Like much of the West, the Colorado River Basin that feeds Lake Mead is in the 16th year of drought.The stark white bathtub ring of mineral deposits encircles Lake Mead, evidence of water levels that are dropping at a rate of 1½ to 2 feet per month.

- Full Report:
(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on selected financial services institutions, focusing on: (1) the potential financial exposure faced by the federal government as a result of financial services institutions sponsored, in whole or in part, by the federal government; (2) the institutions sponsored, in whole or in part, by the federal government or corporations within the executive branch that engage in financial services activities; (3) the extent to which these institutions are subject to oversight mechanisms and controls, such as a safety and soundness regulator and coverage by various statutes that promote accountability and control; (4) the independence and authorities of any safety and soundness regulators for these financial services institutions; (5) general indicators of potential exposure that these financial services institutions pose to the federal government, such as the maximum amount of theoretical losses associated with an institution's credit or insurance activities; and (6) the self-reported readiness of these institutions and regulatory efforts to achieve year 2000 compliance.
GAO noted that: (1) it identified a total of 22 institutions that met the criteria of being independent corporations, sponsored in whole and in part by the federal government, or corporations within the executive branch and authorized to engage in activities of a financial nature; (2) the types of financial activities in which these institutions were authorized to engage fell into one or more of three basic categories: lending, insurance, and secondary markets; (3) the oversight mechanisms and controls that financial services institutions were subject to were related to their status as government-sponsored-enterprises or government corporations; (4) the six government-sponsored enterprises and one of the government corporations had federal safety and soundness regulators and were subject to external audits of their annual financial statements; (5) the independence of, regulatory authorities of, and fees charged by the six safety and soundness regulators of the nine institutions varied; (6) the safety and soundness regulators for the six government-sponsored enterprises generally had more regulatory authorities, such as enforcement and examination powers, than the regulators of the one government corporation and two other institutions; (7) the primary indicators that GAO obtained on the potential exposure posed by each of these financial services institutions to the federal government included total assets and liabilities, total commitments and contingencies, and explicit backing of the institution's liabilities, commitments, and contingencies by the federal government; (8) the institutions reported their state of readiness in achieving year 2000 compliance using five phases GAO described in its Year 2000 Assessment Guide; (9) most of the institutions reported that they had completed the awareness and assessment phases, which, according to the GAO assessment guide, should have been completed by the end of August 1997; (10) work in the other phases was either in process or not yet begun; and (11) in addition, the regulators reported various efforts under way to ensure that the regulated institutions would be ready for the year 2000 conversion.

Liz Candelaria may have to kneel to wash her hands in the pint-sized sink, but the 15 3-year-olds in her Head Start class find the sinks just right.
Candelaria and her students have settled into their new home at the Head Start Center in the Region 16 Education Service Center.
The Head Start classrooms are the first stage in a project to renovate the building at 1601 S. Cleveland St. and a former grocery store at Hillside and Bell streets.
ESC Executive Director Darrell Garrison said the completed classrooms displaced some offices, but represents the center's goals to provide more Head Start space.
The building has come back to its roots as a place for children's learning. It was converted from an elementary school to office and conference space when the service center opened in 1965.
Service center offices are cramped into the rest of the building, but will be moved to the Bell Street building when renovations are complete in late December.
Head Start offices are now at the center on 10th Avenue near Tee Anchor Avenue, but will be moved to the Cleveland Street building when the service center staff moves to the Bell Street building.
The Head Start Center serves 126 students in full- and half-day programs.
Center Manager Tammy Kerr said the new space allowed them to add a full-day program.
The center also has room to grow.
More students will be identified as eligible for Head Start, and the center has the classroom space to expand.
Candelaria said the rooms are bigger than those at the other Head Start facility on 10th Avenue. Counters are lowered and shelves, computers and toys are within reach.
"There's more room and with more room we can do more things," she said.
Region 16 provides educational support to Panhandle schools through teacher resources, training, adult literacy and Head Start.

