Yum Brands (YUM) reports earnings for the second quarter after the close today, but improvement in China may be wishful thinking.
The stock is flat today after outpacing the broader market, with a climbing 17% so far this year.
Shares of Chinese oil giant CNOOC (CEO) rose 12% Thursday after it reported a first-half earnings decline that beat market expectations and it increased its payout ratio, prompting a Credit Suisse upgrade.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund (EEM) is up 3.4% this morning. China shares also are higher: the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) and the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) are each up about 4% and the Deutsche X-Trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares Fund (ASHR) is up 5.4%.
Credit Suisse analysts Thomas Wong, Horace Tse and Kelly Chen upgraded the stock to Outperform from Neutral and raised their target on the Hong Kong-traded shares to HK$12.0 (from HK$11.3), implying upside of roughly 50%. They write:
"CNOOC reported a strong 1H15 result that is 10% ahead of market expectation. 1H15 EPS was down 56% year over year, but CNOOC raised dividend payout to 62% (vs 27% in 1H14) notwithstanding the oil price collapse, and is determined to retain this dividend policy going forward. A 5% yield is sustainable at $50 oil on our estimate.
1H15 total production rose 13.5% year over year, with offshore China volumes rising 19% year over year led by new project ramp-ups. In addition, the company delivered a spectacular cost-cutting effort which resulted in a 19% YoY decline in OPEX [operating expenses] and 35% decline in SG&A. These are the two key elements that have driven the strong beat."
The company saw a 46% decline in its average oil price to $57.50 per barrel in the first half of 2015, versus $106.30 in the first half of 2014, according to Credit Suisse.
As China prepares to reorganize state-owned enterprises (SOEs), HSBC recently wrote that it remained cautious on the potential share performance of China's oil majors because of oil market volatility. It prefers Sinopec-H (386.HK and SHI) among China's three oil majors "as it may benefit disproportionately from inventory gains and better refining and chemical margins after the price trough." HSBC writes:
"We believe the reforms targeting China's oil and gas sectors may help to further open up the energy markets to all players and encourage competition by restructuring and consolidating major oil companies. Detailed measures may include: 1) upstream: eliminate policy and management barriers so that more capital and companies can enter the segment, especially upstream mining rights; split and merge different sub-sectors, for example oilfield services; 2) midstream: accelerate third party access to SOE-owned pipelines and transmission tariff reform; 3) downstream: re-allocate crude import quota and continue the oil product/natural gas pricing reform."
Earnings weakness is important, and the future glut of liquefied natural gas is also something to consider, but an improving dividend policy for Russia's Gazprom (OGZPY) is what makes the stock attractive, Citi says.
Citi Analysts Ronald Paul Smith and Alexander Bespalo expect payouts rise roughly 40% by 2017, providing a catalyst "over the medium term" before a glut of gas hits the global market. They write:
"The latest data tend to confirm that Gazprom remains on track for a record export volumes to Europe, although we expect it to lose increasing amounts of market share through 2020 on a surge of global LNG production. Importantly, we do not expect Gazprom to attempt to fight for market share in Europe by lowering prices, as the attempt would both fail and be prohibitively expensive for both Gazprom and the Russian government … Conversations with investors indicate that Lukoil (LUKOY) is heavily owned, but that Gazprom remains a long-running underweight. However, we have noted cautious, increasing interest in Gazprom "of late …
In valuing Gazprom, traditional approaches such as earnings multiples and DCF [discounted cash flow] valuations are near useless, we think, as both approaches ignore the key issue for Gazprom, the poor returns earned on the company's reinvestment of its robust earnings and massive cash flows … The Russian government has long targeted an increase in payout from state-owned companies to 25% of IFRS net income by 2017. For Gazprom this would be an effective increase of c40%, boosting dividend yields to c10% year and accounting for c24% of our DDM value. Will the policy happen? Signs point to yes.
Citi has a Buy rating and a $6.76 price target on the ADR, which was recently trading at $4.64, up 4%.The stock is trading at roughly 2.5 times Citi's earnings estimate for 2015; it traded at 12.4 times on 2014 profits. Citi explains:
"Our target price of $6.76 is set as our DDM [discounted dividend model] value of $7.06 less the projected next dividend. Our driving assumptions for the DDM are a long-term growth rate of 6.2%, itself based off a marginal ROE of 8.6% and a dividend payout ratio of 27% (adjusted from 25% to account for normalized DD&A [depreciation, depletion and amortization])."
Mining companies world-wide are fighting to weather a brutal downturn in mineral commodities due to oversupplied markets and slowing demand from China.
Brazilian mining giant Vale (VALE) finds itself in a particularly tough spot thanks in part to its heavy exposure to iron ore. Prices for the metal have plunged, even as Vale is in the middle of a nearly $20 billion expansion of its Carajas iron ore operation in the Brazilian Amazon.
Add a weak local currency and the result has been devastating, resulting in financial losses that have already pushed Vale to slash its proposed 2016 dividend by more than half to $2 billion in a bid to preserve cash.
But BMO Capital Markets warns that Vale's dividend faces further risk from rising debt and lower cash flow. Earlier today, the firm downgraded Vale to Underperform, predicting that the company's 2016 dividend payment will fall to $1 billion.
Analyst Tony Robson and team sees Vale's share price falling almost 27% to $4.50 by this time next year. At $6.16, the stock has fallen almost 60% over the past year.

