Adding $2.5-$3million per month to book monthly without taking out policies is amazing. They are getting the growth we have waiting for while being able to under-write the quality we need to see from them as they promised. We will be moving over $7 tomorrow as a big volume increaser on the nasd, will draw and keep attention now. Seeking alpha has found us and so will many more in the near future. Congrats longs on waiting this out, it will be a nice ride to target of $12 and fun future CCs to look forward to. They were very confident in the call, real good to hear.Analysts were very happy with the responses as well.

Our local O'Neil cinemas has now officially lost my business. Bad enough they run more ads before a movie than anywhere else (something like 10 minutes worth now), but they have now taken the middle 1/3 of the theatre (AKA, the best seats) and reserved them for the crappy D-BOX system, so you have to sit either way high or way low if you don't pay the D-BOX extortion fees.

English Irish Mathematics (Min HB1 in LC or equivalent) Three other recognised subjects
Leaving Certificate
Passes in six subjects including those shown above, of which two must be minimum HC3
Irish Leaving Certificate
Minimum entry requirements
To matriculate on the results of the Leaving Certificate, a student must present at least six subjects selected according to course requirements (see Entry Requirements for each course) and must obtain grade C3, or better, in two recognised subjects on Higher Papers, and grade D3, or better, in the remaining four subjects on Ordinary or Higher Papers.
It is essential to have passed these six subjects. The two grade C3s, or better, on Higher Papers may be obtained in any of the recognised matriculation subjects. One grade E on a Higher Course at Leaving Certificate will be accepted if the candidate has, among their other subjects, grade C3 or higher on three Higher Papers, or at least one grade B3 and one grade C3 on Higher Papers. (This compensation rule does not currently apply to matriculation for Nursing courses.)
A student may normally combine the results of Leaving Certificate examinations obtained in different years for Matriculation Registration purposes. This concession applies to Matriculation Registration only; it does not apply to the calculation of points. However, it should be noted that students seeking to enter Medicine must meet the minimum entry requirements, including both Leaving Certificate points and
matriculation, in the same sitting of the Leaving Certificate.
Acceptable subjects
All subjects of the current Leaving Certificate examination are accepted for Matriculation Registration purposes, with the following exceptions and qualifications:
i. Gaeilge Bonnleibhéal (Irish Foundation Level) will not be accepted for Matriculation Registration purposes.
ii. Mathematics Ordinary Alternative/Foundation Level will be accepted for Matriculation Registration purposes, but not as a substitute for the subject Mathematics in courses for which the subject Mathematics is currently an entry requirement.
Leaving Certificate points are not awarded for either of these subjects.
Applicants presenting Leaving Certificate results from previous which include subjects no longer offered, should email firstname.lastname@example.com for advice with regard to acceptability and any exclusions which may apply.
Combination of subjects not permitted
The subject Physics and Chemistry may not be presented with either Physics or Chemistry.
Agricultural Economics may not be presented with Economics.
Classical Studies may not be presented with Latin or Greek.
Laboratory science subjects
The following subjects in the Irish Leaving Certificate are recognised laboratory science subjects:
Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Chemistry (Joint), Physics
For Science (DN200) only, Applied Mathematics or Geography may also be used as a laboratory science subject.
For Veterinary Nursing (DN310) only, Home Economics (Social & Scientific) may also be used as a laboratory science subject.
Assessment of applications
Admission to most undergraduate courses is extremely competitive. Entry is normally based on the points system for students presenting Irish Leaving Certificate examinations.
Minimum points requirements can change from year to year as they are dependent on demand for each course, as well as the number of places available.
For entry in 2016, 25 additional points will be awarded for a grade D3 or better in Leaving Certificate Honours Mathematics, where that subject is one of the six subjects being counted for points purposes.
Applicants performance in the Leaving Certificate examination is scored on their best results in no more than six individual subjects taken in the Leaving Certificate examination of any one year. This does not preclude an intending applicant from taking school-leaving examinations in two or more years. In this event, the choice of year for scoring purposes will be such as to ensure that each applicant is credited with the maximum possible score.
It is still possible to achieve matriculation and subject requirements over more than one year. However, for admission to Medicine, applicants must achieve both the required subject grades and the points in the same sitting.
The subjects and combinations of subjects not permitted for matriculation also apply when computing an applicants points score.
The points scores for Medicine are adjusted when combined with HPAT Ireland. Please see www.ucd.ie/myucd/hpat.
What is a mature applicant? A mature applicant is anyone who is at least 23 years of age on 1 January of the proposed year of entry and whose schoolleaving qualifications are insufficient for admission. For admission in September 2016, your ...
What is a mature applicant? A mature applicant is anyone who is at least 23 years of age on 1 January of the proposed year of entry and whose schoolleaving qualifications are insufficient for admission. For admission in September 2016, your date of birth must be on or before 1 January 1993.
How do I apply?
For all our full-time, and some of our part-time, undergraduate degree programmes, mature applicants must apply through the Central Applications Office (CAO). The application can be completed online at www.cao.ie.
For Arts, Social Science, Law, Agricultural Science and Science programmes, separate registration for the MSAP-Ireland assessment is required. Further information is available at the following link: http://msap-ie.acer.edu.au/
For the Medicine programme, separate registration for the HPAT-Ireland examination is required. Further information is available at the following link: http://www.hpat-ireland.acer.edu.au/
What should be included with my application?
Mature applicants may need to provide supplementary information in addition to their CAO application form. Further information is available at www.ucd.ie/maturestudents.
Any supplementary information required (e.g. examination results, CV, personal statement) must be sent to the CAO with the completed application form. Those applying online (via www.cao.ie) must ensure that they forward supplementary information to the CAO immediately after submitting the online application.
The CAO Handbook contains useful advice regarding the application process. Applicants should read it carefully, taking particular note of the sections pertaining to mature student applications.
When should I apply?
The opening date for CAO applications is early November 2015. For most of our programmes the closing date is 1 February 2016. Completed CAO application forms and all supplementary information should be returned to the CAO by this date. (There is a reduced application fee for applications made prior to 20 January.) Some courses may accept late applications up to 1 May 2016 but this is subject to the availability of places. For dates of additional tests, please see page 197.
How are applications assessed?
All applications on the grounds of mature years received by the 1 February closing date are forwarded from the CAO to UCD. The relevant Programme Board then evaluates applications. Generally, the Programme Board is looking for evidence of academic ability, as well as interest in and aptitude for the programme for which you have applied. See www.ucd.ie/maturestudents for details of what is taken into account for each programme.
N.B. Applications submitted by 1 February are processed and forwarded to the relevant Programme Boards by mid-March. Applicants must ensure that all supporting documentation is submitted to the CAO within seven days of application.
When will I know the outcome of my application?
If youre offered a place youll receive an official offer from the CAO, usually in early July. However, we generally advise mature applicants of the decision in advance when the decisions are received from the Programme Board. Please note that, in accordance with CAO procedures, applicants will only be offered their highest successful preference so it is extremely important that you fill out your CAO choices in order of genuine preference. The CAO offer will state the date by which you must accept the place. Places that have not been accepted by that date will be offered to other applicants at a later stage. Consequently, mature applicants may receive an offer in later rounds. If you plan to be away from home between July and September, make sure to access the CAO online to check the status of your application or arrange for someone to deal with your post for you.
You must ensure that all relevant information is submitted
to the CAO. There is no separate UCD application form.
www.ucd.ie/maturestudents provides advice for personal statements. Your documents must arrive in the CAO within seven days of the submission of the online application.
Contact us with your queries
UCD Registry - Admissions is available to help with the application process. You can email your query to email@example.com. We also have dedicated time set aside for calls from mature applicants from October to April.