About BeirutBeirut is the capital of Lebanon, and the most important city in the country. It is also known as one of the most multicultural cities in the whole Middle East, and one of the main gateways to the continent. It is a strategically-located city in national and international terms and boasts a great many historical remains that have lasted since Phoenician times along with large multinational buildings that give Beirut a cosmopolitan air, in sharp contrast with the rest of the country.
Beirut is protected by the Mediterranean Sea and by Mount Lebanon, which gives it a special character that defines the geography, lay-out and climate of the city. Its climate is warm throughout the whole year, but the high summer temperatures make it uncomfortable to stay too long in the city. Winter is the season with the highest rainfall, due to its location and its strong Mediterranean character.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Beirut is its tolerant attitude to religion. It is one of the most open-minded cities in the Middle East insofar as religion is concerned. Followers of the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim and Jewish faiths live together peacefully in Beirut. All this converts the city into a multicultural and diversified place in which the streets of Beirut are adorned with a wealth of different colours and traditions.
Visiting Beirut is like passing through the gateway to Lebanon, where gastronomy, religion and art are all ingredients that attract the most curious of visitors. However, all those who wish to explore the history and culture of this country in greater depth should not miss the opportunity to visit Anjar, where the ruined city of Umayyad stands, Baalbeck, an ancient city that has been declared a world heritage site, the ancient city of Byblos, the town of Deir el Qamar, the holy valley of Qadisha or the cedars of Arz Al Rab, the countrys most emblematic site. The cities of Beirut and Tripoli are not to be missed, since they are the two great cities in which the main trading and leisure activities take place and where the most important national museums can be found. Lebanon, a land that has not yet been explored in full, is definitely one of the best options for all those who adore the Middle East.

Hostel prices for basic hotel accommodations with a few nice freebies.
Budget-minded travelers can rejoice. This East Side hotel has single and double rates that rival those found at most of the city's hostels. And, oh happy day (and night), you won't find backpackers partying into the wee hours. Instead, you can count on a quiet, clean room. This hotel is popular with the staff at the nearby UN. The personnel is friendly, although it's often difficult to hear them through the thick glass wall that separates the front desk clerks from the guests. The rooms are decent enough, and include a sink and refrigerator. And, like all good budget hotels --- when will the pricey ones catch up? --- Wi-Fi is free. Still, this place is not what you'd want to call home for any extended period of time. Not all accommodations have private bathrooms, so make sure you specify in advance (and expect to pay more). There are complimentary laundry services on the premises.

The forces are gathering that could make for a serious debate next year about charging sales tax on web purchases.
I don't think Congress is going to pass an online sales tax bill this year. For one thing, there are many other pressing issues for lawmakers to take up in the few months left before they effectively call it quits in early October to run for reelection. For another, I don't see many House members wanting to go before the voters having just supported an extension of sales tax to online purchases.
But that doesn't mean yesterday's introduction of the so-called Main Street Fairness Act can be brushed aside by online retailers. My estimation is that the political forces are coming together to bring this question to a head in Congress, where it belongs (as opposed to being taken up one by one by the states, as we've seen happen in the past year.)
Retail chains have long lobbied for all online purchases to be subject to sales tax, because the big chains have stores in just about every state and thus have to collect sales tax on items they sell from their web sites. (The Supreme Court has ruled that only retailers with a physical presence in a state, such as a store or warehouse, can be required to collect and remit sales taxes.) Since the chains have to charge consumers sales tax, they know they are at a disadvantage in competing with web-only retailers that don't charge tax.
But now the retail chains have been joined by state governments that are billions short of balancing their budgets as a result of the recession-induced plunge in tax revenue of all kinds. The Obama administration can't be happy with all the layoffs in state government and service cutbacks. Just as one example, Detroit recently closed 77 parks to save money. That doesn't sound like the kind of hope millions of Americans were looking for when they voted for Obama.
I'm betting there will be a serious debate in Congress over passing an online sales tax bill in 2011, after the midterm elections and more than a year before the next presidential election. Meanwhile, here at Internet Retailer we're trying to figure out whether adding sales tax to an online purchase makes much difference in whether consumers buy. We'll be digging into real data, and reporting on what we find in an article by Paul Demery in the August issue of Internet Retailer magazine.

Bet You Didn't Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of "The Family That Preys"
When it comes to Tyler Perry films, The Family That Preys is one of, if not my all time favorite. It stars some A-list actors, the story is complex without leaving any loose ends and it was one of the few Tyler Perry movies that wasn't based off of his stage plays. If you've seen the movie, I doubt you've forgotten the plot or that pivotal moment with Sanaa Lathan and Rockmond Dunbar over that counter top. You remember, but check out these behind the scenes secrets.