Shares of Turkey's telecom giant Turkcell are higher today on news that a long-sought-after dividend hike could be imminent.
Reuters reports that the Turkcell board could vote on a $1.5 billion dividend proposal from shareholders including Sweden's TeliaSonera at Thursday's annual meeting. While Turkcell has a complex ownership structure that pits a Russian conglomerate against one of Turkey's wealthiest men, the proposal on a dividend amount is coming from shareholders with a controlling stake and this increases the probability of approval at the annual shareholder meeting Thursday, according to TEB Investment Analyst Toygun Onaran, as quoted by Dow Jones Newswires.
Shares of Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri (TKC) are up 5.2% in U.S. trading, while iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) is up 1%. Among Turkish stocks that trade with U.S. receipts, airport terminal construction and management company TAV Havalimanlari Holding (TAVHY) is up 0.4%, financial institution Turkiye Garanti Bankasi (TKGBY) is up 1% and Akbank (AKBTY and AKBNK.Turkey) is up 0.8%.
Reuters reports that Turkcell shareholders "have been unable to convene meetings because of years of wrangling between Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman and Mehmet Emin Karamehmet, one of Turkey's richest men, for control of the company." Fridman's Alfa Group, Karamehmet's Cukurova Holding and Sweden's TeliaSonera control Turkcell Holdings, which has a controlling stake in its parent, Turkcell. The trio is proposing the dividend.
See the Reuters story, "Turkcell's Shareholders Propose First Dividend In Years."
For history on the ownership complexities of Turkey's telecommunications industry, see this Turkcell investor relations page, as translated via Google: "Turkey GSM Market."
The decline in oil prices over the past six months has taken a toll on South African petrochemical giant Sasol, which indicated it could cut its dividend as part of a plan to conserve cash.
Sasol, which produces oil and natural gas, fuels, chemicals, polymers, fertilizers and explosives, will change its dividend policy from maintaining or increasing dividends to one where dividends may decrease, Reuters Africa reports.
U.S.-traded shares of Sasol (SSL) fell 6% to $38.65 Thursday, among the worst performances in emerging-market stocks. The stock's yield is 6.3%. The iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (EZA) fell 0.7%.
About 40% of Sasol's revenue is from oil production. It also produces fuel from coal. While based in South Africa, it has operations in the United States, Europe and Asia. The company said it expected first-half earnings to rise by up to 9 percent with strong sales offsetting oil price softness.
The range for dividends will be revealed with half-year results March 9, Reuters reports.
Wal-Mart de Mexico shares are rallying after the company reported a 42% increase in fourth quarter net profit and promised to return more cash to shareholders.
Wal-Mart de Mexico (WMMVF) shares were up 4% in recent trading. The company on Tuesday reported fourth quarter net profit of 10.4 billion Mexican pesos ($698 million), on a 4.3% increase in total revenue to 129.44 billion pesos. Walmex had been expected to report net profit of 7.6 billion pesos on sales of 129.9 billion pesos despite customer traffic declines and divestitures over the past year, MarketWatch reports.
Also fueling the rally: Walmex proposes to cap share buybacks this year and raise its dividend by 33% above the 2014 dividend. It would pay 1.84 Mexican pesos per share (12 cents), including an extraordinary dividend subject to the completion of the planned sale of Wal-Mart de Mexico's poorly performing bank unit, the Wall Street Journal reports. The south-of-the-border retailer accounts for 6% of sales at U.S. parent Wal-Mart (WMT), whose shares are down fractionally today.
Turkey's dominant telecom provider, Turkcell, has long had a complicated ownership structure that increasingly is dominated by the Turkish government.
And in light of a likely rise in capital spending, the stock's valuation — 16.6 times estimated earnings for 2015 — looks high relative to other emerging market wireless providers, Citi Research argues in a report out Wednesday.
Citi kept its Neutral rating on the stock, but raised its ex-dividend price target to $12.12 from $10.38 on the prospect of growth from higher capital spending. But Citi's target remains below the Turkcell ADR price. Citi also lowered its estimate for an expected special dividend, to $2.3 billion from more than $3 billion, saying there is risk to the lowered assumption.
Shares of Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri (TKC) are up nearly 2% in U.S. trading today to $14.57. The stock is up 12% over the past year, including a decline of 3.8% year to date. Some of this year's selloff reflects weakness in the Turkish market and lira as central bankers attempt to tamp down inflation while under pressure to lower interest rates. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR), down slightly today, is down 9% year to date, and up more than 11% over the past year.
Here's more from the report, written by analysts Dalibor Vavruska, Dilya Ibragimova and Vibhor Kumar:
"We see a scenario of the Turkish government retaining its direct or indirect control in Turkcell as increasingly plausible. To support our view, over the past two years the government has taken control of Turkcell's board; pressured a local private investor, Yildiz Holding, not to acquire an indirect stake; bailed out Turkcell's most influential shareholder, Cukurova; and prepared legal grounds for the potential takeover of extended shareholder rights in April. …
… We see Turkcell entering a period of elevated Capex with even more depressed free cash flows, potentially combined with management and strategic uncertainty. We expect free cash flow margin to fall to 1-5% and FCF yield to 0-2%, in 2015-16 (fiscal), rising to 5-7% in 17-19 (fiscal), which is still low vs. peers. We see Turkcell at a strategic crossroads. It is unclear how it may respond to the emergence of a trend when content and fixed-line bundling may become more important than legacy coverage."
Especially on LTE, Citi writes, "the government's crucial role in setting policies and its control in Turkcell make the outlook uncertain."