Hide-Why is this course for me?
If you enjoy studying Higher Level Mathematics for the Leaving Certificate or at A-Level and you have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the UCD BAFS (Hons) degree could be for you. It will prepare you for a professional career in the actuarial or financial professions, but it has also been designed to be broader and more diverse than most traditional programmes in actuarial science.
It takes a combination of strong analytical skills, business knowledge and understanding of human behaviour to design and manage programmes that control risk and guarantee sufficient funds for the insurance and pension sectors. For example, the actuary works out the risk (e.g. the likelihood of a fire happening) and calculates how much the customer should pay for insurance cover to ensure that the insurance company has sufficient funds to pay out if the incident occurs.
The Actuarial & Financial Studies course is full time and includes a mixture of lectures, tutorials and practical assignments.

Illness prompts closure of Vt. schoolMarch 08,2013
BRIDPORT - School has been been canceled for the rest of the week in Bridport after about 80 of the 130 students and staff either called in or went home sick.
The Vermont Health Department is investigating after the illnesses were reported Wednesday at the Bridport Central School. The district canceled school on Thursday and Friday while the building is sanitized.
Symptoms included diarrhea and vomiting and could be caused by the Norovirus, also known as stomach flu, infectious disease epidemiologist Bradley Tompkins told WCAX-TV (http://bit.ly/XRpb6r ) reported.
"This is certainly the environment where Norovirus can easily spread where there are children and a lot of touching of objects," Tompkins said.
Corey Pratt, owner of Pratt's Store, near the the preschool-through-sixth-grade school, said his wife and 11-year-old daughter were sick.
"To have that many in such a short period of time is scary and hopefully they can figure out what the problem is," he said.
The Health Department was testing samples from those who were sick to determine if Norovirus was the cause.

Almost 40 years ago, my wife and I bought our first home. As a wet-behind-the-ears Ph.D. economist, I wanted to impress my wife with my knowledge of real estate by stating the "iron law of real estate."
I confidently explained the "law" to her this way. "With a limited budget, people who value space, like square footage, over accessibility to work, shopping and other amenities, buy a home farther out.
One thing I've noticed in my three years here is few things generate a buzz like the prospect of a new chain restaurant coming to the area.

