Histopathological examination of the skin biopsy specimen showed a cutaneous metastasis of an unknown primary adenocarcinoma. The patient was referred to the Department of Surgery, where a computed tomographic image was obtained. The image showed a large tumor of the sigmoid colon with metastasis to the abdominal wall (Figure 2). During the preoperative analysis, the patient developed an ileus for which surgical treatment was mandatory. The tumor was resected by one of us (B.A.B.) and included part of the visceral bladder, metastases of the peritoneum, and resection of the umbilical tumor.

Crohn disease is a granulomatous disease of the bowel that may affect other organs.1 The skin is commonly involved, and the cutaneous manifestations may be nonspecific. Specific skin lesions of Crohn disease may be separated from the affected bowel by normal skin, a rare condition termed metastatic Crohn disease.
Infection of the umbilicus is a common skin finding because of the skin folds of the umbilicus, which in some cases are prone to intertriginous dermatitis and secondary impetigo. In this case, antibacterial therapy did not improve the lesion.
A primary umbilical adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare finding.2 The differential diagnosis can also include benign skin tumors (eg, pyogenic granuloma and epidermal inclusion cysts) or primary malignant tumors (eg, nonmelanoma skin cancer and amelanotic melanoma), which are rare. In women, endometriosis can localize to the umbilicus.3
Metastatic cancer of the umbilicus is known as Sister Mary Joseph nodule, which is a rare physical sign encountered in 1% to 3% of patients with malignant neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and ovary. It presents as a firm, irregular nodule, 0.5 to 2 cm, that may ulcerate or become necrotic and is sometimes exudative with pus, blood, or serous fluid.3 The nodule is named for Sister Mary Joseph (1856-1939), who was an assistant to William Mayo, the surgeon. She was the first to note the association between paraumbilical tumors observed during the preparation of the skin for surgery and metastatic intra-abdominal cancer confirmed at surgery. The umbilicus is a site of metastases (any of which is referred to as a Sister Mary Joseph nodule) for visceral tumors because of its generous vascular and embryologic connections.4 Metastases occur via direct extension through the peritoneum by retrograde subserosal lymphatic spread or by venous vascular spread through anastomotic branches of the superficial epigastric, internal mammary, lateral thoracic, and portal veins. Embryologic remnants of the umbilical cord are the urachus; medial umbilical ligaments (obliterated umbilical arteries); ligamentum teres (obliterated left umbilical vein), which continues in the falciform ligament; and remnants of the omphalomesenteric duct. All these also represent possible routes for metastatic tumor cells.5 The arterial blood supply is via the deep circumflex iliac artery and the inferior epigastric branches of the external iliac artery and the superior epigastric artery.6 Sister Mary Joseph nodule is an ominous sign with a poor prognosis and denotes a life expectancy of less than 1 year.3,5,6

This set is beautiful! Well-made and stylish!
the brick panels were shaded differently and there were scratches on the panels.
These look perfect in the space for which I purchased them -- on each side of a large entertainment armoire. They are quite light but have a substantial look to them. I strung wire to hang them rather than try to match up two hangers and it worked very well.
I received my Somber Leaves Metal Wall Art this morning and my husband put it up in our family room. Let me just say, it is worth far more than I paid. It is simply elegant and beautiful. The picture in the Touch of Class catalog does not do this piece justice. The sculpture is exquisite. Thank you so much Touch of Class for offering the best of the best at such modest prices. I am a very happy and satisfied customer!!!!!
The somber leaves metal wall panel set looks spectacular in our living room. I like it even better than I expected. It's a very nice addition to the framed art in the room.