About 1,000 Southwestern Public Service Co. customers in the Texas Panhandle still had no electric power late Thursday.
Outages include fewer than 1,000 in Pampa, and scattered outages were reported in Borger and homes and businesses in Amarillo.
However, scattered new outages continue, said SPS spokesman Ken Vaughn. Prompted by gushes of wind, some already ice-damaged tree branches are falling into power lines, he said.
The storm damaged some electric boxes and connectors attached to individual homes and businesses. In most cases, the power still works, but the situation is dangerous, and homeowners are responsible for that type of repair, Vaughn said.
"We can't fix that," he said.
Last week's storm turned out the lights to 50,000 homes and businesses - about 30 percent of all SPS customers in the Panhandle.
"Some of these customers were without power for only a few minutes; others have been without power for days," Vaughn said.
SPS answers calls 24 hours a day at 1-800-750-2520, Vaughn said.

Maximizing the value of Disney Vacation Club
Previously, I wrote about various uses of Disney Vacation Club points in order to demonstrate the great variety of location and length of stays available at similar point levels. Along those lines, we're going to take a look at the best way to maximize the value of a Disney Vacation Club membership. Whether you're already a member, or just thinking about becoming a member, here are ways to leverage Disney Vacation Club for maximum touring enjoyment.
- Lower your initial point investment: No matter how many points you own, the perks are the same. So don't be afraid to scrimp on that initial purchase of Disney Vacation Club points. Currently, the minimum buy-in from Disney is 100 points. You can also start with even fewer points by looking to the resale market, where points go for much less. One caveat to buying a DVC contract from a resale broker: The points cannot be used destinations in The Concierge Collection, The Adventurer Collection and The Disney Collection. But in general, these uses –which include cruises, Adventures By Disney and non-DVC Disney resorts — are not the most economical use of points. If your primary concern is value, you're going to be using your points for DVC resorts only. A lower number of points also means a lower amount of maintenance fees you're paying out each year. Of course, as many DVC members can tell you, "add-on-itus" is a real thing. It may not be long before you're in the market for additional DVC points. On the other side of the coin, if you decide that DVC doesn't work for you, a smaller contract is easier to sell on the resale market than a larger contract.

Disneyland Resort Sees Pricing Increase in Annual Passes
Disney is on a roll, because not only does Walt Disney World have a new pricing structure for its Annual Passes beginning this morning, but Disneyland Resort does as well. It appears that there were some major changes that occurred with this restructuring, so because things like this can be confusing, let's take a closer look.
With this new change, there appear to be three major passes for Disneyland Guests to choose from. These new Annual Passes are the Disney Signature Plus Passport, the Disney Signature Passport, and the Disney Deluxe Passport.
The Disney Signature Plus Passport costs $1,049.00 for ages 3 and up and includes admission to the two theme parks every day of the year, including Park Hopping. Guests will also get theme park parking, the new ability to download Disney PhotoPass photos, special offers for stays at Disney Resort hotels and valuable discounts on dining, merchandise, recreation and tours.

This morning, in a surprise twist, Walt Disney World Annual Passes have a new pricing structure. The structure can be confusing, so let's take a closer look.
For regular Walt Disney World passes, there is now the Deluxe Platinum Pass and the Disney Platinum Pass.
The Deluxe Platinum Pass will cost $829.00 ages 3 and up and gives Guests one year of admission to all four Walt Disney World theme parks and the ability to Park Hop. Plus Guests will get theme park parking and admission to Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, special offers for stays at Disney Resort hotels, and valuable discounts on dining, merchandise, recreation and tours are also included. Of course the biggest change is that now Annual Passes include the ability to download Disney PhotoPass photos and videos as part of their pass.

Walt Disney World Annual Pass: Not Just For Locals
If you're going to Walt Disney World for a once in a lifetime trip, or even a once-a-year trip, it has probably never occurred to you to get an Annual Pass. Honestly, why would you? Those things are expensive and are only appropriate for locals that go regularly, right? Well, sometimes you have to spend money to save money, and believe it or not, a Walt Disney World Annual Pass can pay for itself and then some even if you only intend to go once in your entire life! How? Find out after the jump!