Emerging Market Stocks on the Move

Yandex (YNDX) plunged 8% to $23.03 after announcing a secondary offering yesterday.

WisdomTree launched a China Dividend ETF (CHXF) this week, making it the ETF firm's second country-specific dividend ETF and the first within emerging markets.
The company's aim was to offer investors a different way to access the Chinese market, providing more exposure to domestic-oriented companies not to mention smaller firms than some of the more dominant China-oriented ETFs, WisdomTree's Director of Rsearch Jeremy Schwartz tells Barrons.com.
"Some of the traditional ways have been very concentrated and we don't think are the best way to get access to local Chinese growth," Schwartz says.
As a result, the firm took the 10 largest stocks from every sector outside of financials –provided there were 10 big companies in a sector–to create a more diversified basket. While about half of the FTSE China 25 Index, which is used by the SPDR S&P China ETF (GXC), is invested in financials, the WisdomTree ETF has no financials exposure. Although plenty of investors are down on Chinese banks, often bemoaning a lack of transparency, Schwartz says WisdomTree's decision was not a call on the banks but rather an effort to differentiate themselves and offer investors better diversification.
The China Dividend ETF weights the index according to dividend stream, or float times dividend per share, essentially giving higher weightings to companies growing their dividends.China Mobile (CHL) is a big holding. Energy also also figures prominently in the fund that holds 64 companies. About 18% is in consumer names compared with less than 5% in the FTSE China 25 index and about 11% in MSCI China. About half are large-cap names with a market value of more than $10 billion. A third are mid-cap stocks.
As for whether there are more emerging market dividend plays on the way, Schwartz notes that India is not as attractive a dividend story. But the firms is studying the opportunity in Brazil.
Emerging markets have been synonymous with growth, but the outlook for individual nations is constantly changing.