Edmunds.com and Parents magazine rate the Lordstown-built Chevrolet Cruze Eco and Sonic as two of the Best Family Cars for 2012, General Motors Co. reported.
One reason may be the Cruze is built to withstand being doused with 6,600 gallons of water - a lifetime of water exposure - as engineers test seals to ensure the car can handle intense rain and other weather hazards, GM said.
"The Cruze Eco and Sonic are the best small Chevys ever built," said Scott Oldham, Edmunds.com editor-in-chief. "They are fun to drive, attractive, well-built and extremely fuel-efficient, making them excellent choices for anyone shopping for a compact or subcompact car."
Dana Points, Parents editor-in-chief, said magazine officials "know that buying a new car is a big family decision, so we want our guide to make the process easier. The Cruze Eco and the Sonic scored high safety marks, and parents using the vehicles were impressed with the responsiveness and the family friendly features."
The Eco, along with other model trims, are built at the 4,500-worker Lordstown Complex.
Both the Cruze Eco and Sonic deliver fuel economy of 40 mpg or more on the highway and offer consumers comfort, safety and advanced technology at a value.
The Cruze - Chevrolet's best-selling car around the world - provides the amenities, quietness, safety features, infotainment and roominess expected of a larger, more expensive sedan, but with the efficiency of a compact car, GM officials said.
GM noted the Cruze Eco achieves its hybrid-like highway fuel economy, estimated at 42 miles per gallon, with a 1.4L Ecotec turbocharged engine, six-speed manual transmission and features that improve its aerodynamics, minimize weight and reduce rolling resistance.
It also is designed to withstand exposure to 6,600 gallons of water in eight minutes, thanks to 825 gallons of water spraying from 330 nozzles at GM's Universal Water Test booth at the Milford Proving Ground in Michigan.
GM said the Cruze goes through a number of other tests, such as GM's Climatic Wind Tunnel, which replicates hurricane-force winds, and the Flooded Road Lab, where it's driven through up to one foot of water to help eliminate water leaks into the engine compartment or doors.
The Thermal Chamber tests the car for conditions ranging from arctic cold to desert heat and the Dust Booth exposes the car to an extreme number of dust particles to help keep it air tight.
"We go above and beyond Mother Nature to ensure our vehicles can withstand the elements," said Kevin Dunn, GM global vehicle development owner - splash contaminants. "This type of creative testing helps ensure our vehicles can better withstand rain, snow, wind, dust and other day-to-day contaminants."

Amateur skater Kevin Conway of Saugus attempted as many creative tricks he could think of in 15 minutes to set himself apart from dozens of other competitors.
"I was just focused on skating differently than other people," said Conway, 16, after competing in the 15-and-over heat. "I tried a lot of tricks other people really don't do, like I air-walked the six-stair."
Santa Clarita Skate Park marked the only California stop on Volcom Stone's fifth national Wild in the Parks contest. It was also the tour's first-ever stop in California.
That meant it was a "big deal," according to several of the nearly 200 amateur skaters competing on Saturday.
"It's an opportunity for the kids of this town and surrounding areas to come to an event of this magnitude and show off what they've been doing in this park for the last 200 days," said Craig Glober, owner of the new skate shop, Push, just blocks away from the park.
The competition gave competitors in three different heats — 14-and-under, 15-and-over and Pro-Am — a chance to showcase their street-skating skills in three separate park "zones."
The top seven in each division, for a total of 21 finalists, will go on to compete in the Wild in the Parks Championships in Phoenix on Sept. 26 and the chance at a $20,000 cash prize.
At least three of the top seven finalists in each group were from the Santa Clarita Valley, city recreation officials said. See "Related Content" for the complete list of finalists.
The event also provided entertainment for hundreds of non-competitors and parents like Monica Carceller supporting her son Cristian.
"He's at the skate park daily," said Carceller, of Valencia, in reference to Cristian. "All his friends are competing so it's a big deal for him."
Cristian said he focused on his performance, not on the skaters flipping and flying around him.
"I try to pace myself so I can keep enough energy to do more tricks," he said.
Wild in the Parks Director Jeff Arnold ranked the three most-impressive tricks he'd seen after two hours as the switch 360 flip, Nollie backside big-spin and a front-side flip over the flat bar — all performed in the 15 and over group. But he was "by no means" limiting the above-average tricks he'd witnessed to only three, he said.
Arnold said they chose the "jam" format because it is less intimidating and more inclusive than having skaters show their skills one at a time.
"Everyone is having fun and skating with their friends," he said.
Arnold said Volcom chose the local skate park because it was perfect for the jam format of the competition.
The 40,000-square-foot skate park opened last spring.
"When we sat down and designed it, we definitely had it in the back of our minds for venues like this," said Doug Botton, recreation administrator for the city of Santa Clarita. "This is the first we've done and I have a feeling it's going to grow."

