CALGARY, Dec. 10, 2012 /CNW/ - Enerplus Corporation ("Enerplus") (TSX: ERF) (NYSE: ERF) announces guidance for 2013 and the acquisition of additional low decline, light oil interests in Montana.
Acquisition of Bakken Interests in Montana
Consistent with our strategy of consolidating core positions within our portfolio, Enerplus has agreed to enter into an agreement to acquire an additional 20% working interest in our operated leases in the Sleeping Giant area in the Elm Coulee field in Richland County, Montana for approximately US$131 million (approximately US$121 million after estimated closing adjustments of US$10 million). By investing approximately half of the proceeds from the sale of our Manitoba assets, we expect to replace the sold production, improve the concentration of our asset base and improve our operating metrics.
The acquisition is complementary to our existing operations in Sleeping Giant where we currently own an operated 70% working interest. This is a mature light oil property with an average decline rate of 14%. Our internal reserves assessment has identified a total of 6.2 million BOE of proved plus probable reserves associated with the acquisition and daily production of approximately 1,550 BOE/day (both of which are weighted 80% to light crude oil). The transaction has attractive acquisition metrics of 4.2 times annual funds flow after estimated closing adjustments, $23.00/BOE of proved plus probable reserves including future development capital and is expected to be 4% accretive to funds flow in 2013 (2% on a debt-adjusted basis). This light oil property has current netbacks of approximately $50/BOE with low operating costs averaging $5.50/BOE in 2012. We do not expect any increases in general and administrative costs as a result of the acquisition.
We believe there is additional upside potential in this field through production optimization, refracs and limited infill drilling. With approximately 400 million barrels of original oil in place on our operated leases, we are also evaluating the potential for enhanced oil recovery schemes as the current reserve bookings results in a 14% recovery factor. The total crude oil recovered to date is approximately 8%. We anticipate closing the acquisition mid-December, after which Enerplus will own a 90% working interest in the operated leases with production of approximately 7,300 BOE/day. We expect a modest level of capital spending at Sleeping Giant in 2013.
Guidance for 2013
In addition, the Board of Directors of Enerplus has approved a capital spending program for 2013. Highlights of the program are as follows:
- We expect to deliver funds flow growth of over 11% in 2013. On a debt-adjusted basis, funds flow is expected to grow by 6% per share. This growth, along with a current yield of approximately 8%, aligns with our long-term business strategy of providing an attractive total return to investors comprised of both growth and income.
- We are targeting a capital program of $685 million, 20% lower than our estimated spending in 2012, which more closely balances our capital spending and dividends with funds flow.
- We expect production to average between 82,000 BOE/day and 85,000 BOE/day, which at the mid-point of the range, would represent a 2% increase over our estimated 2012 average daily production after adjusting for our recent acquisition and divestment activities. Based upon current cost structures and the commodity price outlook for both crude oil and natural gas in 2013, we believe this is an appropriate level of production growth. We plan to continue to pursue acquisition opportunities in core areas and rationalize non-core assets to enhance our portfolio and profitability.
- With an expected increase in funds flow, combined with a reduced capital spending program and maintenance of our dividend, we expect our adjusted pay-out ratio to improve to approximately 130% net of our Stock Dividend Program ("SDP"). We intend to continue to focus our portfolio and improve our cost structure to enhance the sustainability of our business.
- We have successfully managed our balance sheet throughout 2012. We continue to pursue joint venture opportunities and non-core asset sales in an effort to allow us to enhance shareholder value. Our debt to funds flow ratio is expected to be 1.9 times at the end of 2013 based upon current forward market commodity prices, our estimate of production and costs and before any additional acquisition or divestment activities
- We remain committed to providing a meaningful dividend to investors. Given the steps we have proactively taken to improve the sustainability of our business including the sale of non-core assets and reducing our capital spending plans, we currently have no plans to adjust our monthly dividend. We will continue to review dividend levels in the context of commodity prices, capital spending, cost structures and debt levels.