Randy Shaw: While progressives debate whether President Obama could have used his "bully pulpit" to overcome GOP opposition to reviving the nation's economy, let's accept that in 2013-14 activists can more effectively address economic justice measures at the state level.
What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Kumbaya?
Michael Sigman: In the heat of the 2008 presidential race, the popular conservative blog Red State lambasted candidate Barack Obama's remarks during a Berlin appearance as a "Kumbaya speech" filled with "nothing but platitudes and leftist, and multicultural, rah-rah."
Will Obama Administration Now Go After Massive Mortgage Banking Frauds?
Ellen Brown: In his State of the Union, President Obama announced that he would be creating a mortgage crisis unit to investigate wrongdoing related to real estate lending.
State of the Union: The Only Time Congress Deals In Virtual Reality
Anthony Samad: President Barack Obama laid out the reality of our nation, his accomplishments despite obstruction, in front of Congress and the nation. He did it in real time, in virtual reality, in jaw-dropping fashion.
How Obama Can Win Big
Brent Budowsky: Obama 2.0 is singing on key to the real America, talking about matters they care about, battling for policies that will better their lives, championing the American notion of fair play and taking to voters a narrative that is clear, consistent and compelling.
A Government Overwhelmed by Corporate Money
Robert Reich: American business won't and can't lead the way to more and better jobs in the United States. First, the private sector is increasingly global, with less and less stake in America. Second, it's driven by the necessity of creating profits, not better jobs.
Blacks and Obama
Sharon Kyle: Even though blacks in America are suffering more than most during this economic crisis, they are least likely to complain that the Obama administration policies are not benefiting them.
Channeling Reagan, Obama Moves to Slash Programs for Urban Poor
Randy Shaw: The Obama Administration honored Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday on February 6 by proposing steep cuts to two of the leading programs for the urban poor: community service grants and community development block grants (CDBG).
Why This Is Our Time
Anthony Samad: On education, immigration, the green environment, and of course, jobs, President Obama helped even Republicans understand that the only way the country was going to move ahead was, together.
Filibuster Reform Dies a Quiet Death
Paul Hogarth: By a slim vote of 46-49 on Thursday, the U.S. Senate defeated a proposal by Jeff Merkley (D-OR) to actually require filibusters (as opposed to mere filibuster threats) before a 60-vote threshold is needed to end debate.
Obama's Progressive Enablers
Randy Shaw: It's painful to remember that Barack Obama ran against Hillary Clinton by arguing that the Clinton presidency had not been as transformative as Ronald Reagan's, and that he would go beyond small reforms to bring Change We Can Believe In.
Solar Peace, or Blood for Oil: The Need to Broaden the Peace Movement
Tom Hayden: In his State of the Union address, President Obama opened a door through which the peace, labor and environmental movements should march, towards an energy future not dependent on resource wars.
State of the Union Address 2011 – Full Video and Transcript
You can watch President Obama's State of the Union Address, in its entirety and read the full transcript here. The president began by introducing the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. He then went on to talk about the tragedy in Tucson, pointing out that Representative Gabrielle Giffords' seat was empty.

You were pretty enthusiastic when you first started studying but as the exam draws nearer you are starting to feel "a sense of dread." Maybe even overwhelm?
Maybe you are one of the people who is:
- Not sure if you are prepared for the pass or fail exam (70% correct minimum!)
- Having a hard time managing your study time
- Wondering if you will finish in the allotted 5 and a half hours

Guess what… I was there once before just like you. I remember a time when I was in overwhelm in a hotel room with the test looming just days in the future. I had to pass the test. My job depended on it. Believe me, I feel your pain!
Maybe this is your first time taking the CPC® exam. Maybe you have failed before and this is your second or third time trying to get certified. Either way, you are desperate for any method that you could use to improve your chances of passing the medical coding exam. Well, I have good news…

I have taken and passed many of the board exams including: CPC®, CPC®-I, CPC®-H, CCS-P, CCS, RCC and OTR.
I started my career in medical coding when I ran my own successful rehab practice in New Jersey that at it's zenith served over 17 long term care facilities with 26 therapists, aides and support staff. My company was approved by Medicare and billed over $1.6 Million annually with less than a .06% rejection rate — unheard of in the rehab industry. The reason for this success was making sure my company billed based on source documentation and provided ongoing training to my therapists regarding proper coding. So believe me- I know about coding!
I have a unique way of teaching myself new concepts and I share that with my students. So they "get it". As fast as possible. Because medical coding demands that we stay current on changes in medical coding billing. So let me tell you…
There is a solution to CPC® exam overwhelm.
You see, it doesn't have to be that hard. You don't need to stress. After all, the exam is open book right? You just need to get organized, focus on whats important to pass the test… and don't sweat the small stuff!
There is an easier way! Let me explain…