Featured Golf News
Up & Down in the Hills around Lake of the Ozarks
Set nearly in the middle of the "Show Me State" virtually equidistant from Kansas City to the west and St. Louis to the east, the Lake of the Ozarks attracts all manner of visitors, most of all whom seek relaxation that a few days - or weeks or months - on the water.
The Lake of the Ozarks opened 70 years ago after the construction of Bagnell Dam backed up the Osage River and four others to form what was then the largest man-made lake in the country, encompassing some 61,000 acres. When completed, there were 1,300 miles of indented shoreline, more than the California coast.
As the area developed, arcades, souvenir shops and lakeside cabins gave it a reputation as a family destination. While that remains the Lake of the Ozarks' underlying charm, during the past two decades the region has become more sophisticated. Spas have opened, multimillion-dollar golf courses have been built and the lake is now considered a top-rate retirement area.
During a trip to the region over the span of an oft-rainy four days in June, we focused on two things - having fun and playing a lot of golf. In this region where you can play as many as 279 holes and never play the same hole twice, those two goals were not mutually exclusive.
The fifth hole at the Ridge
The Ridge is a Rollercoaster Ride
Up-and-down action and challenging sidehill lies are the greatest features of the Ridge Golf Course at the Lodge of Four Seasons in Lake Ozark, just north of Osage Beach. Cut through the tall stands of timber, this course's hills and valleys boast more than 180 feet of elevation change and are accentuated with natural rock walls and a spring-fed lake.
Designed by Ken Kavanaugh and opened in 1991 as Seasons Ridge, the Ridge has been ranked by Golf Digest as a 4-star course in its "Places to Play." Many golfers refer to the 18-hole track's altitude drops and generous landing areas as player-friendly, but without a doubt the Ridge allows players to enjoy rolling hills, bunches of native wildflowers and beautiful views of the lake.
The 6th Green at the Ridge
The Ridge - which plays to just 6,447 yards from its back set of four tees - boasts numerous vistas that offer scenic views and elevated holes that are played downhill, which everyone enjoys. The course also offers good-sized greens with two or three tiers to spice things up.
There is just one par-4 of more than 400 yards at the Ridge, as the track tempts you with short two-shotters (at least four that can be challenged, even from the tips) that demand laser-like accuracy and outstanding wedge play.
You get a great indication of what the round offers while standing on the first tee. The par-4 340-yard opener plays sharply downhill and turns gently to the right toward the two bunkers. Think twice before reaching for the driver here as the smart play is laying up to leave a short iron into the green.
You then venture back uphill the entire length of the 410-yard par-4 third, whose real defense is its tiny green. Miss the putting surface to left on your approach and you'll have a slippery downhill chip. If you miss right you may have a blind chip shot up the hill.
The Ridge's signature hole is No. 6, a 555-yard par-5 that is a straight and skinny challenge and sports a big creek across the fairway in front of the humongous, three-tiered green. This hole is widely considered to be the toughest par-5 in the area.
The 10th hole is - at 560 yards - is another tough par-5, requiring three quality shots if you want a shot at birdie. The hardest shot on the hole is the second, as a long bunker and creek run along the right 200 yards from the putting surface pinches the landing area. Play it safe and leave yourself a comfortable distance into the flat, deep green.
The 341-yard 11th is another of the par-4s you may want to take a swing at, but think twice as the fairway narrows very quickly and doesn't allow much room for inaccuracy. Hole placement on a small tier on the green can make for a tricky birdie attempt. No. 12 is the best of the Ridge's four par-3s, as - at 165 yards - you have to contend with a carry over an arm of the lake ,a hill behind the green, and a bunker in front.
The round ends with two holes that can make or break your score. The 554-yard par-5 17th buttonhooks leftward at the 100-yard mark, forcing you to decide how much to cut off the approach. A huge bunker awaits underneath the elevated green.
The closing hole is another temptress, and at just 322 yards and full of adrenaline to finish well you may not take into consideration the 15 bunkers scattered along the fairway from the landing area to the green. Even if you reach the green off the tee, the 18th's main defense is a back-to-front sloping putting surface.
The Ridge contains Zoysia fairways, excellent playing conditions and smooth, fast greens. Golfweek magazine selected it as the sixth-best public course in Missouri. The course carries a rating of 71.4 and a slope of 130 - pretty stout for a track that plays to less than 6,500 yards.