Based upon forward commodity prices and forecast costs as of November 26, 2012 including the impact of hedging and does not include any acquisition or divestment activities not previously announced. Based upon our current capital spending plans for Q42012, forecast YE2012 debt is approximately $1.1 billion
** Adjusted payout ratio is calculated as the sum of dividends paid to shareholders, net of participation in the Stock Dividend Plan, plus capital expenditures divided by funds flow. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below.
Capital Spending
We are targeting a capital spending program of $685 million in 2013. Through this spending, we expect to offset our corporate production decline rate of approximately 24% and grow production modestly by 2%. Approximately 85% of our program is currently planned to be directed to oil and liquids rich natural gas projects, with over 75% directed specifically to crude oil projects. Our capital program is based upon delivering a minimum internal rate of return of 25%.
The Fort Berthold region of North Dakota has delivered significant light oil production growth for Enerplus over the past two years. Through our 2012 drilling program, we have effectively managed our lease expirations in the region and grown production to approximately 14,000 BOE/day during the month of November. We expect to reduce capital spending by 25% to approximately $340 million next year as we focus on improving our costs and efficiencies while still delivering production growth. We're forecasting average daily production growth of 30% next year over expected 2012 average volumes. We plan to run a two-rig program targeting both the Bakken and Three Forks formations and expect to drill, complete and bring on-stream between 20 to 25 net wells at Fort Berthold next year. The majority of these wells will be long horizontal wells. We expect non-operating spending will represent approximately 15% of our total spending in this area in 2013.
We expect to continue to invest in our oil waterflood properties in Canada next year targeting a capital spending program of approximately $160 million similar to 2012 levels. Under our planned spending, we will continue to invest in drilling projects at Freda Lake in Saskatchewan and Medicine Hat, Giltedge and Pembina in Alberta. Waterflood optimization will remain a focus area as we continue to balance drilling activity with our pressure maintenance programs to effectively manage performance from these fields. Our volumes are expected to be modestly impacted next year as we plan to curtail approximately 400 BOE/day and 2 MMcf/day of natural gas at Pembina early in the first quarter as part of this on-going program. We anticipate that these volumes will be recovered over the course of the next 6 to18 months and believe this will result in better long-term recoveries. Finally, we plan to continue to advance on our existing polymer projects at Medicine Hat and Giltedge. Overall we have been encouraged by the performance of these projects. We plan to evaluate performance over the course of next year and if performance continues as we expect, would be in a position to consider expansion of the program.
We plan to reduce capital spending in the Marcellus region by over 50% to $80 million in 2013 directed to non-operated drilling projects in the northeast region of Pennsylvania. Through this drilling program, we expect to have retained the majority of what we believe to be core non-operated acreage by the end of 2013. We expect continued production growth from 55 MMcf/day currently to roughly 75 MMcf/day as we exit 2013. Given the lower operating costs associated with this production ($0.75/Mcf) and NYMEX based pricing, operating netbacks are currently averaging approximately $2.00/Mcf. As a result, our Marcellus production is expected to contribute to the increase in funds flow in 2013. We anticipate that 25% of our corporate natural gas production volumes will be attributable to the Marcellus in 2013. We continue to see positive results from our drilling program despite the delays associated with infrastructure in the region.
We expect to continue investing in the Deep Basin region in 2013 on both our operated and non-operated leases. Approximately $75 million will be allocated to develop natural gas projects with associated liquids. Based upon our success in the Wilrich play in Alberta in 2012, we are planning an additional 3 to 5 wells next year.
Approximately 75% of our capital spending is expected to be directed to drilling projects with around 90 net wells planned in 2013 with 80 net wells brought on-stream throughout the year. The program is weighted to the first half of the year with about one third of the capital planned for investment in the first quarter. We expect that approximately 75% of our capital spending will be directed to properties where we control the pace and level of spending. We expect to allocate less than $30 million to delineate our undeveloped acreage in 2013.