This is weird, but I seem to have found a conflict with the multilingual qTranslate plugin.
What happens is -- with the default post types order settings -- my nav menus are all coming up empty. That is, a function like
wp_get_nav_menu_items( $menu_id ) returns an empty array.
If I disable the Auto Sort option, things return to normal working order.
Auto Sort does not cause the same problem when qTranslate is disabled.
This also only appears to happen on archive pages like the blog home, category archive, or cpt archive page (I haven't tested others). Single posts & pages don't appear to cause problems with both turned on.
I can't say for sure that this plugin is the source of the problem as it's conflicting with another, but due to the nature of PTO, it seems like the more likely offender.
Any suggestions?

I don't know how else to phrase this question, but I stumbled upon a file which I know from the header is gzipped (1F8B0800) but I am unable to recreate the file no matter what I try (including gzip on OSX, gzip on Linux, compress, and zlib). Even weirder, the gzip -1 output of the gunzipped input is smaller than the input. And weirder still, I see some plaintext (like PNG headers) at near the 80% of the file (followed by more of what I believe is compressed data). I don't think it's unrelated data though because gunzip doesn't give the "trailing garbage ignored" message.
I guess my question is that is there some older version of gzip that gives an output that is larger than a modern gzip -1?

Even in death, David Bowie is making history. The legendary glam rocker broke a Vevo record previously held by Adele.
According to the streaming service which houses 60 Bowie clips, his catalog saw a massive surge after news of his death broke out. On Monday, January 11, he racked up 51 million views. His newest clip, "Lazarus," generated 11.1 million of those views.
The previous benchmark occurred when Adele released her mammoth "Hello" visual on October 23. That day, her new music video buoyed her entire catalog to 36 million views.
This won't be the first time David is expected to surpass Adele. Industry experts predict Bowie's new and final album is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200, pushing Adele's 25 to runner-up slot. If it does, surprisingly, it'll be his first No. 1 debut of his career.
Everyone expected Adele to make a huge impact when she returned, but not even she could've predicted the overwhelming response. Not only did the 27-year-old meet the lofty expectations but she shattered a few records along the way.
According to Hits Daily Double, her soaring ballad "Hello" has sold more than 750,000 downloads since dropping late last week. The previous benchmark was "Right Round" back in 2009 when Flo Rida shifted 636,000 units. With still a few days left before a full week of release, Adele could easily break the million mark.
Nicki Minaj and her ample booty have been kicked to the curb. Up until this week, the 32-year-old rapper held the Vevo record for most views in a 24-hour period. A distinction she's held since August 2014.
Minaj's rump-rocking "Anaconda" video generated 19.6 million views immediately after its debut but has now been dethroned. Taylor Swift's star-studded "Bad Blood" clip received 20.1 million views in just 24 hours. Prior to Minaj, Miley Cyrus and her "Wrecking Ball" visual held the record with 19.3 million.
Congrats to Taylor for yet another accolade. I have to say, I've watched "Bad Blood" at least 20 times since it's premiere this week. It's not as great as "Blank Space," but for some reason, I can't get enough of it. Check it out below if you haven't seen it yet.
Despite all the headlines and chart success, Miley Cyrus received no Grammy nominations. I guess all her antics scared off Academy voters. Here's a small consolation prize for being snubbed.
VEVO recently released their annual list ranking the ten most played music videos of the year. In no shocker, Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" topped the list. After all, the clip generated 19.3 million views on its first day of release and was the fastest to be certified in VEVO's history by reaching 100 million views within just six days. As of December 1, the much-spoofed clip stood tall with over 371 million views worldwide. Last year's winner, "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen notched 357 million clicks in 2012.
The most interesting part of the list is how a couple of leftovers from last year made the list. Both Rihanna's "Diamonds" and will.i.am's collabo with Britney landed in the Top 10. On the flip side, Katy Perry breaking the Top 5 is equally as impressive, given that "Roar" only premiered just in August. Check out below what other clips were extremely popular in 2013.
