.
But in their first year the team is headed to nationals after getting second BASS Wisconsin High School Fishing Tournament. It was the first tournament they've competed in together.
Mike John is going to be a junior. Harmon Marien became a freshman right before the state tournament started.

Portage County man's once hidden talents on display in Stevens Point nursing home
Submitted: 06/24/2016
- David Appel doesn't say too much these days. Instead, he lets his artwork speak for himself.
"Oh yeah, he likes to show them off," David's son Dan said.
The recently turned 82-year-old spends his days in the Portage County Skilled Nursing Facility during his weekly visit from family often admiring the oil paintings he once crafted.
"I wouldn't call it a shock, but I didn't know he had that artistic skill," Dan Appel said.
Appel's son and daughter-in-law, Dan and Julie, first found out about David's talents as the father's 47-and-a-half year career with Copps Foods started to come to an end in the late 1990s.

Volunteers Document Wildlife
Submitted: 06/24/2016
- You don't expect to see crowds in secluded parts of Iron County, but loons tend to be a big draw.
"There's a lot of people who have had interest in loon research," said DNR wildlife biologist John Olson.
"Monitor change overtime in the wildlife population here in the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. Are loons increasing or staying stable or decreasing the numbers of breeding pair?" said retired wildlife biologist, Bruce Bacon.
The community has shown interest in the animal and with the research collected, the volunteers can maintain a steady population of loons in the water.
"Over the years, there have been a number of people who have done real exciting loon work up here," said Olson.
Over the last few surveys, the DNR have decided to expand its research to all wildlife in water and on land, not just the loons.
"The survey has developed into being more all-inclusive of any wildlife we see out here. Especially breeding birds," said Olson.
Some animals seen on Friday include a deer and her fawn, ducks, geese, eagles, ospreys, and of course multiple loons.
The Turtle Flambeau Flowage is a total of 14,000 acres. Individual volunteers maintain the area year round. If they notice a home or shelter destroyed, they will help start a new one for the animals.
"It's rewarding to see a place like the Turtle Flambeau Flowage in Wisconsin and this monitoring gives us a sense of how to monitor and protect it," said Bacon.
Overall, the goal for the group is to collect data on the animals and maintain that number to keep the Northwoods booming with wildlife.
The power of volunteerism was in full effect on Friday. Six boats covered all 14,000 acres of the Turtle Flambeau Flowage.

Civil service changes will soon take effect in Wisconsin
Submitted: 06/24/2016
- Wisconsin state employees will face a new world when they show up for work July 1.
An overhaul of the state's 111-year-old civil service system takes effect take that day. It will leave 30,000 state workers and an untold number of job applicants to face new hiring and firing protocols.
Mandatory pre-hiring examinations will be a thing of the past. So will bumping rights, which protect senior employees from layoffs.
Probation periods will be longer, just cause for disciplinary actions will be clearly defined and layoff decisions will be based on performance rather than seniority.
Supporters insist the changes enable state agencies to fill retirees' positions quickly and impose proper discipline.
Democrats and other critics say Republicans are trading a clean, fair employment system for political patronage and cronyism.