($ millions)
|Development Drilling & Completions
|Exploration & Seismic
We expect to review our capital spending program on a regular basis throughout the year in the context of prevailing commodity prices, economic conditions and cost structures and may modify our spending plans as required.
Production Growth
We are forecasting average daily production of 82,000 to 85,000 BOE/day in 2013, a 2% increase over our estimated 2012 average daily production after adjusting for our recent acquisition and divestment activities. Crude oil production is expected to increase in 2013, averaging 38,000 bbls/day, up 2.5% from 2012. Oil production in the Fort Berthold region of North Dakota is expected to grow again in 2013 but at a slower pace than in 2012 given the reduced capital spending plans. Natural gas and natural gas liquids volumes are expected to remain flat year-over-year. The additional natural gas volumes associated with our 2012 Marcellus drilling program are anticipated to come on-stream during the first half of 2013 and are expected to offset the decline in our Canadian conventional natural gas properties. Total natural gas production is expected to average approximately 250 MMcf/day. Approximately 75% of our total production will be operated by Enerplus.
As we plan to spend a greater proportion of our capital spending in the first half of 2013, and given the variability and timing of our non-operated spending, we expect exit production in 2013 to range between 84,000 and 88,000 BOE/day.
Current Daily Production
Daily production during the month of November 2012 is estimated to be 86,000 BOE/day. Given the slow-down in drilling activity, we expect December production will be similar.
Operating costs are expected to average $10.70/BOE, unchanged from 2012 and general and administrative expenses are expected to average $3.40/BOE, up marginally from 2012. We expect our average royalty rate will increase slightly in 2013 due to an improvement in the natural gas price outlook and the increase in production associated with our U.S. operations which have higher royalty rates than our Canadian operations. Royalties are expected to average 21% of revenues. We have sufficient tax pools to shelter our funds flow in Canada in 2013 and beyond, and we expect U.S. cash taxes to be approximately 3% of our U.S. cash flow.
|2013 Forecast Expenses
|Operating Costs ($/BOE)
|Cash General & Administrative Expenses ($/BOE)
|Non-cash General & Administrative Expenses ($/BOE)
|Cash Taxes ($MM)
|Interest Expense ($MM)
Funds Flow Growth
Based upon current forward commodity prices, we expect funds flow to grow in 2013 by 6% per debt-adjusted share. Improvements in natural gas prices as well as the growing NYMEX based natural gas production in the Marcellus are key factors contributing to this expected growth. Our hedging program is expected to provide support to this increase as we have 57% of our anticipated net oil production volumes hedged at a price of US$100.84 per barrel and 12% of our projected net natural gas volumes swapped at a fixed price of $3.63/Mcf and a further 11% of our projected net natural gas production hedged with put protection at $3.17/Mcf. We estimate that approximately 75% of the net operating income will be generated from our oil plays.

Financial Flexibility
We have preserved our financial flexibility throughout 2012 through the sale of non-core assets, issuance of long-term debt and a reduction in our dividend. We expect to exit 2012 with a debt-to-funds flow ratio of 1.8 times which we anticipate is at the low end of our peer group. Our adjusted pay-out ratio is expected to drop significantly in 2013 to approximately 130% net of the participation in the SDP. In the context of current commodity prices, we expect a debt-funded shortfall of $200 million (funds flow including participation in the SDP less capital spending and dividends). We expect to continue to divest of non-core assets to offset our funding shortfall and to improve the concentration and focus within our portfolio. Our debt to funds flow ratio is expected to be 1.9 times at the end of 2013 before consideration of any joint venture, asset sale or acquisition activities.

Currency, BOE and Operational Information
All dollar amounts or references to "$" in this news release are in Canadian dollars unless specified otherwise. Enerplus has adopted the standard of 6 Mcf:1 BOE when converting natural gas to BOEs. BOEs may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 BOE is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. Unless otherwise stated, all oil and gas production information and estimates are presented on a gross basis, before deducting royalty interests.

McCain and Koa Misi were both placed on IR after the game Sunday. McCain's 2015 campaign ends with two whole tackles and a sack. Safe to say he won't be missed.(Updated 12/23/2015)