A while back, I wrote bout a hilarious video by Tommy Woolridge where he used Taylor Swift lyrics as pickup lines when approached random strangers. All of the funny awkwardness was caught on hidden camera and now, he got an official gig out of it.
A new series on Vevo just debuted today called Vevo Lyric Lines and this first episode is called, "Justin Bieber Lyrics Pick Up Girls?" The romantically-challenged filmmaker can't get a girlfriend but his idea is to use lyrics from today's top artists as pick up lines, and document his musical pursuit of love for VEVO!
Here's what Tommy says about this episode: "I don't know much about girls, but I know girls love Justin Bieber. I figured maybe at least one of his fans might be interested in me. So I decided to use lyrics from "Beauty and a Beat," "Boyfriend," and "Baby" to pick up chicks. Watch to see how it went…" Watch #VEVOLyricLines for his hilariously awkward attempts at wooing women. The first episode is below.
Before I begin, I just wanted to preface this post by saying it's bit self-indulgent. That said, the aim of our Behind The Cast posts are to give you a better insight to who we are. True? Anyhoo, I just wanted to quickly chat about one of our favorite pastimes while getting ready for a night out on the town.
Usually, Brian and my home is the meeting place before we head out. Most of our friends live nearby and we have a bigger place so it makes sense. Plus we have all the board games, karaoke, a hot tub, booze and most importantly an Apple TV. Combined with the brilliant VEVO app, the Apple TV is my favorite thing in the world. Friends come over all the time and play me their favorite new tracks by simply logging on to our Wi-Fi and playing it on our sound system. With the VEVO app, we can play all our current music video obsessions and our favorite oldies which brings me to this post.
Nothing gets a roomful of homos screaming more than playing music videos from our favorite DIVAS. Yes, we're a gay cliche. However, we also listen to folk music, old school grunge, rock and hip-hop but there's something about the ladies that gets us all fired up. I decided to share some of the music videos that seem to get the most airplay at our house while enjoying cocktails. I purposefully left out clips from 2012 since that would make this post extremely long. Without further delay, check out a few oldies and relatively-recent clips we love watching while a tad intoxicated.
Britney Spears is now officially #VEVOCertified after reaching 100 million views on both her "Till The World Ends" music video and "I Wanna Go" music video.
Spears was presented with the two awards by three of her biggest fans. The whole #VEVOCertified event for Britney is documented in a five videos (which I've included below). The first video shows her receiving the award, saying that it is probably one of the coolest awards she's ever received. In the second video, Britney talks about making music videos, while in the third we hear from some of her Britney Superfans. In the fourth video, Britney provides a commentary on her "Till The World Ends" music video, while in the fifth she does the same for "I Wanna Go".
Watch the videos below for your first Britney fix of the week. As you know, you'll be seeing her later this week on The X Factor where she'll debut her new "Scream & Shout" music video with will.i.am.
After a summer of leaks, Kelly Clarkson is finally set to release some solid material for her upcoming fifth studio album, "Stronger". Recently, she took VEVO behind-the-scenes of her music video shoot for the lead-off single "Mr. Know It All" where Kelly lets us all have it, stating that we really don't know a thing about her.
In the Justin Francis directed video, Kelly explains how it will showcase different sides of Kelly. One of the prominently featured sections of the video the "wall of doubt" which is a wall covered in newspaper and magazine clippings of things written about Kelly, true, false, hurtful or ridiculous. She states that this a side of her, dealing with it in a sarcastic manner.
What I like about the look of this upcoming video is that it looks simple, laid back and will truly just accentuate the song, rather than take away from it. I personally love the track and cannot wait to hear what the rest of the album has in store. Check out the behind-the-scenes look below.

Here are the top 10 ways to lower your risk of cancer.
So, I'm facing down my 40th birthday. It's two weeks away and, surprisingly, my mid-life crisis is holding off. For now.

Hi MDBitz.
Thanks for the great plugin, exactly what I was searching for.
But I have little problem. I wanted to check if localization works and tried to open my site through proxy services like http://5.hidemyass.com/ip-1, http://www.daveproxy.co.uk or http://goproxing.com and my links aren't there. They simply disappear. Do You know what is going on. I'm little concerned that no everyone will have the possibility to click my links.