The Birth of "Medical Coding Blitz Videos"
I have been teaching medical coding in a full time or part time capacity since 1999. Back in the day I took all the certification exams so that my students could see that I felt their pain and knew what they were going to be going through. This helped me to understand the format of the exams and prepare my students for what was going to be covered in the exam.
But my students wanted more. A few years ago while I was teaching a longer CPC® traing class, my students pleaded "Help us get ready for next weeks exam!" So we reviewed the whole CPC® training program in two days. And that's how the Blitz Videos were born.
For over 11 years now I have been teaching this review program- with many students successfully passing their CPC® exam after viewing my videos.
Will These Videos Help Me Pass the CPC® Exam?
This program works. It's worked for hundreds of people. But don't take my word for it. Here's just some of the testimonials I have received from some of the happy students who have purchased my CPC® Exam preparation Videos over the last few years:
"I failed two times… then bought your videos"
"At age 49, I started to go back to school in a MBC program, Graduated at age 50 with high honors, and valedictorian…. I attended an alumni meeting a year later, and the MBC Program Director hired me to teach the MBC Externship Program…. I had to become CPC® certified within months to keep employment there. I failed the first time, couldn't finish in the 5-1/2 hours allotted then.
Failed the second time by the skin of my teeth- 69. And then restudied, restudied and bought your Videos, which I viewed a few times.
Going through the CPT® book and highlighting guidelines and all those tips made the exam go smoother. I took the exam, passed and incredibly finished in 4-1/2 hours. That's a record for me. Yes, it cost me again to pay for the exam but I have no regrets whatsoever. Your videos helped me tremendously the 3rd time around and I just wanted to say thanks to you. 3 Times was a charm for me. 🙂 NEVER GIVE UP. Keep up the great work. You are awesome, you teach from your heart and your tips are EXCELLENT.

For the second time this week, the Aiken High School boys' basketball team staved off a late rally from a Region 5-AAAA opponent to persevere for a clutch victory.
After edging White Knoll earlier in the week, the Hornets needed to go to overtime before they dispatched Dutch Fork – prevailing at home 57-53.
"This has been playoff basketball this week," Aiken head coach Tony Harrell said after his team improved to 11-5 on the season, and remain tied with North Augusta for first place in the region with a 2-0 record. "In this region, it's a marathon, and we've got 10 long games. I'm thankful to be 2-0."
The Hornets got to 2-0 with a strong defensive effort, much needed perimeter shooting and some clutch plays. Against Dutch Fork (10-6, 1-1), they faced a bigger team with an abundance of good athletes who are able to play a physical style. Those were factors in a slow start for Aiken, which trailed by as many as seven points in the first quarter.
But the long-range shooting of Deon Hicks kept the score from getting out of reach, setting up a second-quarter surge for the home team. Aiken, which had been using a full-court, man-to-man defense from the start ,added the wrinkle of half-court traps in the second quarter to make the Silver Foxes uncomfortable. The strategy worked, as Dutch Fork fell out of rhythm on offense, unable to exploit their size advantage by feeding their big in the low post because the Hornet defenders were harassing them and forcing them to rush.
"The trap forced them into tough decisions," Harrell said as his squad turned a five-point deficit into a five-point advantage at halftime.
The pace of play slowed down in the third quarter, as both defenses dominated the action. Dutch Fork packed the lane with their 3-2 zone, making it hard for the Aiken perimeter players to initiate anything off the dribble or pass the ball inside. Aiken was plagued by turnovers throughout the game, especially when the action bogged down and the players might have tried to hard to force something to happen.
In spite of the lackluster scoring, Aiken maintained the lead until midway through the fourth quarter when the Silver Foxes hit back-to-back 3-pointers on consecutive possessions to take a 45-42 edge. The lead was short lived as Hicks responded with one of his five made 3-pointers, tying the score with 2:33 to play. Hicks was a steadying force for the Hornets throughout the game, and remained calm when things looked like they could become frantic. He finished with a game-best 18 points.
"He's so mentally tough," Harrell said of his fifth-year senior who's playing because he was granted a hardship year for the season he sat out as he overcame leukemia. "With all he's been through, nothing fazes him. He's done a really good job."
After Dramel Coleman fouled out with just six points, Hicks helped compensate for the loss of one of Aiken's best players. Down by a point, he made a steal and started a fast break that Megal Hill finished with a driving layup – giving the Hornets a slim lead with 50 seconds remaining. The score was tied when Dutch Fork center Freddie Poole hit one of two free throws with 37 seconds to play. Aiken held for the last shot, but couldn't get a clean attempt off, sending the game to overtime.
When the extra session began, Aiken got the ball and Hicks drilled another 3-pointer. What he started, Stacy Toole finished. Outsized by Poole (10 points), Sterling Thomas and Deion Frasier (15 points), Toole battled relentlessly in the paint throughout the game. It paid off as he scored Aiken's final five points – and the last four points of the game, breaking a 53-all tie. He hit a driving layup off a feed from Hicks with 15 seconds remaining and iced the game with a pair of free throws with just two ticks to play after a Hicks steal. Toole finished with 14 points.
"It was a hard-fought win. It's not the best we've played … but Stacy stepped up big and Deon made some huge plays," Harrell said. "We're learning how to win and learning how to win close games."
Aiken will be tested again when it returns to action on Tuesday at Lexington.
Dutch Fork (10-6, 1-1 Region 5-AAAA)—Jordan Davis 4 0-2 10, Bobby Irby 1 0-0 2, Watson Harris 5 2-4 12, Deion Frasier 6 0-0 15, Sterling Thomas 1 2-4 4, Freddie Poole 3 4-6 10. Totals: 20 8-16 53.