|Fantasy News
|Darren McFadden
|McFadden (elbow) could miss three months, ESPN.com reports.
The Cowboys haven't provided any hints about McFadden's timeline since June 14, when head coach Jason Garrett said the veteran running back will miss "a couple months" after having surgery on his fractured elbow, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. Early reports suggested that McFadden is expected to return at some point during training camp, which would likely give him a shot to be ready for Week 1. Subsequent reports have been a bit more pessimistic, suggesting McFadden will miss 2-3 months, with his rehab process potentially stretching closer to the regular season. Alfred Morris figures to take most of the second-team reps when training camp begins, but sixth-round rookie Darius Jackson could push for a role.(Updated 06/23/2016)
|Lance Dunbar
|Although he wasn't a participant during Tuesday's minincamp, Dunbar (knee) was able to run routes on the side, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports.
That's encouraging news for the scatback, but the Cowboys likely won't know until training camp begins whether Dunbar has a shot at being ready for Week 1. Even if he is far enough along in his recovery from a torn ACL to avoid the PUP list, his role could be a lot smaller this season with fourth overall pick Ezekiel Elliott expected to become the team's new three-down back, lessening the need for a passing-down specialist like Dunbar in the offense.(Updated 06/15/2016)
|Tony Romo
|Romo (collarbone) is expected to be a full participant when the Cowboys start OTAs in late May, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Romo has reportedly recovered from his March 8 surgery a bit faster than expected, allowing him to take part in offseason workouts the past couple weeks. Meanwhile, Dez Bryant (foot) may not be ready for OTAs or June minicamp, but there's been no indication that he's behind schedule. Assuming Bryant avoids any major setbacks, Romo will have an excellent supporting cast in what figures to be a balanced Dallas offense.(Updated 05/10/2016)
|Sean Lee
|Lee (knee) expects to be ready for training camp, Rob Phillips of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Lee underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee at the start of May. His initial recovery timeline was only two weeks, so it comes as no surprise he expects to be ready for training camp. Lee was quoted saying he's "right on track" in his recovery, so it appears everything is going as planned. With Lee expected to start on the weak side again during the upcoming season, his knee shouldn't force him to miss any valuable reps moving forward.(Updated 06/09/2016)
|Randy Gregory
|Gregory has been suspended for the first four games of next season due to a violation of the league's substance abuse policy, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports.
Gregory notoriously slipped to the second round in last year's draft, despite being considered one of the best pass rushers available, after he was caught with marijuana in his system at the combine, and it looks like he hasn't yet cleaned up his act. This could put more pressure on the Cowboys to either re-sign Greg Hardy, select another pass-rushing DE like Joey Bosa or Noah Spence in this year's draft, or both.(Updated 02/19/2016)
|Demarcus Lawrence
|Lawrence is appealing his four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Selected 34th overall in the 2014 draft, Lawrence had 55 tackles and eight sacks in 16 games last season, with seven of his sacks coming over the final eight weeks. Any reduction of his suspension would be fantastic news for a Dallas team that otherwise lacks talent at defensive end. 2015 second-rounder Randy Gregory is also suspended for the first four games of 2016 due to a substance abuse policy violation.(Updated 05/05/2016)
|Dez Bryant
|Bryant (foot) will be a full go July 28 when training camp begins, The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Though fully recovered from January surgery, Bryant has only been a partial participant at minicamp, with the Cowboys unsurprisingly opting for an abundance of caution. Bryant made an interesting admission Thursday, saying he doesn't think he worked hard enough last year, when he missed most of the team's offseason program due to a contract holdout. He now plans to significantly increase his activity level during the six weeks between minicamp and training camp, with his docket including some individual work with Tony Romo, who has already been cleared for all activities.(Updated 06/16/2016)
|Barry Church
|Church ended the season on IR due to a broken arm, but still recorded 117 tackles in 15 games.
It's the second time in his career that he's topped 100 tackles in a season, but Church failed to record an interception or even a pass defended in 2015, and the 27-year-old safety has increasingly been seen as a liability in pass coverage. First round pick Byron Jones seems like a lock to fill one of the safety spots for the Cowboys next season, but there's no guarantee that Church will be lined up next to him.(Updated 01/07/2016)
|Tyrone Crawford
|Crawford says his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery is going well, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports. "It's extremely helpful to just have the strength back that I didn't have last year," Crawford said Friday. "I'm back up to almost where I was before the injury. I'm feeling real good. I'm feeling confident about it as well."
He also said he's prepared to move to defensive end for the first month of the season to cover for suspensions to Randy Gregory and DeMarcus Lawrence, a position he has played in the past before moving to the three-technique DT spot in coordinator Rod Marinelli's defense. "I'm going to do what I have to do. It's definitely a possibility if needed," Crawford said. "We can't have guys taking on such a big role they haven't taken on before, so it's all of us working together helping each other out." If Crawford does see significant snaps at DE over the first four weeks, he could be sneaky source of sacks in deep IDP leagues.(Updated 05/10/2016)

The person in charge of the state university system says higher education in Florida is in trouble because of ego and envy. Chancellor Frank Brogan says that's because all the schools in the state seem to be aspiring to be something else. He says two year colleges are trying to become four year schools, big universities are fighting academic turf wars, and some satellite campuses want to become their own universities. Brogan says it's time for the governor boards of those institutions to say "stop", because taxpayers can't afford it.