School may be starting next week, but it's still summer fun-time in Brunswick County.
Free summer concerts and movies staged by Brunswick County Parks and Recreation continue through September in Ocean Isle Beach, downtown Shallotte and Holden Beach.
Bring a blanket or chair and enjoy the relaxing evenings and lineup of entertainment still remaining in the season.
Thanks to the generosity of local community sponsors, a variety of music and movies are offered at no cost to the audience, although cash donations for local food pantries are being accepted.
"Hopefully this will be our only call this year," Brunswick County Emergency Services Director Randy Thompson said Friday morning during a conference call about Hurricane Bill.
The call, which featured an update on Bill from the National Weather Service, had representatives from area municipalities, rescue services and law enforcement agencies.
SUNSET HARBOR—From a cozy fireplace to an outdoor kitchen to an upstairs "sleeping porch" complete with hanging bed, the Coastal Living Idea House in the Seawatch community has ideas for every taste.
That's the purpose of the magazine's annual Idea House, which opens for tours to provide customers with ideas for their own homes. Each year, the idea house uses materials from national sponsors as well as local and regional providers to create a one-of-a-kind dream home for touring and to feature in the magazine.
Brunswick County Sheriff's detectives are searching for two missing teenagers.
Katrina Nicole McGriff, 16, and Kayla Victoria Jenkins, 16, were last seen around 2:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17, on Cory Lane in Leland. They left a Cory Lane residence in a 2004 gray Pontiac Grand Am four-door vehicle with a front tag that reads, "Kayla's Ride."
They are possibly in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area, where Jenkins' mother last talked to her daughter on her cell phone.

Six minutes. Look at the clock. What can you accomplish—start to finish—in six minutes?
Six minutes is the amount of time David Smith had between death and life and in those six minutes, a team of local basketball players pulled him back to life.
Bill Davis of Boiling Spring Lakes arranged for a group of Brunswick County men to gather at Supply Elementary School every Monday and Wednesday to play basketball.
On July 8, Jim Dieudonne, Mike Sullivan, "Chopper" and Gerry Bradley joined Smith and others on the court.

Hassan Nemazee Pleads Not Guilty in Style
Just because you've been accused of doing something bad doesn't mean you have to LOOK bad.
New York businessman and prominent Democratic fund-raiser Hassan Nemazee likes pretty things and fast cars, and he is not about to let the accusation that he has defrauded banks of $292 million cramp his style. According to the WSJ's Law Blog, Nemazee arrived in court to plead not guilty to the scheme "looking dapper in a dark suit." Good for him. As John Gotti once proved, just because you've been accused of doing terrible things doesn't mean you have to look terrible. We wish more accused criminals would take such pride in their personal appearances. We're looking at you, Dreier.

WEST BEND, Wis. (November 30, 2012)--Tinker is a miniature horse that's proving to be a big money raiser for the Salvation Army.
He uses his mouth to hold and ring a red bell and also picks up a "Thank You Merry Christmas" sign.
He can also bow and give kisses.
Crowds usually gather to watch the 13-year-old horse and take photos, pet him and, of course, put some money in the red kettle.
Major Roger Ross, a Salvation Army commander, says Tinker brings in 10 times the amount of a regular bell ringer in the area.

Health & Pregnancy
Weatherproof Your Pregnancy Workout
Keeping Cool
Hot, humid summer afternoons are another time to skip an outdoor walk or run.
"Babies don't develop as well with excessive heat, which is why pregnant women are told to avoid hot tubs," Williams says. "You get so hot, you raise the temperature of the baby. Don't be outside in the middle of the day in July or August exercising."
You can also overheat while working out indoors, especially in a group fitness class.
"If you look in the mirror and you see that your face is really flushed, I'd take it down a notch," O'Brien says.
Try the Talk Test
Years ago, doctors told pregnant patients to keep their heart rates below a certain number to ensure that they didn't exercise too intensely. Today, many experts prefer pregnant women to consider their rate of perceived exertion instead.
"We don't really go by heart rate anymore, because everybody's resting heart rate is different," O'Brien says. "Instead, you should work out at a 7 on a scale from 1 to 10, rating your perceived exertion."
If you're unsure what a 7 would be, try talking.
"You shouldn't be gasping for breath," O'Brien says. "You should be able to complete a full sentence while exercising."
If you can't rate your perceived exertion, there's also the heart-rate system.
"Some patients like to have a number, because the exercise bikes at the gym have a grip for pulse rate," Williams says. "In general, it's ideal to keep your pulse rate below 150, but the more in-shape the person is, the harder it is to get to 150. A morbidly obese person can go up a flight of stairs and be at 150. Being able to carry on a conversation is a better guide than having an exact pulse rate."
The Yoga Factor
Some people think that yoga and pregnancy go hand in hand, so novices buy a DVD or sign up for class. This isn't always a good idea.
"Only go to a prenatal yoga class," O'Brien says. "They will be very specific about what you can and can't do."