Friday night was a rematch of last year's Class AAAA Lower State championship game, but Dutch Fork was without the South Carolina Player of the Year, Alaina Coates. Although Coates is now a key cog for the Gamecock women's basketball team, her alma mater didn't need her patrolling the paint against Aiken, as the Lady Hornets continued struggling on offense in a 44-21 loss.
"It's tough. We've been struggling all year to score," Aiken head coach Aubrey Pompey said after his team fell to 4-11 on the season and 0-2 against Region 5-AAAA opponents. "The young ladies are playing hard, we're just not shooting with confidence."
The Silver Foxes (7-6, 2-0) led 12-4 after the first quarter, and gradually added to their advantage. Morgan Williams led Dutch Fork with 15 points and Sydney Shull posted another 10. But it didn't come easy as the Hornets played solid defense, delivering a performance that would've been good enough to win most games if scoring was so difficult.
"We've been in games, but I tell the girls, 'we can't shut them out,'" said Pompey, who won't do anything radical to try and help produce points. "Consistency is the only way. It can happen, they just have to get comfortable. They're doing the right things, they just have to bring it to the court."

Shop Tocca's full collection here!
I'm madly, desperately, unequivocally in love with Tocca's latest fragrance, Violette Eau de Parfum. Although I haven't had the privilege of going to Paris yet, I imagine this perfume sums up springtime in one of the most romantic cities in the world. Although I'm on the fence when it comes to 'florals,' this uber-picky girl couldn't help but fall in love with the soft notes of Italian Bergamot, African Violet and Creamy Cedarwood. Tocca's Violette evokes the whirlwind romance between a young soldier on leave and a young girl at the fragrance counter of Le Bon Marche in 1940's Paris. Ohhhhh, so frenchy so chic!

MSO program blends different sounds with shared roots
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra held a musical reunion of sorts Friday evening at the Marcus Center, performing music of Leonard Bernstein, Lukas Foss and Samuel Barber.
The three composers, who were trained within a relatively small window of time at the Curtis Institute of Music, wrote with distinct and disparate voices. Their music — programmed for a single concert and conducted by another Curtis alum, MSO associate conductor Francesco Lecce-Chong — was a fascinating look at the variety of style in American orchestral music of the 20th century. »Read Full Article

Companies fronted by Auckland businesswoman May Wang, which are buying dairy farms on behalf of Chinese firm Natural Dairy NZ, may have broken foreign investment laws with the purchase of four Crafar family farms, the Overseas Investment Office said yesterday.
The office said it had started an investigation into UBNZ Funds Management's purchase of the Crafar farms in Norsewood, Waitotara and Manawatu in February.
Once purchased, the farms were immediately transferred to UBNZ Assets Holdings, which is 20 per cent owned by Natural Dairy NZ.
The other 80 per cent is held in Ms Wang's name on behalf of other investors who have so far chosen to remain anonymous.
The OIO said the purpose of its investigation was to obtain detailed information about the purchases.
"An application for consent for the farm purchases has not been received," said investment office manager Annelies McClure.
The farms in question were deemed to contain sensitive land under the Overseas Investment Act.
"It is an offence for an overseas person or an associate to buy sensitive land without consent and significant penalties apply," said Ms McClure.
Ms Wang said she was confident the investigation would prove there was no breach of the act.
"As I am a New Zealand citizen and Natural Dairy only has a 20 per cent stake - less than the 25 per cent trigger point for an OIO application - the purchase completely conforms with the act," she said.
Natural Dairy itself has submitted a retrospective application for the purchase of the four farms with a further 25 farms as part of its $1.5 billion plans to develop a New Zealand-based dairy business to supply the Chinese market.
However, the OIO said last month it had returned that application to the company as further information was needed.
"And the correct fee had not been paid," said Ms McClure.