Offsite Options: Is a Disney World Annual Pass Worth It?
I have a confession to make: I stay offsite when I visit Walt Disney World. I know, I know. Go back and re-read my previous articles here on TouringPlans and wonder how you ever could have believed anything I said. While you do that, however, I'll address Walt Disney World Annual Pass Savings, especially for those staying offsite.
The Disney World Annual Pass certainly seems to come at a substantially higher cost than other ticket options. If we view the passes at face value, then this is an accurate conclusion – an annual pass does cost more than any other pass, even a 10-Day Park Hopper. You may think this means you have to visit the parks at least more than 10 days to get your money's worth out of an Annual Pass.
The problem with this reasoning is that there is so much more to everything Disney than face value, and having at least one Annual Pass for your party can be very valuable, especially for offsite guests.
Before we get into the details, I do want to warn you that there is no easy answer to the question of whether or not an Annual Pass is a good value for a particular party's Walt Disney World trip. In fact, the analysis will require planning, and DUN DUN DUN: math.
Shocking Savings of a Universal Orlando Annual Pass
We have been vacationing to Florida for the past seventeen years; visiting Universal Orlando Resort on each trip. During this time, it had never occurred to me to purchase an annual pass. After all, annual passes are more for those people who live close and can visit many times in the same year, right? I couldn't have been more wrong.
It wasn't until recently that I discovered the potential savings of purchasing an annual pass for Universal. The annual passes can be a money saving option for people visiting as few as two days. Not only do you get unlimited day passes to the parks, but you also get free parking, discounts on food, merchandise, admission and special event tickets, and onsite hotel discounts.
FastPass+ Tips for Annual Pass Vouchers and Frozen Meet and Greet
As I've detailed in my recent blog posts, navigating Walt Disney World now that FastPass+ has fully rolled out for Annual Passholders is a whole new adventure that seems to evolve on a daily basis. Here are some updated FastPass+ tips on two of the hottest topics among users of My Disney Experience and the associated MyMagic+ programs: Annual Pass vouchers and the new Frozen meet and greet.
FastPass+ Tips for Annual Pass Vouchers
One of the most frequently asked questions in the comments to my recent blog posts has been if Annual Pass vouchers that have not yet been activated can be tied to a My Disney Experience account for FastPass+ access. This is important to guests who wish to purchase an annual pass in advance of their visit to make FastPass+ reservations without having the 365-day timer on their ticket start ticking until their arrival. Multiple readers have reported inputing their voucher number as a linked admission pass in My Disney Experience, and being unsuccessful in attempts to then make FastPass+ reservations.
Adventures at Epcot with Walt Disney World Annual Passholder Advance FastPass+
Walt Disney World regulars rejoiced last week, as the rollout of advance reservation FastPass+ features finally reached all WDW annual passholders. That means that all Disney World annual passholders should be able to access the My Disney Experience website or mobile app and make FastPass+ bookings up to 30 days ahead of time. Previously, I shared my experiences using FastPass+ as an annual passholder making same-day reservations using in-park kiosks, as off-site guests still must do (at least for now). Now, I'm going to detail my personal adventures with week #1 of Annual Passholder advance FastPass+ reservations.
Getting Started with Annual Passholder Advance FastPass+
First of all, if you haven't already, log into MyDisneyExperience.com and set up an account. Be sure to link your account to your valid annual pass using the ID number on the back of your pass, or voucher number if you have not yet redeemed an online purchase.
Next, visit the Magic Band page to customize your RFID wristband. You can select a color and name, verify your shipping address, and receive confirmation that your order has been received.
According to the webpage, Magic Bands should start shipping to annual passholders shortly.
Until your Magic Band arrives, you can continue to use your RFID-enabled credit-card-sized annual pass to enter the parks and activate FastPass+ sensors.
If you carry a smartphone in the parks, be sure to download the Apple or Android app. The iPad app is probably the most efficient platform for scheduling and adjusting FastPass+ reservations, but the website and phone apps work fairly well.

Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Reopening March 17
The wildest ride in the wilderness will ride again a little sooner than expected, as the Disney Parks Blog has announced Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopening on March 17. The iconic Frontierland E-Ticket has been down since January 2013 for an epically extended refurbishment, but will resume delighting Disneyland riders ahead of the previously-published April return.
The revamped ride will sport a brand new track (following the same course as the original), rebuilt Rainbow Ridge buildings (again, reconstructed to resemble the rotted originals), and new lighting and sound effects. Most notably, the beloved dynamite-chewing goat is rumored to feature an explosive new digital projection found on the roller-coaster's third lift hill, formerly the site of an unconvincing earthquake effect.
Disneyland Annual Passholder Sing Along Under the Stars Events Start Feb 5
Drive-in movie theaters are sadly a distant memory in most of America, and the majority of us can't jump on a Disney cruise just to watch a flick while floating in the pool. But this month, Disneyland Annual Passholders have a unique interactive opportunity to experience a Disney "second golden age" classic outdoors under the Anaheim night sky, thanks to February's Disneyland Annual Passholder Sing Along Under The Stars screenings at Frontierland's Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree.
Each week, a different animated musical film is shown, accompanied by hosted trivia and (of course) sing-along sections. Passholders even get free popcorn, coffee, and cocoa! The venue opens at 5:30 p.m., and the film starts at 6:30 p.m.. Space is limited, so secure a wristband by presenting your valid annual pass after 2 p.m. on the day of at Westward Ho! in Frontierland.
Here's the schedule:
- Beauty and the Beast: February 5 and 6, 2014
- The Little Mermaid: February 12 and 13, 2014
- Aladdin: February 19 and 20, 2014
- The Lion King: February 26, 2014
It's worth noting that events like these, which were formerly promoted under 2013's "Limited Time Magic" banner, seem to have outlived that marketing campaign. You can find all the fine print on the Disneyland website.