The 11th Hole at Rolling Hills
Rolling Hills Sports Many Tests & a Love-Hate Hole
On our return to Kansas City we stopped off in Versailles at Rolling Hills Country Club, which bills itself as the first golf course built in the Lake of the Ozarks. Opened as a nine-hole course in 1956 and eventually expanded to 18 holes, the layout features a park-like setting amid mature woodlands. Its hills and strategically-placed bunkers provide a varied and fun-to-play setting.
Rolling Hills is a semiprivate, par-71 track about 35 minutes from either Osage Beach or Camdenton that measures 6,590 yards from the tips. Some of the Lake area's best bentgrass greens and tight Bermuda fairways are highlights of the course, which had some maintenance issues when we visited.
The venue has many mature trees dotting the landscape situated in a rural atmosphere. It's conveniently close to the lake, yet removed enough to ensure a tranquil experience. Rolling Hills's rating is 70 and it has a slope of 121.
We liked the foursome of par-3s at Rolling Hills, the toughest of which is the 201-yard 11th. Here you play uphill and over the corner of a pond to a difficult-to-reach green.
The course's signature hole is No. 17, a 396-yard par-4 that turns sharply to the right and requires a left-to-right tee shot of about 220 yards. From that point, the golfer will have an approach of about 140 yards to a devilish green protected by a lake short and right, and out of bounds left. The verdict is usually split: half the players love this hole and the rest don't, but everyone surely remembers it.