While the market has been under some pressure lately, there's a group of names that has fared pretty well. The cigarette names have held up a bit, led by international giant Philip Morris (NYSE:PM). Shares of Philip Morris are approaching three month highs, and have bounced more than 11% from their 52-week low.
However, it's time for investors to take a small step back. We already know that Philip Morris is going to have a down year in 2014 as the company invests in new products and takes a huge hit from currencies. While it is nice to see shares rebounding here, the rally may have gotten ahead of itself. Investors may be shifting towards safety and away from the momentum names for the moment, but if the momentum group comes back Philip Morris may be the first to suffer. Today, I'll discuss the latest news, discuss current quarterly and yearly expectations, and detail what Philip Morris investors need to do now.
Recent news:
I've gotten some questions lately on the most recent news involving Philip Morris and its production facilities. The first piece of news was that the company is closing its Australian cigarette plant after 60 years and shifting production to South Korea. As the article states, there are two reasons for this move. First, the cigarette market in the country has been declining for a decade. Second, high production costs and currencies are making exporting a losing business. Hopefully, by closing this facility, Philip Morris can reduce some of its currency risk. Remember, the company guided to a huge currency hit in 2014, more than double the size of 2013's impact.
The second piece of news is somewhat related, as the company will be stopping production at its factory in the Netherlands. Like the other move, European cigarette demand has come down, and the company doesn't see volume recovery as likely. Investors really should take this news in stride. We know cigarette volumes are declining a bit at present, so the company should cut some of its expenses at the same time. 2014 is supposed to be a down year for the company, and Philip Morris will be launching new reduced risk products later this year and into 2015. Taking some production out of the equation is the right move, but it shouldn't really change the long term picture. Now, let's take a look at some of the numbers as earnings season approaches for the space.
Current expectations:
When comparing Philip Morris to others in the space, I look at three other names: Lorillard (NYSE:LO), Altria (NYSE:MO), and Reynolds American (NYSE:RAI). The following table is one I've used in several articles for this industry. It shows current expected growth in terms of both earnings per share and revenues. These are the analyst estimates for 2014 and 2015, as well as a two-year total. I've also provided each company's dividend yield as another way to compare these names. The yellow highlight indicates the leader in that specific category. This is my first full update of these numbers since late February. A quick reminder on the Philip Morris numbers. These are analyst estimates. Philip Morris has guided to 6% to 8% currency neutral EPS growth in 2014, which takes out a $0.71 currency hit. Including currencies, Philip Morris guided to EPS of $5.02 to $5.12 in 2014, compared to $5.26 in 2013.
We have seen Philip Morris estimates creep up a little lately for both years. In terms of the near future, Q1 revenue estimates have risen from $6.94 billion to $7.00 billion in recent weeks, and EPS estimates are up a penny to $1.17. While you always like to see rising estimates, Q1 revenues are still expected to fall by 7.7% and EPS to drop from $1.29 to $1.17. Revenue and earnings decreases are expected to improve throughout the year, but 2014 is going to be a down year. That's one reason why I think this recent rally in the stock needs to be looked at with some caution.
Lorillard is still expected to be the two year leader, although Philip Morris is making a run for first place in 2015. Since my last update, Lorillard analysts have upped both their 2014 and 2015 EPS estimates. Altria and Reynolds are battling for third place in 2015, with Altria maintaining a slight advantage in 2014 due to the extra earnings growth and higher current dividend yield. Reynolds has seen its revenue estimates for both years decrease since my last update, with its 2015 EPS number coming down a penny. Altria has not seen any changes in estimates since my last full update.
As these stocks have moved, the dividend yield gap has narrowed a bit. In my February article, Reynolds had the highest yield and a 75 basis point advantage over Philip Morris. That gap has come down. Altria now has the highest dividend yield, and maintains a lead over Philip Morris that is less than 60 basis points.
Current valuations:
You could have the greatest company on earth, with great growth, dividends, buybacks, etc., but that doesn't mean it will be the best investment. Sometimes, it all comes down to valuations. If that "greatest company" is just too expensive, it might not be worth it. As those who follow me know, Philip Morris' valuation against the rest of these names is one item I've tracked extensively in the past. The following table shows valuation metrics for each company in this article, as of my last full update and now.
Anyone that has read my continuous coverage of Philip Morris knows that PM shares trade at a premium. Investors have been willing in the past to pay for a solid amount of growth and a sizable buyback. I've continued to track that premium, on both a price-to-sales and price-to-earnings basis, with the results found below (compared to my last full update).
There are some key points to make. Yes, since my last full update, the premium Philip Morris trades at has come down. However, the 2014 premiums have increased in the past few weeks. During March, I did a key questions for 2014 article for Philip Morris. At that article, the 2014 premiums stood at 14.79% for price to sales and 4.14% for price to earnings. Since that article was primarily focused on 2014, I did not do a 2015 calculation at that time. You're still paying a premium for Philip Morris in 2014, despite what's supposed to be a lackluster year. This is another reason why I'd wait for a pullback in shares before entering.
Overall analyst opinions:
I always like to look at what the professional Wall Street analysts think when it comes to the names in this space. The following table shows the average analyst rating, where a 1.0 is a strong buy and a 3.0 is a hold (a 5.0 would be a sell). The table also shows the average, or mean, price target currently, and the upside to that target from Tuesday's close. You can view Philip Morris' current analyst opinions here.
Every name has seen a ratings change since my late February article. Philip Morris and Lorillard have seen their numbers decrease by 0.1 (PM was at 2.4), which means analyst see them as a stronger buy. Altria's rating has increased by 0.1 (meaning a weaker buy), and Reynolds' rating is up by 0.2. Philip Morris has seen its average price target rise by 64 cents, with Lorillard's up by $1.68, Altria's down by $0.03, and Reynolds' down by $0.44. Philip Morris has the most upside to the average target, which has been the case in the majority of my updates. All of these names have seen their "upside" come down since late February, with Lorillard and Reynolds now trading above their average price targets.
Starting to meet some resistance:
I wanted to do a quick update on some technicals because they show the stock may be getting a little overheated in the short term. In the chart below, you can see the stock against its 50 and 200 day moving averages, as well as its bollinger bands.
(Source: Yahoo! Finance)
The first thing to note is that the 50 day has started to level off. I noted in the past that this moving average would be a level of resistance as long as the stock stayed below it. Once it broke above, which it recently did, this level should be support. Should shares start to head lower, a rising 50 day could be good for the stock. The second item you'll notice is that the stock is close to its upper bollinger band. This has been a level of resistance in the past, and shares usually pull back a little from it. Additionally, the stock is getting close to its 200 day moving average, which is still on the decline. I could see a little more upside to $85 perhaps, but it looks like the recent run is coming to an end at the moment.
Final thoughts:
Philip Morris shares have rallied recently, but investors shouldn't rush in just yet. This is still going to be a down year for the company, and we'll get the first set of results in the next few weeks. While I thought the fall from $91 to $75 was a bit much, I think the subsequent rally back to $84 has been a little too fast. I would like to see some solid financial results to support this rally, because if Q1 results don't come in great, shares probably head back to $80 or lower rather quickly.
So what should investors do here? Well, I wouldn't buy at current levels, but I wouldn't short this name either. I would let the stock calm down, and buy on the next pullback. I think a good starting range for buying is the 4.75% to 5.00% annual yield area. However, the company has already paid out the $0.94 quarterly dividend three times, meaning it should only be paid out once more. In my past articles, I've stated I'm targeting a raise to $1.00 per quarter later this year. At that rate, Philip Morris would pay out $3.94 over the next twelve months to shareholders. Using the yield numbers above, that gives us a range of $78.80 to $82.95, with a midpoint of $80.87. The midpoint should be a good number to follow, because the 50 day moving average is a little over $80 now and could get close to that midpoint value in the next couple of weeks.