Trucks would take a tollDecember 06,2012
Trucks would take a toll
I was glad to see that the Summer Street truck route has been ended. I would suggest that if or when the issue resurfaces, there are at least two concerns that perhaps were not addressed in this recent consideration, or least I didnt see references to them in newspaper articles.
One: the additional pollutants from the diesel exhaust arising when trucks wait for two additional lights to change, along with the extra time needed to make up to four 90-degree turns. In particular, the Summer Street-Route 14 light has a very long cycle if one is going straight on Route 14. (I trust that that light will either be set to blinking or at least have its computerized cycle changed to an on-demand.)
Two: the necessity of having to resurface (rebuild?) Summer Street. If the truck route is reinstituted, I would expect that street surface would wear down rather quickly. After spending the sum of money thats been spent on North Main Street to create a heavy-wear surface, it seems less than wise to reroute the citys heaviest traffic to a street that was not built for it.

Name: Pandora Grace
What name you go by: Pandora, or even sometimes Dora.
Ethnic background: Australian, English
Place of birth: Oxford, Oxfordshire, England
Year of birth: 1989
Popularity of name: Pandora has never ranked in the top 1000
Meaning/origins of name: In Greek mythology Pandora was the first woman, and disobeyed the command of the Gods by opening a container. That "Pandora's box" released all the evils of mankind into the world.
Why did your parents choose this name for you? They were big fans of Greek mythology, and they thought that the name would be more usable than Aphrodite!
Does your family have any naming traditions? No
What names have people called you based on your name? Well, obviously people have insulted me for 'opening the box' I have also had a few Dora the explorer insults. By mistake people have called me Penny, Penelope, Flora, Nora and even Doreen
Do you like your name? Yes! I love the story behind my name. I have known millions of Susans and Jessica's in my lifetime and the only person I know with Pandora as a name.
Did you have times in your life where you felt differently about your name? Yes, I have always been surrounded with people who have either really common or just stuck up names such as Georgiania and Priscilla. So having Pandora makes me stick out.
Have you had difficulty with others understanding your name? Not really as the story is quite popular in modern culture. I have been called 'Panadora' before.
If you could change your name to anything, what would it be? I might add another name after Grace, which would probably be Anneliese.
Any stories about your name? In classical Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman on Earth. Zeus ordered Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, to create her, so he did—using water and Earth. The gods endowed her with many gifts: Athena clothed her, Aphrodite gave her beauty, and Hermes gave her speech. Blah blah.

Italy into Davis Cup quarters; ousts Argentina
Credit: The Associated Press
MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina — Italy reached the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup on Sunday when Fabio Fognini defeated Carlos Berlocq of Argentina to give Italy an unassailable 3-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
Fognini defeated Berlocq 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 in 3 hours, 38 minutes.
It was Italy's first victory over Argentina in Davis Cup play, and the loss ended Argentina's 12-year streak of reaching the quarterfinals.
"It was a perfect weekend," Fognini said. "We knew that Argentina was a tough team, but I was very focused mentally."
Italy took control on Saturday when doubles pair Fognini and Simone Bolelli defeated Argentina's Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zeballos.
Italy won its lone Davis Cup title in 1976. Argentina has never won and has lost four times in the final.
Argentina played the weekend matches without its top player Juan Martin del Potro, who is skipping the Davis Cup to concentrate on tour events.
Argentina's other top player David Nalbandian retired last year.