The Bexley Mayor had a hoot of a time unveiling an owl centre in Hall Place and Gardens.
Councillor Sharon Massey visited the newly refurbished Jambs Owls and spent more than an hour getting acquainted with the animals.
She held the birds and explored the aviaries in Bourne Road, Welling, which are themed according to the owls' natural habitats.
Handler Alfred Smith, who helped organise the visit, said: "It went really well, the mayor enjoyed herself.
"We've had tourists visit from places like Australia, America and Germany.
"We also carry out educational visits to schools offering talks throughout the borough."
The centre aims to give people hands-on experience of the animals while explaining how they survive in the wild, their nutrition and nocturnal habits.

The police, an open door, and probable cause
Seven things Maggie Koerth-Baker and Her Husband Learned at 4 am on a Tuesday
1) After doing some home renovation work late into the evening, my husband had inadvertently left both our garage door and our back door open when he came to bed.
2) There have been a string of burglaries in our neighborhood, often involving somebody kicking in the back door of a house.
3) If the cops are patrolling your neighborhood alleys looking for burglars and they see your garage door and back door open, they might interpret that as a sign that there could be a robbery in progress at your residence. Legal precedent calls this "totality of circumstances". Just leaving your back door open might not be suspicious, especially if you lock the screen door and, thus, imply that you meant to do that. But combine an open back door with the open garage, an unlocked screen door, the time of night, and the string of burglaries, and cops start to decide that they can't just shrug their shoulders and walk away. This will end up being important.
4) Turns out, when there is a window unit and a fan on in our bedroom, we can't hear people yelling something like, for instance, "Police!", through our back screen door. Or, at any rate, I might hear it, but will not register properly what is being said.
4a) My neighbor and his roommate were not out yelling for their dog at 4:00 in the morning. Also, there are two Minneapolis police officers whose voices sound strikingly like those of my neighbor and his roommate. Small world.
5) If you don't answer the door at 4:00 in the morning and the cops have a totality of circumstances that lead them to believe a robbery may be in progress, they then have probable cause to enter your house.
6) Upon waking up to strangers and flashlights in the hallway six feet from our bed, my husband's response is to charge at said intruders while screaming. (It is also worth noting that he is not a pajama kind of guy.) He will later explain his train of thought as, "Strangers! Pregnant wife! Attack!"
7) Confirming our previous suspicions, my husband and I are now fairly confident that we benefit from the sort of class and race biases that prevent a man from being shot or tased when he runs screaming, naked, at a cop in the dark at 4:00 in the morning. It probably also doesn't hurt that there seems to be a correlation between the time it takes to trip and fall into the wall and the time it takes to register that the intruder in your hallway is dressed like a cop and you maybe shouldn't hit him. The officers who came into our house were nothing but polite and professional. But later that night, I will find myself lying awake for at least an hour, thinking about the context and the many, many ways this situation could have gone poorly. Instead, I think, thanks to a strange combination of privilege and circumstance, training and luck, this is something that I get to laugh about.
In conclusion: I think we are pretty good to go on the whole "remember to shut the door at night" thing.

Electron teams make bigger qubits
Researchers from the University of Basel in Switzerland and the University of Pittsburgh have come up with a candidate qubit made from groups of electrons rather than harder-to-control single electrons. The researchers have shown that as long as a spin cluster is made up of odd numbers of electrons it can behave like a single electron, according to the Florian Meier, a researcher at the University of Basel. The method can potentially produce qubits that are relatively easy to control.