Christmas can't be too far away when the eggnog bottle and the white, green and red cow wearing a wreath go up on the Coburg sign on Savannah Highway.
For about the past 14 years, Charles Roberts, vice president of Roberts and Sons Signs, has brought Christmas to the Charleston landmark.
"Yes, I know a lot of people pay attention to it," Roberts, 32, said.
He knows because a lot of motorists blow their horns, wave and yell out the window when they see him hauling the holiday cow and eggnog bottle by crane to its rotating platform.
Though the job makes passers-by smile, putting a 100-pound cow and about a 150-pound bottle on a platform about 8 feet above the ground is serious business. Roberts said he's usually so focused on completing the job safely and traffic moves so quickly that he doesn't pay attention to who's waving or what people are yelling. He just knows it's all friendly.
"I like it. Everybody likes the cow," he said.
The sign company has been linked to the Coburg Cow since 1959, when it designed and installed the three-dimensional model on Savannah Highway. The company's Web site, www.robsignco.com, even has a special link called "About The Cow" with a timeline of important bovine moments.
Roberts started working summers at the business at 3915 Savannah Highway on Johns Island when he was 14. It's a family business with his father, Fran, and brothers David and Darius.
Roberts started by cleaning the shop, but each year, he'd learn a little more. He graduated from St. Paul's Country Day School in Hollywood in 1994. That's when he took on the Coburg Cow duty.
Another company manufactures the cows, but Roberts has had to repair and repaint the cow, dubbed Bessie, after vandals defaced it. The company also designed and built the chocolate milk bottle that replaced the old chocolate milk carton. It took two people to lift the finished product, he said.
This year, Christmas Bessie and the eggnog went up earlier than usual, by the end of October, because eggnog was in the stores earlier, Roberts said. The sign company didn't have time to build the bottle from the ground up, but Roberts said they did all the painting and graphics on the eggnog bottle.
Roberts also swaps out the cow that stands on top of the Coburg Dairy building on Lacross Road in North Charleston.
Motorists probably will see Roberts back on Savannah Highway the first week of January, when he'll use the crane to remove Christmas Bessie and the eggnog bottle, and put brown-and-white Bessie and the chocolate milk bottle back in place.

Centrally located and yet have the feeling of privacy and close to the mountains.
This property far exceeded our expectations. This is a beautiful, well appointed cottage behind the main house, which is located in a neighborhood a few blocks from The Rose Bowl parade route, a mile or so from downtown "old" Pasadena, and 2.2 "safe" miles from the Rose Bowl stadium. Yes, we walked home from the game!! The owner was thoughtful and helpful, and made our stay so enjoyable. I KNOW we would stay here again.... it was fabulous!!
Quiet, private, secure, and very comfortable are 4 things to know about this rental. Our stay was several months and though new to Pasadena we felt quite at home. The guest house was well-equipped, spacious and modern in a cozy way.
The neighborhood is great for walks or bike riding and there is no shortage of restaurants and shopping a short drive away. The back deck and private yard make this a very liveable home away. We were sad to move on and highly recommend this for short or longer stays.