Excerpt from "Heard of These New England Impostors?" Yankee Magazine, April, 1989.
One cold day in March of 1863 a fair-haired English lad arrived at the Hutchings' farmhouse in North Castine, Maine. He told his hosts to call him Sir Charles Cecil Jocelyn, for he was heir to the fortune of a wealthy uncle baronet. The story spread throughout the region that an English nobleman was in their midst, though he'd been cheated out of his fortune by an evil cousin.
He soon married the Hutchings' daughter, Annie, and instead of working, borrowed local folks' life savings, promising to repay them from his future wealth. Annie enrolled in an etiquette course to prepare for the day she'd be entertaining the British peerage at their uncle's mansion in England.
Of course, the story doesn't end well. Charles was eventually jailed and Annie, broken-hearted, had to cancel her etiquette course. But the Hutchings' house in North Castine still stands, and residents in the area today recall the old-timers talking of Castine's only English baronet. He was, they said, "the cleverest talker ever in these parts."
In the early days of the National Football League, a team from Providence called the Steamroller won the 1928 league championship. A key player was lineman Perry Jackson. Only he was not Perry Jackson. The year before, the Steamroller coach had cabled the real Perry Jackson, the star of an Oklahoma college team, to come and try out. But Jackson, who had fallen ill, sent his teammate, Arnold Schockley, in his place. Schockley made the team and played for three years.
The real Perry Jackson eventually recovered from his illness and tried out for the Steamroller, using the name Arnold Schockley. He was cut.
She has been called one of the most terrifying con artists in recent American history, but in the summer of 1980 the people of Marlow, New Hampshire, knew her only as Robbi Hannon Homan, an attractive and pleasant married woman who worked as a secretary in nearby Keene. Robbi lived among them only two years when news of her death, while visiting her sister in Texas, was reported in the Keene Sentinel. Robbi's twin sister, Terri Martin, moved to Marlow and into the home and heart of her grieving brother-in-law.
When detectives finally unraveled a growing mystery surrounding Robbi Homan's "death," they found that Robbi Homan had faked her death and returned as Terri Martin. In reality, she was neither woman, but Audrey Marie Hilley, convicted of murdering her husband and suspected of poisoning her daughter, and an escapee from an Alabama prison. She became infamous as "The Black Widow." After her unmasking and capture in Vermont, she was returned to Alabama where she died in 1987 while trying, once again, to escape.
Last January Captain Robert J. Hunt of Medford, Massachusetts, handsomely outfitted in NASA's blue jumpsuit, awed a group of flying enthusiasts in Bedford with the account of his trip into space aboard the space shuttle Atlantis. He autographed pictures he had taken aboard the craft, explained weightlessness, and told of his adventures as a Marine fighter pilot in the bombing of Libya.
In the end the exploits of Captain Hunt proved as phony as the burnt kitchen tiles he had given to friends, saying they were relics of the space shuttle Challenger. His speech to the aviators was his last trick. When he was exposed as an imposter, even his wife found she had been taken in.
He was only 27, but already he had lived in five states at seven addresses with three wives, counting among his occupations baseball player, baby powder manufacturer, a New Hampshire shopping mall developer, an Army lieutenant, and a jet pilot. On a recent trip to Ireland, the Lord Mayor of Dublin welcomed the self-proclaimed astronaut as an honorary citizen of the city, but was taken aback when Hunt bragged that the British prime minister had given him permission to marry in Westminster Abbey.

I was told by my mom that my grandma and grandpa were outside. I became curious and went out, and there was a white laundry basket that had a closed top. My grandparents told me to look inside, and there was a little striped tabby on a couple of blankets. She looked sadly up to me and buried her face in her paws, and when we opened the basket, she didn't exit for quite a while. My grandparents wished me a Merry Christmas, and that was the best gift I've ever gotten; especially since my first cat had just died.

Ford (NYSE: F ) rolled out the new Mondeo sedan to its Chinese dealers last week. As you can tell from the photo, the Mondeo is Ford's Fusion with a few small tweaks -- and Ford has high hopes for its mid-sized mainstay.
Ford's hopes aren't likely to be misplaced. Its Focus is already one of China's best-selling cars -- and sales were up big, once again, in August. In this video, Fool contributor John Rosevear shares the latest on Ford's efforts in China -- and looks at why Ford's current product formula is playing so well with Chinese car buyers.
China has been a big success story for Ford -- one that could pay off big for Ford shareholders in a couple of years. It's just one of a few critical things that could make Ford's stock soar once they fall into place. In The Motley Fool's special free report entitled "5 Secrets to Ford's Future," we outline the key factors every Ford investor needs to watch. Just click here now for your free report.

Remember that the MEPAP 1 or 2 are only 1 of 3 components for national certification. You still need a certain amount of continuing education and a certain amount of actual work experience with individuals 55 years or older. You can research which track you would be taking as well to pursue your certification at the NCCAP website. Good luck.

Go to www.nccap.org and click on "MEPAP Course Instructor Listing" and read through the information that we have available for you. Contact the instructors and see when they are teaching in your area. Also, contact instructors in other states as many are willing to travel if there are enough people who register!