Someone hacked (or more likely fumblefingered while screwing around) the AP twitter account, saying that the White House had been bombed, and Wall Street utterly floods with trader poo.
And you can't get to AP's twitter feed any more. And their website has just a small banner above the unrelated totally articles saying "Disregard bogus tweets from AP Twitter account."
As if that's going to fix it.
Obama should declare him an enemy combatant and then take him out with a drone. He can do this after he passes his pressure cooker control legislation. We simply cannot have people buying pressure cookers without a back ground check.
I was reading the other day that anyone who has ever taken an anti depressant might not pass a back ground check. That means 10% of the US population fails on that alone. So if someone's son gets killed in a car accident and the doctor suggest that he take an anti depressant for a few months during his period of grief he better think twice if he ever wants to own a gun in the future. As the assumption seems to be that anyone who has ever used any of these drugs must be crazy.
Reverse logic: If a spider can walk up a wall then anything that can walk up a wall must be a spider. Only a simpleton thinks like this. But then, that is what we seem to have in congress.
The 2nd Amendment, at the time it was written, only applied to about 30% of the population anyway.
A gun is a killing machine. Not a toy, and not a security blanket. Limiting its use only to those who are thoroughly competent ("well-regulated", in the 18th-century sense) to use it is the point of the first half of the sentence.
The NRA has, deliberately, recast the right to keep and bear arms as universal and absolute, when it never was. In so doing they attempt to usurp the Constitution, for the sake of making a buck, and the results are a diminution of the security of the nation, not an improvement.

But his contract stipulates Miles will get the loot for being "consensus" Coach of the Year. John Beilein was voted the honor by league media. Hmmmm. Regardless, Miles still expects to cash in.

Share the post "Orioles' Chris Davis hits 10th inning homer to beat Mariners 2-1"
Baltimore Orioles 1st baseman Chris Davis nailed a homerun on Friday night in the 10th inning to lead the Orioles to a 2-1 win over the Seattle Mariners at the Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington.
Davis led off the 10th inning, and stroked a fastball over the plate thrown by Mariners relief pitcher Charlie Furbush over the right field fence for a game-winning homerun.
Davis' homerun has been one of the rare good things that he's done this month, as he's hitting.203 and has had only two games in July where he had 2 hits. His other games have 1 hit or less. It's got to be a huge disappointment for Davis and the Orioles in how badly he's playing in 2014.
Last season, Davis hit 53 home runs with 138 RBIs and a batting average of .286. The Orioles did the right thing by taking a wait and see approach to signing Davis to a long-term contract with the team, because Davis had struggled badly with his hitting with the Texas Rangers from 2008-2011, at which point they basically gave up on him.
Davis continued to play poorly with his new team the Orioles in 2011. In 2012, he started to turn his game around in hitting .270 with 33 home runs.
That led to Davis having a huge season in 2013. At point Davis was on pace to hit over 60 home runs in a season. The last player to hit over 60 home runs in a season is Barry Bonds, who hit 73 homers in the 2003 season for the San Francisco Giants. Ever since then the closest a player has gotten to that magical 60 homer total is Ryan Howard in 2006 when he hit 58 home runs.
"For me, this year it's been a lot harder than I'd like to have been," Davis said to Yahoo Sports. "So any time I have the opportunity to pick these guys up, I try to do it."
Davis on pace to hit over 30 homeruns this season with over 100 RBIs, but his batting average is near .200, and that's totally unsatisfactory for a starting 1st baseman. If Davis doesn't come out of his hitting slump soon, the Orioles are going to need to think about benching him.