What are sulfonylureas?
Anti-diabetic drugs that increase insulin release from beta cells in the pancreas.
These pills do two things:
- They help your pancreas make more insulin, which then lowers your blood glucose.
- They help your body use the insulin it makes to better lower your blood glucose.
For these pills to work, your pancreas has to make some insulin. Sulfonylureas can make your blood glucose too low, which is called hypoglycemia (HY-po-gly-SEE-mee-ah).
Who can take them? Who can't?
Sulfonylureas are for adults with type 2 diabetes. They are not meant to treat type 1 diabetes and are not for anyone who is pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
What dosage can I take and how should I take it?
The initial dosage is 250 mg, taken once a day, orally.
How often should I take sulfonylureas?
Some sulfonylureas work all day, so you take them only once a day. Others you take twice a day. Your doctor will tell you how many times a day you should take your diabetes pill(s). Ask if you are not sure.
When should I take sulfonylureas?
The time you take your pill depends on which pill you take and what your doctor tells you. If you take the pill once a day, you will likely take it just before the first meal of the day (breakfast). If you take the medicine twice a day, you will likely take the first pill just before your first meal, and the second pill just before the last meal of the day (supper). Take the medicine at the same times each day. Ask your doctor when you should take your pills.
What are possible side effects of sulfonylureas?
- hypoglycemia
- an upset stomach
- a skin rash or itching weight gain
Are other diabetes medications used with it?
Sulfonylureas can be taken in combination with other diabetes medications. You are encouraged to consult with your doctor to learn about the interactions between sulfonylureas and medications you are taking.
What should I tell my doctor before taking sulfonylureas?
Tell your doctor about any other medications you are on, as well as general allergies and allergies you have to the ingredients of sulfonylureas. Also, notify your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

June 5, 2016. Our Tour de Cure (New Jersey — Skylands) was nearly rained out. Rain, with periods of thunderstorms, was predicted all day. At the eleventh hour (almost literally! the email was timestamped 21:25 the evening before), the tour organizer notified us that the 100-mile route was being cancelled, but that riders could choose to ride the 66-mile course (or one of the shorter courses) instead.

Understanding frailty: a medical condition, not an inevitable part of ageing
We are all very familiar with the term 'frail' as a generalised description associated with age and poor health. Increasingly however, health professionals apply the term more precisely, to mean a specific condition which should be measured, diagnosed then carefully managed (just like a diagnosis of diabetes, arthritis or other condition). Frailty is characterised by […] Read more

Audio Stream: J. Cole and Chris Brown's New Song 'Undercover'
J. Cole and Chris Brown's hook-up song has been unleashed. Called "Undercover", the electro/hip-hop track is recorded for DJ Drama's new star-studded album "Third Power" which is slated to come out in the U.S. on October 11.
"I'm diggin you a lot, now you still catching feelings/ But I'm feeling on your spot, no kidding when I hit it," Breezy croons in the opening. "I be f**king with the lights on, thats the s**t that I'm on/ Give it all I got, Your body and my body/ We be feelin', scratchin', screamin'."
Once Breezy is done with the hook, Cole takes over the next verse. "One thing you should know about me is I never play to lose/ Always aim high and rarely obey the rules/ Never tell my business, if I did, it'd make the news," the Roc Nation MC spits his remarks.
Recalling how Breezy ended up in the song, Drama shared the behind-the-scene story to MTV, "We were searching for tracks for Chris. ... We got something, Chris went in. I thought about it for a minute: Who hasn't he worked with, who hasn't he been on a record with?"
Talking about Cole, the DJ gushed, "J. Cole has definitely been doing his thing." He added, "That's another guy that I have a lot of respect for and am excited for what he's been accomplishing, so we made that allegiance right there; plus, you got some bars from Breezy."

Offshore drilling rig rates will continue to fall in the coming period and the rate spread between old and new equipment will continue to widen, Rune Lundetrae, the chief financial officer of offshore driller Seadrill said on Tuesday.
"I think we will see day rates also for new equipment coming down in this market," Lundetrae said. "No one is immune. I'm feeling relatively good about this market. But there is headwind and we all have to take that in."

Police: Mass. home intruder turns out to be a duck
A North Reading woman called police Saturday from her upstairs bedroom to report that she heard loud banging noises downstairs
Associated Press
NORTH READING, Mass. — Police in Massachusetts responding to reports of an intruder in a woman's home quickly quacked the case.
A North Reading woman called police Saturday from her upstairs bedroom to report that she heard loud banging noises downstairs and feared someone had broken into her home.
Officers who responded found no sign of a break-in.
But during a quick search of the home, police found a soot-covered wood duck.
Police say it appears the duck got in through the chimney.
An officer caught the duck and released it into a nearby pond.