There are a ton of options! All of the info can be found at the www.nccap.org website.

82, 17, Everyone loses
September 7, 2009 - John Mehno
The Pirates lost 4-2 to the Chicago Cubs Monday afternoon, assuring them of a 17th consecutive losing season.
I ran a contest here inviting everyone to pick which game would be the 82nd loss. No one picked Monday's game, so no prize will be awarded. Honorable mention to Alan Bellomo, who picked Sunday's game and thus missed it by less than 24 hours.
However, the contest we had in April to guess the number of games the Pirates will win is still ongoing. But anyone who guessed a number above 80 has been eliminated in that.
We'll announce that winner shortly after the season ends on Sunday, Oct. 4. The winner will receive a box of leftover Pirates promotional stuff, to be mailed as soon as I can find an empty box and get to the Post Office.

Window Per Task
Make a specific window for each task the user must perform. All of the information needed to complete a task should be available in the FewPanes
of the window. Assume prerequisite tasks have been completed (if they haven't, the user will simply change windows.)
This pattern effectively side-steps gross problems
once had with mutually-dependent windows.
engineers knew exactly what tasks their users performed. There were only five or six and they could be done independently.
This pattern's called "Task Window" (
) in the
I even suggest using the task name (which may come from the steps in a use case description) as the title of the window. This tells the user explicitly where in the use case he is (not that he knows it's a use case :-) ), and helps you to adhere to the rule of
. I know this can work out fine in very small systems; I don't know about bigger ones. --
I'm not entirely comfortable with
. Smalltalkers get pretty good at WPT, and even they can get confused unless they use really good window arrangement discipline (a thing I have not fully learned). I've seen relatively inexperienced users get really confused with multiple windows. I think single windows may be better for the inexperienced. Any experimental data known out there? --
I reviewed a large utility program once that had 1200 windows. It may have followed WPT, but I doubt it. At
, we had two windows, a Navigator which supported the task of finding information and a Task Editor which supported the task of changing information. The users knew exactly which of these to use when.
Modes?! Oh! The Humanity!
Re: Smalltalk's design. I think the problem is that the windows don't support a whole task. Just as the ObjectExplorer
puts a bunch of Inspectors in a single window, there is a UI waiting to happen which puts a bunch of senders/implementors browsers in a single window. The
also helps alleviate window pollution. --
Re: Window Per Task: I think that it is not intuitively obvious that a "task" maps to a single window in each case. One example can be found in the "wizards" used commonly in Microsoft Windows and other software to accomplish more complex "tasks." Is a wizard a Window?
Maybe the "outer" window could be a task, and the inner window (which may have not visible borders) is specific to each step of the wizard. Thus, sub-windows become sub-tasks.
If you think of each window as a small tool that does one thing well, this is in the finest tradition of application design and KISS. Assuming the requirements negotiation went well, this also means you are mapping a window to each storyboard panel, which in turn maps to an ideal use case. There are some of us (well, maybe just me) who wouldn't think of doing it any other way. --
Inductive User Interface
As far as I can tell, the "Inductive User Interface" (
) seems to be the same as Window Per Task.