After reading reviews i was a bit concerned about sailing on the Grand May 18-25 to Alaska. I must say those negative reviews are surely only a matter of opinion. We had a balcony cabin on the Baja deck (B711) very quiet location and superb steward named Christian. The ship was in great shape for its age-as far as old carpet and rust that others spoke about-- I did not see it and the only place i noticed rust was around some of the pool areas. Granted the rooms are not the newest but they were comfy and clean-if you want new-pay the prices for the brand new ships.
Food was wonderful-if you don't like something you can order another entree, go to buffet, pizza place or even the grill for a burger but no need to feel like you will starve because people say the food is bad!
Entertainment consisted of Princess dancers, an illusionist and comedian-all of which kept us entertained. Elevators might be a bit busy but you can always take the steps for exercise.Of course you are going to have people who complain no matter what so you just have to smile and keep going but we had a wonderful time, great weather except for Ketchikan and did not let negative people ruin our trip!
We booked with Coastal Helicopters -- went over Glaciers and landed to do dog sledding.
Once in a lifetime experience.
Kept us entertained.
Since we booked with Chilkoot tours we were 2 of 5 people on a train car for 44 people-did afternoon seating and had beautiful weather. I always book independently as the service is so much better.

Hockey is all about style points.
OK, maybe that's not true, but it sure is fun to watch some of these elite athletes work magic with the puck. Whether in a shootout or a live game, hockey players have the ability to do things many consider impossible.
Then again, when you're on the ice as often as most of the players in the world, you learn a trick or two in your spare time.
Last week I took a look at some insane passes, and now, we will take a look at the best trick shot goals hockey has ever seen.

Amarin Set To Go After Expanded TG Market In Q4 2013! 58 commentsApr 23, 2013 2:08 PM | about stocks: AMRN
With FDA lifting the risk of outcomes study required for Anchor indication approval and locking in a target date early December 2013, I believe this sets the stage for strategic discussions to intensify as Amarin seeks to maximize shareholder value for Anchor indication and beyond. While NCE may still be an overhang, far greater of an overhang once AMRN launched Vascepa on its own was the risk that FDA would make AMRN wait to market Vascepa for the expanded Anchor indication with outcome results required. That is not the case and now any interested suitor would assume they can market against Anchor beginning end of the year. I would not want to be caught short within the next few months. More with a complete article that covers the following to come:
-sNDA approval and what it means for strategic options
-NCE/NME for dummies
-Vascepa scripts and what impact they have on company value