Neck Pain: You Just Have to Move Like Jagger
By Sheri Wells
Have you ever seen an old video of Mick Jagger performing on stage? One of his vintage moves was to strut across the stage with one hand on his hip while moving his head forward and backward like a chicken.An article appearing in the Wall Street Journal titled: "Neck Pain? Skip the Pills, Just Stretch Like a Chicken" is about the first large federally funded study on neck pain. This published study found that simple home exercises, increasing cervical range of motion, are more effective at relieving acute and sub acute neck pain than medication. Dr. Bronfort, the lead author, said that a neck retraction exercise, or chicken-like maneuver of the head, in which people pull their heads back and then tilt their chins slightly downward "seemed to be especially useful." Maybe Mick Jagger was practicing preventative neck pain exercises?
Neck pain affects around 70 percent of people sometime during their lives. This is a common condition that you most likely see in your clients every day. Neck pain can be caused by many factors including:
Along with the above factors, as we age we begin to lose the fight with gravity and the head starts to slowly, progressively move forward on the neck and shoulders. Part of the problem is that the cervical muscles are simply not strong enough to resist the force of gravity. According to Erik Dalton's article, "Forward Head Posture: The 42 Pound Head," for every inch of forward head posture, the weight of the head on the spine is increased by an additional ten pounds. Through basic anatomy and physics, he explains that a normal head centered on the spine weighs about twelve pounds, but once it starts to move forward on the neck by just an inch, it weighs approximately 22 pounds. In comparison, a gallon of milk weighs about eight pounds. What would happen if you carried a gallon of milk in your hands out in front of you all day long? Wouldn't the muscles of the arms be extremely tired and possibly sore or painful by the end of the day? So, why wouldn't we expect the neck to start to complain with an additional ten pound load on it? Plus, realize that if the head is tilted or shifted to one side that this also increases the weight of the head on the spine and creates compensation patterns traveling down the body as the brain tries to keep the eyes level with the horizon.
As manual therapists, what can we do about this condition? First, educate your clients with the pain problems caused by forward head posture. You will see them immediately try to pull their head backward, but they may not be able to sustain this posture for very long. There are three main problems that need to be solved. The short term "fix," is for you to manually release the tight muscles creating forward head posture and to rebalance the head on the neck. Then, you need to gently stretch the tight muscles to restore normal cervical range of motion (ROM). Finally, the long term solution is to have the clients strengthen their weak anterior deep flexor muscles that are allowing the forward head posture to occur. Basically, to achieve and then maintain normal neck/head alignment, your ultimate goal, you must:
The above mentioned neck pain study involved teaching clients gentle, controlled movements including neck flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation and neck retraction. But, do not teach stretches or strengthening exercises if you feel that is outside your scope of practice or if your state does not allow it. As a manual therapist, however, you are allowed to assess and to restore normal cervical range of motion. And, if you are going to correct a neck problem this means you can gently mobilize/stretch your clients during a session to achieve normal ROM.
So, what is normal range of motion of the cervical spine and how do you assess it? Different publications vary with the ideal amount and a great reference is James Waslaski's book "Clinical Massage Therapy." He lists the normal ranges of motion, naming the muscles involved, along with a detailed twelve-step program of soft tissue work that can eliminate or prevent painful neck conditions.
Normal ranges of motion involving single plane movements for the cervical spine are: (Figures 1-4)
It is best to assess active range of motion before you begin your session with the client standing or seated. First, show the client the movement you would like them to perform; flexion, extension, lateral flexion or rotation. Ask them to only move their head as far as they can go without any discomfort. Note the amount of ROM and if it was normal or limited. Use a goniometer or simple plastic school protractor to determine the degree of ROM. If any of the motions had less than normal ROM, then have them gently repeat that same movement again several times and see if their ROM improves. Usually, it will improve 5-10 degrees just through this self mobilization. Make note of any limited ROM you find and your strategy will be to release the tight muscles/fascia that are restricting normal ROM.
Please note that as you restore normal cervical range of motion, you may also need to address forward shoulder posture and any other problems that may have contributed to forward head posture. You must treat the body as an entire structure to achieve better, long lasting results.
Once you have performed soft tissue work and created normal range of motion of the cervical spine, the next steps are to teach your client two simple exercises to stretch their tight cervical muscles: sternocleidomastoid, scalenes and suboccipitals and to strengthen their weak anterior neck flexors longus capitis, longus colli, platysma, sternohyoid and sternothyroid. This "homework" is what I have found is the most important part of correcting and maintaining normal head posture and what I teach every one of my clients (of all ages). If you teach your clients these corrective exercises, it empowers them to take charge of their own healing/wellness. You only see your client for an hour or so at a time and this gives them additional tools to use every day to maintain the normal ROM and structural alignment you achieved during your session.
First, teach them a corrective neck retraction stretch. Have them sit or stand upright and relax their shoulders moving them down and slightly backward (neutral posture). Then, have them place one finger on their chin. Ask them to slightly tuck their chin, and then move their head backward like a "chicken" or like Mick Jagger; whichever cue you prefer, while gently pressing on their chin. Have them hold this position for about two seconds and then release. They can repeat this stretch several times. Advise them to perform this gently and that mild discomfort is not ok. (Figures 5, 6)
The best times to perform this stretch is after daily activities that involve forward head posture: working on the computer, eating, watching TV, etc. Precaution note: this is rare, but if the client indicates pain or neurological symptoms (tingling, numbness in their neck, shoulders or arms), during this stretch, immediately have them return their head to neutral and refer them out.
Once the client has mastered the corrective stretch, teach them a corrective strengthening exercise they can perform every day in their car; "neck press backs." Advise them they can only perform this exercise if there is no discomfort or they are not allowed to do it. Before they start their car, tell them to sit upright and relax their shoulders down and backward (neutral posture). Then, have them slightly tuck their chin and move their head backward like a "chicken" or like Mick Jagger, while pressing back into their headrest (neck retraction). Have them hold this isometric contraction for 5 to 10 seconds, repeating this 2 to 3 times. They could also practice this when they are waiting at a stop light. I don't advise performing it while the car is moving. This is an easy exercise and something that they can and must do every day to help prevent or reverse forward head posture and the resultant pain that accompanies it. (Figures 7, 8)
According to the neck pain study, Dr. Bronfort says that for relief from neck pain "it's good news for patients that there's something they can do themselves." So, if you teach your clients to move like Mick Jagger; retracting their head, it may be one of the most important things you can do to help them relieve and prevent occasional and chronic neck pain.