DEARBORN, Mich. — The Arab American National Museum plans to honor the life and work of late Lebanese-American journalist Anthony Shadid during its annual book award ceremony.
The museum in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn said Monday that The New York Times journalist will be honored with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award during the Sept. 29 program.
The longtime correspondent in the Middle East for the Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe and The Associated Press died in February at age 43 of an apparent asthma attack while on assignment in Syria.
Among this year's book award winners are Diana Abu-Jaber in the fiction category for "Birds of Paradise."
The national literary competition aims to recognize books and authors dealing with Arab America.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
- 2008
Madonna's Candy
After getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Justin Timberlake, Madonna, 49, debuts her single, "4 Minutes," which she worked on with Timberlake. The song is off her new album, Hard Candy, which takes the top spot on Billboard's 200 albums chart.
David's Adoption is Official
After premiering her documentary on the children of Malawi, I Am Because We Are, Madonna's adoption of 2-year-old David Banda is finalized. Justice Andrew Nyirenda says he is satisfied that Madonna and Ritchie "are perfect parents" for the toddler. Although Madonna says the controversy surrounding the adoption has been painful, "It made me stronger, so I guess I can't complain."
Madonna & Guy Divorce
After being plagued with reports of having an affair with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, Madonna and Ritchie announced the end of their marriage. In January, their divorce becomes final, and Madonna moves on with model Jesus Luz.
- 2009
Malawi Gives Madonna Mercy
Madonna returns to Malawi in the hopes of adopting 3-year-old Mercy James. "Many people say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister," she tells the country's Nation newspaper. Although her request is initially rejected, the country's Supreme Court eventually grants Madonna the right to adopt the orphan girl.
- 2010
Material Girls
Madonna ventures into the world of fashion with the launch of Material Girl – a juniors clothing line she designed for Macy's with her budding fashionista daughter Lourdes. "As we are working, I see her more as a creative person, as an artist," the singer says of her 13-year-old daughter. "Then every once in a while, I remembered that she is my daughter."
- 2011
On the Prowl
For her 53rd birthday, Madonna cozies up to – and kisses! – new beau, French break-dancer Brahim Zaibat, 24, in the Hamptons. The pair, who began dating last year after Zaibat performed at the launch of her Macy's clothing line, first stepped out together in Paris in June.
- 2012
Fantasy Football
Madonna gives a show-stopping 12-minute halftime show performance at Super Bowl XLVI between the victorious New York Giants and the New England Patriots. "This is a Midwesterner girl's dream," the 53-year-old singer says of the gig. "Over the 25 years of performing that I've done, I have never worked so hard or been so scrupulous or detail-oriented or freaked out as much maintaining my sanity."
Still Topping the Charts
Madonna scores her eighth No.1 album with MDNA, which sells 359,000 records in its first week, making it her fifth consecutive No. 1 album. Rolling Stone says MDNA is "Madonna's most explicit work," calling it "our lady's divorce album" with "7 out of 16 songs addressing her split [with ex-husband Guy Ritchie] directly."

Beyond the 5%+ dividend and the forward PE of 6, my primary reason for purchasing COP at these levels is in anticipation of further trashing of the currencies by the world central banks in their efforts to combat slowing growth, exploding debt, the crisis in Europe.In this environment of unprecedented currency devaluation, deficit spending and QE one wants to hold hard assets, such as oil. COP fits the bill.Throw in the unrest in key oil producing nations, COP makes a lot of sense!
What is your projected pps and eps to get to a pe of 6? I'm missing something.
May 19: S&P 2012 est.$6.28/ 12 mo.target= $73.p/e 8.1from Fidelitydo your own dd.
Right now the est EPS for 2013 is $6.69. Closing 5/25 PPS was $52.11.This makes the forward PE 7.8. The stock would have to go down to $40 to get a forward PE that low and the div would rise to 6.6%.
Does this dividend take into account the recent spin off?Regards,Mike
COP "claims" to "expect" the dividend to remain at $2.66/yr AFTER the spinoff and to "expect" an 80 cent dividend for Phillips IN ADDITION. Lots of "expectations".
that is why I added to my position today also, but realizing that oil is overpriced competitive to NG should the US decide to push the use of that type of energy through any tax incentive to develop networks. This is a bet on a better economy once we get a new president also.
Oil is going to stay relatively high due to continuing supply and demand issues. There are about 700 major oil fields in the world and most are in rapid decline. The world needs to find 5million barrels a day per year just to stay even due to the rapid degedation of these fields. Except for some shales, and some dep water, no new large fields have been found since Alaska in the 1970's. US uses about 18.5 million barrels a day down from 21.5; however, the growing nations have taken that at more. We could be energy selfsufficient and the price will still be hig due to world wide demand.Forget the govt for natural gas incentives. Industry is going to convert a lot of energy requirements dependent on oil to natural gas on their won due to $$ savings. It has already started and will start to speed up. Fleets are converting to CNG & LNG in the utility indusrty and long haul trucking. Garbage and things like Fedex also moving in that direction. Lots of nat gas stations going in. The oil & gas industry is converting their vehicles and the drill rigs to run on gas and there is still a push in the NE US to replace oil burners with gas heating systems.COP is also a huge producer of Natural gas.