Information for Parents about Vancouver WA Child Care
Operational Guidelines for Preschools, Daycare and Child Care in Vancouver WA
Generally, before starting in a Vancouver child care program, parents must complete all paperwork and submit it prior or on the child's first day. Sometimes a Physicians Report may take longer to obtain, and a grace period (e.g. 30 days) may be provided if extra time is needed to arrange a doctor's appointment. The doctor's report will typically identify completed vaccinations, allergies and any conditions that will require special handling. For daycare and child care in Vancouver WA, if these forms are not completed it may result in your child's enrollment being suspended. It is important that parents keep their information up to date at the local Vancouver child care office. If you move, change jobs, or phone numbers, or if your emergency contacts should change phone numbers, please let the preschool office know. Parents should review their authorized pick up lists to ensure that it is current in the event that you send someone to pick up your child from preschools or child care in Vancouver WA. Even if you send someone to pick up your child, you will have to call the daycare center even if that person is on your child's emergency pick up list.To get your child off to a great start at a daycare in Vancouver WA, talk to your child about daycare and all the great things to look forward to. Tell him or her about the wonderful things they are going to explore. Children often enjoy being able to go to the store for a lunchbox and school bag before school begins. Many Vancouver daycare centers will offer opportunities for your child to visit before your child starts. Tell your child the teacher's name and remind her/him that you will be coming to pick them up at the end of the day. Separation is natural and affects different children in different ways. For providers of childcare in Vancouver WA, on your child's first two days of daycare, plan to have your child leave earlier than their normal schedule. Several hours can be a very long time to a child in a new situation. Most Vancouver child care centers will allow you to make arrangements so that you can spend time in the classroom with them. When it is time to leave, please give your child a clear goodbye. The teachers will take over and engage your child and start developing a relationship and comforting them. Also many daycares in Vancouver WA will encourage you to check on your child's progress, so feel free to do so!

How sniffing rosemary could boost your brain power
Sniffing rosemary could boost your brain power, scientists have suggested.
Tests show that cognitive performance improves when a compound in the herb's oil – 1, 8-cineole – is absorbed into blood.
Biochemists at the University of Northumbria now want to see how the ingredient might affect our brains.
Pick-me-up: Tests showed those who smelled rosemary performed better in cognitive examinations
Rosemary has a long history as a traditional remedy with such widespread uses as a hair rinse and a cat repellent.
It has long been thought to boost brain power, so scientists were not totally surprised that respondents performed better in tests.
However, they were shocked when they realised the rosemary oil has an effect on the blood, it was reported in the Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology journal.
Dr Mark Moss said: 'We were not surprised by the improvement in cognitive performance following exposure to rosemary aroma as this has been demonstrated previously.
'What excited us was the demonstration that performance was linked to plasma levels of 1,8-cineole following exposure.'
Tests on 20 people showed the natural compound was absorbed through the nose and into the blood plasma.
For Dr Moss, this means there is a more traditional biochemical explanation for the increased cognitive performances previously demonstrated.
'This compound is present in rosemary but has not previously been demonstrated to be absorbed into blood plasma in humans,' he added.
'It is our view that the aroma therefore acts like a therapeutic drug, rather than any effects being a result of the more sensory properties of the aroma.'
Moss reminds that it's easy to forget how many of our therapeutic drugs are the result of plant science.
His team will continue to investigate the therapeutic benefits of several common plants, including peppermint and lavender.
Benefits: Scientists are seeing what effects other herbs have on our health
An upcoming study with rosemary will aim to determine whether 1,8-cineole, when ingested orally, can survive the rigors of the gastrointestinal system to be similarly absorbed into the bloodstream.
The potential benefits of the research are wide-ranging.
'Plants are very complex organisms and contain many different active compounds and these vary in concentration from plant to plant and even within the same plant over the course of a day,' Dr Moss told msnbc.com.
'The accumulation of knowledge regarding possible impacts of plant aromas and extracts could potentially lead to an identification of the best combination to promote specific effects.'
'At its grandest conclusion might be the development of plant-based drugs that might extend mental capacity into old age through pharmacological challenge to decline,' Moss concludes.