Steve thank you for all of your hard work and DD on AMRN. I just have to vent for a moment. I have held this stock for nearly 2 years and have nothing to show for it. No matter how good the news is this stock just sinks. I mean for God's sake we just got our snda approved today and we are down. WTF it makes no sense!!!!!!!! All the shorts that post stupid stuff and all the purposely misleading articles are actually working. They have zero creditability and zero science behind what they say and write but yet here we are sitting under $7 bucks. I don't know about you guys but I feel pretty stupid right about now. I hope to God that 2013 turns out to be a good year for it has been a horrible financial mess for long term AMRN investors. I am still long but disgusted!!!!!!
Steve can you see a scenario that bp buys amarin for lets say $28 a share, taking into account that anchor is approved in December, with provisions that if certain milestones are received (reduce it approved, sales numbers hit or exceed expectation etc) that further dollars per share are paid in the future. If this would be the case I could see a total return of well over $40 3 to 5 years from now...
I understand the frustration, I have some too. If we hit $14 my realtor is on speed dial, get it.
The fundamentals is all anyone need concern themselves with regarding Amarin and their future. Since the acceptance for filing of amr101 for the Marine NDA on November 25th, 2011, when the stock as trading at $6.65, those fundamentals have gotten substantially better. 17 months later upon acceptance of the sNDA the stock closes at what price? $6.65. You have to laugh. The shorts have had a tight stranglehold on Amarin but it's starting to weaken as the articles from the likes of Fartstein and that Quoth the Raven clown get increasingly more pathetic as the months role by.
People like Steve offer invaluable commentary on stocks like Amarin because he has no agenda unlike the short sellers. He is long based on the highly attractive fundamentals staring him in the face because he has done his homework. He acknowledges informed critique and intellegent bearish arguments (unlike the likes of Fartstein, Quoth the Ass Monkey etc) but the fact remains that the bullish arguments far outweigh any bearish one at this stage. Shorts are fast running out of ammunition now and the combo data by the end of June and/or NCE determination will be the beginning of the end of the short stranglehold.
I never said that. If it hits $14 we are going in the right direction. Wont sell for less than $19-21, but that's my own situation. FIrst round before Anchor my target was $11 and ended up holding until $16. All depends. I try to keep this separate of my research and analysis on the company.
steve, thx for all of your dd and articles, pleeeeese don't let A.F. get away with spreading manure around it stinks, looking forward to your next article, I firmly believe we hit a new pre approval high this year although i am deeply concerned over the up coming earnings report
At this point, all we can really do is speculate. Joe Zakrewski and CO have been very quiet and it seems that they will continue to be. Hopefully, we'll hear some news about ANCHOR and what their strategy is on the conference calls, but previously, that has not been the case. Getting the 3 paths scenario again is not good. Obviously, Amarin should leave all paths open for leverage, but they have to be more straightforward with shareholders/investors.
If they are talking to other companies, they cannot say anything due to confidentiality. if they aren't talking to other companies, they also cant say anything because those companies are potential competitors. my experience has always proven that 'quiet companies' are the ones to watch for something real - the blowhards with PR and hype (NEPT for example) are smoke and mirrors.
Amarin is not asking for anymore money and you know that - they have a structured debt instrument that does not dilute current investors. You can read any of their regulatory and financial filings to see this. The reason they did the creative investment is because they have no plans of marketing Anchor on their own and they (mgt) have been very verbal to this. Anchor will either be partnered (unlikely) or AMRN will be acquired. By the way, the collateral on the borrowed money is AMRN's IP...should tell you how strong it is.
Steve - any reason why we couldn't do some modeling with the current information, i.e weekly script growth at say a modest 7.5% growth throughout the rest of the year and then schedule that to show a top line revenue number at years end. I realize we don't have the information for bottom line figures but for top line we could host a variety of assumptions in spreadsheet form. Just an idea for an article.
Best wishes and thanks again for your contributions
Thanks for your continued comments. They are much appreciated.
Now that the FDA has accepted the Anchor filing, do you think any buyout will occur before the December acceptance date or after? I would think any BP would want to buy before so they can make their own plans to go to market with their people. What do you think?
Thanks again.
Ahhh....looks like someone did just that. From the IHUB board
Not_Quite_Pheidippides, contributorComments (405) | + Follow Following - UnfollowHey Pirate -- yes, that spreadsheet is out there and it's pretty interesting (fun to play with), but it isn't a crystal ball. So far the trajectory is remarkably smooth, but we'll never be able to agree on growth for at least one reason. At some point, growth must slow (even 1% growth would, at some point, result in more prescriptions than people on Earth). The big, big question is when that growth plateaus, and that depends on your read of the medicine and the market. Will it start to level off at 3,000 or 30,000 or 300,000 scripts per week??... that's the big question, to my mind.
Not Quite - No argument here. However given the nature of marketing and that "word of mouth" usually trumps other efforts, I see growth in the rate ( of scripts) coming soon. Preceeding this though there will have to be good results in practice that support what everyone has seen in the clinical data. Drs. who see good results will likely spread the word amongst their peers and the same goes for patients. Likely this will take at least one or more script cycles. I have been on Vascepa going on 3 months. I do blood work Tuesday of next week and look forward to seeing what it might have done for me in addition to the statin I take. My Dr., who prior to my mention of Vascepa, had never heard of it. Favorable results will force him to do his own DD. That kind of marketing is priceless. So yes, scripts will flatten out but IMO it won't be soon. AND yes the script rate of increase will be variable as will the number of scripts it is applied to so playing with numbers in excel can only do so much. Someone with knowledge in drug launches and drug lifecycle dynamics might be able to refine the DD process. Better minds than mine, for sure lol
Here is a nice article I found here on seeking alpha that supports a lot of what Steve says and is a great read.