TORONTO -- The Indiana Pacers shook off the absence of some big-name players, while the Toronto Raptors couldn't overcome the loss of their best big man.
Mike Dunleavy matched his career high with 36 points, Kareem Rush added 23 and the Pacers beat the Raptors 122-111 on Friday night.
Troy Murphy scored 18 and Stephen Graham had 16 as the Pacers won for just the second time in their past seven games.
"Our guys showed the type of guts we needed them to show," Pacers coach Jim O'Brien said.
Already without forward Jermaine O'Neal and Jamaal Tinsley, both of whom have sore left knees, Indiana also had to make do without leading scorer and rebounder Danny Granger, who served a one-game suspension for striking Chicago's Andres Nocioni in the face on Wednesday.
The Pacers were also without forward Shawne Williams, who did not travel to Toronto. Williams left the team for personal reasons Wednesday when a man was arrested for murder after leaving Williams' Indianapolis home.
"We've dealt with that all year long," Dunleavy said of playing short-handed. "It seems like each game there's been somebody out, maybe more than one person in a couple of cases. It's something we're used to. This team will stick with it. We've had some tough times but we'll stay together and fight through it."
Toronto lost forward Chris Bosh late in the first quarter to a sore right knee. He finished with seven points and five rebounds.
"Hopefully it's not serious because we definitely need him, his inside presence," guard T.J. Ford said. "He's an All-Star, so we definitely need him, especially right now."
Andrea Bargnani had 27 points but fouled out with 1:42 remaining. Anthony Parker added 25 as Toronto's three-game winning streak ended. The Raptors have won five of seven.
Ford had 15 points, but only two in the second half, and Jose Calderon finished with 13 for Toronto.
Starting in place of Granger, Rush made his first four shots, including a pair of 3-pointers, as the Pacers opened a 26-15 lead with 3:53 left in the first.
"When shots are going in, everybody is a little more relaxed," Rush said. "We got a nice little lead up there, guys played a little bit freely and we just kept the pressure on."
Already trailing, Toronto took another hit when Bosh left with 2:23 remaining in the first. Bosh, who battled a sore left knee in the preseason, tweaked his right knee in Monday's win at Indianapolis and felt sore again following Wednesday's home win over Minnesota. When the pain persisted Friday, Bosh sat down to avoid further injury.
"I didn't play that well on defense," Bosh said. "I gave up some buckets I wouldn't usually give up. I didn't feel that I would be effective out there."
An MRI of Bosh's knee revealed no structural damage, only minor swelling, leaving Bosh optimistic that he'd be healthy for Toronto's coming road trip to Charlotte, Orlando and Miami.
"I think I know my body now," he said. "I've had things similar to this. I know if I take care of it, I'll be fine."
With Bosh out, Toronto went small, playing guards Calderon and Ford together for most of the second. Ford had 11 points in the quarter as the Raptors cut the deficit to 61-54 at the break.
Toronto kept coming in the third, closing to 74-73 on a 3-pointer from Parker. But after Travis Diener hit a jumper, Dunleavy scored Indiana's next 11 points as the Pacers took an 89-81 edge into the fourth.
"Mike got on a roll in that third quarter," Diener said. "They cut it to one and luckily for us they couldn't get over that hump."
Marquis Daniels finished with 12 points, while Diener had 10.
- The Raptors have hired former NBA coach John Lucas as a basketball development consultant for the remainder of the 2007-08 season. Lucas is not a member of the coaching staff, but will continue to perform conditioning work with Ford, who has been limited to 26 games this season because of injuries.

Hearts Full of Blood is a savvy and urbane play by a young writer that premiered in Chicago by The New Colony, a company of savvy and urbane young theater folks.
If you go
WHAT: Hearts Full of Blood by James AsmusWHEN: 8 p.m. Wednesday-Saturday; 7 p.m. Nov. 18WHERE: Threshold Theatre, 841/2 Society St.COST: $18 adults, $12 studentsMORE INFO: Tickets available online at whatifproductions.org. Call 793-1972.
And now its moving from the Windy City to the Holy City for its first offsite production. What If? Productions is mounting the show for a five-day run starting Wednesday at the Threshold Theatre, 84½ Society St.
Producing Artistic Director Kyle Barnette said ... well, he didnt say too much for fear of giving away the plot.
Its an interesting little play about sex, relationships and a marriage with a secret, is all hed share. So its a cliffhanger, a comedy and a tragedy all in one thing.
The group of 30-something friends sip cocktails, swap sex stories and discuss contemporary culture.
You need that balance of humor to really contrast the overwhelming twist and emotions that pour out of the show unexpectedly, actor Beth Curley said.
Barnette and Curley are joined onstage by fellow actors Tara Benton and Darryl LaPlante.
Playwright James Asmus worked with the Chicago-based The New Colony, which has an interesting link to Charleston, Barnette said.
Lots of their artists are College of Charleston graduates, including at least three founding members.
Asmus also authored 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, which had its first staging outside of Chicago last year when What If? Productions mounted the show in Charleston.
Part of the companys mission is to promote the works of new and emerging artists, Barnette said. Whats more, The New Colony provides a creative model he hopes to emulate.
What If? introduced its first Playwright Festival in July, after inviting writers in the Southeast to submit scripts. The winner, The Practice Child by Tyler Stuart, will be premiered by What If? at its second Playwright Festival next summer.