Oct. 16, 1939
71 years ago
"I concluded on my arrival in the United States that is was good to be alive," Miss Florence Tye Jennison, of Bay City, told her family. She visited here this weekend after docking in New York after a hurried trip from Europe.
Miss Jennison, who is studying law in Chicago, went to Europe in late August to obtain background material on economic phases of life in Europe, including Scandinavian countries and Russian she had been there but a few days when the Polish crisis culminated in war
The Bay Cityan's most exciting experience occurred on an airplane flight from Copenhagen to Amsterdam. She was en route home, when the neutral Dutch plane in which she was riding, was fired upon by an unidentified hostile plane, killing one of her fellow passengers.
Of the American position of the present situation, Miss Jennison made the following observations as a result of her travels:
"Gustav Robert Lamm and the other passengers had a right to travel in safety on the neutral Dutch plane, unrestricted warfare, such as the shooting of this neutral place, indicates the extent to which the war had developed.
"Europe is becoming more and more progressive," Miss Jennison continued, "one sees both good things and bad things." Among the latter, she listed the "scarcity economy" being practiced in England is in the United States.
Of her studies in Russian, Miss Jennison said:
"The thing that impressed me about Russia was the fact that the whole community is being taught about the abuses of prejudice and superstition information which only a few in other countries are privileged to find out for themselves."
She spoke, too, of the remarkable economic achievements in Russia, of rents, "paid like gas bills," which total only between two and three percent of the income of the renters, the modernization and immense building program underway, and the busy, occupied air of the people who are evidently satisfied with their "program." Of Russian reaction to the Soviet-Nazi pact, which was revealed before her stay in Russia, she said the Russian people say they are "neither friends nor enemies" of Germany, in the current war, in other words, it's purely a business negotiation on the Russian part.

CBNNews.com - The Catholic church believes there is room for evolution and faith in God the creator, according to a top Vatican official.
Cardinal William Joseph Levada made his comments during a conference at the Vatican on evolution and Darwinism.
The conference marks the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of the Species."
"Our beliefs of course hold to the belief in creation," said Cardinal William Joseph Levada, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. "We believe that however creation has come about and evolved, that ultimately God is the creator of all things."
Levada went on to say the atheist notion that evolution proves there is no God is "absurd."
Vatican officials also say "intelligent design" is not science and that teaching it along side evolution in schools only creates confusion.

Kim Junsu To Release New Album This July
That's enough information to spazz till the next century, guys.
Okay, not really, but I am super excited for Junsu's album because he is one immensely talented man that deserves to be a soloist more than any other K-pop male singer I can think of. That said, I didn't enjoy Tarantallegra as much as I would have liked. However, I do think he might be able to do better the second time around, provided he actually gets better production/songs for his gorgeous voice. A girl can at least hope, right?
Now for me to fangirl over Junsu's freaking amazing voice (and musical acting skills) till July comes:
"The Shadows Grow Longer" from Elizabeth
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19ogd7cTWuk]
"Can't Avoid My Destiny" from Mozart
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xtt4gI_W88]
"Beautiful Thing"
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK_MW3FmcZM]
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UslqIyPZsic]
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-k5OoeLvmk]
Seoulmates, are you as ready as I am for Junsu's comeback? (I don't even need to ask. Of course all of you are.)