Only one sentence into the article, and already the typical bs from this guy
Steve, I never said Amarin is asking for more money. What I did mention is that you have never addressed "Amarin's plea to raise the debt limit". As you would say, "you know that".
homebuilder_watcher, contributorComments (113) | + Follow Following - Unfollowjerryg. As someone who has worked in the m & a area at large public companies for over 20 years, your logic is flawed on buyout price. An acquiring company, when evaluating a target, values the company based on a variety of metrics including cash flow, etc. What the stock price is at the money is fairly irrelevant. If I am a large company looking to make a bid for AMRN, I will value the company, much like the analysts that cover ANRN have done. Doesn't matter what the stock price is because management will recommend to shareholders to vote against a big of $8 or $10 or $12 because the BOD will have to get a fairness opinion if a buyout offer comes and that fairness opinion is likely to line up with what analysts have valued the company at
Not_Quite_Pheidippides, contributorComments (405) | + Follow Following - UnfollowStephen -- I believe that is exactly why, in one argument, BP hasn't done anything yet. Little or no data on revenue & sales = no easy valuation method = no buyout. This isn't my argument, but if believe in the stodgy, conservative nature of big companies with aggrieved shareholders, it makes sense.
I wouldn't necessarily say that. I think sales are an integral part right now. Obviously sales aren't all of it, but BP wants to see if Vascepa sells well, which right now, it isn't. I'll give it more time, but it's been 3 months, so things better start picking up. More important than sales is market penetration, which can be to some degree demonstrated by scripts, so those need to start growing as well as how the efficiency/efficacy of Vascepa is, which based on clinical trial results is good. Additionally, we need more Tier 2 coverage to set us up for ANCHOR. Wall Street has not placed any emphasis yet on other supposed 'catalysts.' Although Amarin may be a bit different, large pharmaceutical companies usually value COs at least from what I've seen based on a combination of current revenue, potential revenue, and other things in the future, as well as their pipeline and such. Amarin's pipeline is limited to one drug - Vascepa - so there's a downside there, but it should do well. I do have to admit that the 'side-effect' profile is excellent for Amarin, which should greatly benefit it.
I'll reiterate, for the BO to happen, sales could go to zero on Marine indication and it doesn't matter. If you believe sales on Marine and the efforts directly by Amarin are part of the equation, you need to re-think what's going on here. The reason AMRN went alone was to buy time and get to Anchor for a higher asset $, not b/c they wanted to market it themselves and show big pharma how to do it. If you are reading into this that AMRN was given an offer before Marine launched and the offer was not acceptable, your read would be right.
I agree with you regarding Amarin going alone to buy time and such. I'm just stating that if Joe Zakrewsi wants his 'price'/what he thinks the CO is worth then at least I think, he'll have to get his share price back much higher for a buyout than the levels we are currently at, otherwise it would look like a partnership would be more viable, which I thought was one of the more unpopular options...
Do I agree with you that a $25+ BO is not happening at the $6-7 level, yes. Do I think AMRN will stay in this range much longer, no.
Steve, the only thing I see going on with BPs that leads me to a more "accelerated" scenario is that many of their product lines are hurting. The well documented cliffs that several are hanging on are eroding quickly. In some cases it's led to downgrades - both of PTs and credit ratings. Some BPs are launching into long range relationships that don't deliver saleable product for 3-4 years, if they pass qualification hurdles. They all need revenue streams that they can control and count on for years. We tend to look at things Amarin-centric because we're investors - but there's a world of pain going on in boardrooms across the industry. In my opinion suitors wait for NCE and combo clarity, but I see this coming sooner than 4th Quarter. So much for my crystal ball!
Home_Builder, I understand what you are saying and agree with the logic but it doesn't always happen according to "scripture". On top of that, what cash flow does AMRN have at the given moment? What metrics, as you put it, does AMRN have that will entice a company to plunk down a $25 bid. AMRN has drug that is supposed to sell billions but is having a hard time gaining traction with scripts!
Vascepa rep in my office today. Sales are getting brisk. MD acceptance higher as the word gets out. GSK reps badmouthing.
IMO the "market forces" wont dictate what happens to this company because in the end good medicine wins and the prescriptions will be what counts. I have to chuckle at some of the handwringing over market forces. If you know anything about cardiac risk, this drug will have a strong presence in the future, even without statins. Look at all the Type 2 diabetics who have an extremely high rate of hypertriglyceridemia. The potential for treatment is huge in that population alone.
johny; thanks for that piercing investigation in the critical matter of whether December late or early was in play. Of course I don't mean that ... is downside ammo so precious that a week or so at the end of the year constitutes your bear thesis ?
Lets just stop pretending that any "premium" buyout would materialize because of the monthly scripts and sales revenue generated by Marine indication and end the debate on how we get to the lofty BO numbers now by reading this:
AMRN receives FDA approval for Anchor = +$5-8
Premium on buyout based on future Anchor earnings +$$$...
See, the issue I have is what do we base future ANCHOR earnings off of if that's going to ultimately be important for BP? My point is that's why I keep on emphasizing that we need to see sales from the Marine indication over the next 6 months. Although, the Marine indication is only for people with TGs >500 mg/dL, I personally think it will show to a certain degree how well Vascepa is accepted by doctors as well as patients. I know you can make the argument that Amarin only has 275 sales reps, but please, that's more than enough to get this drug off the ground. Prescriptions need to grow at a faster pace than what they currently have been at least in this growth phase. I understand that it takes time for patients to transition from Lovaza to Vascepa and for word to get around, but, for example, we should start to see those 5k (?) samples of Vascepa kicking into the script count, which I haven't
Steve, I have heard no mention of Reduce - it interim results to be released in this quarter. I think you are confusing this with the statin combo results which the company stated would be released before middle of the year. This is very early data and will probably not have much of an effect on share price.
