U.S. large-cap banks will start reporting their quarterly results next week. Second-quarter results for this year are expected to be deeply impacted by the weakening U.S. economy, involvement of regulators, weakening capital markets, and the European debt crisis. However, some positive impact is expected from relatively healthy U.S. mortgage market activity.
Weakening Economy and the Fed's Involvement
The sluggish U.S. economy is not showing any signs of improvement for the financial sector. The economy is expected to grow by 2% in 2012. The Federal Reserve, in order to simulate growth, has extended "Operation Twist." Besides decreasing interest rates across the board, this operation is aimed at flattening the yield curve, so that corporations and home owners can borrow at cheap rates. Banks that are more sensitive to interest, and rely heavily on interest income, are the ones poised to feel the brunt of the damage. However, much depends on how much the Fed succeeds in flattening the yield curve. Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), the Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC), and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), are expected to be adversely affected by the Fed's actions. Qineqt's estimates show that Citigroup relies heavily on interest income, as over 70% of its revenue comes from interest income. Similarly, 57% of Bank of America's revenue comes from interest income, followed by Wells Fargo and JPMorgan, which each have exposed 50% of their revenue to interest income. Banks that will least be affected by the decreasing interest rates and flattening yield curve are Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), since their revenue is 24% and 18% exposed to interest income.
Weaker capital markets activity will affect Citigroup, Bank of America and JPMorgan.
These are volatile times with respect to capital market activity, where the risk of outsized losses runs high. S&P 500 trading volumes are on the lighter side as well. According to data released by Bloomberg, average daily U.S. trading volume for 2012 is till down 44% from its 2008 highs. Moody's, a premier American credit rating agency, trimmed credit ratings on June 31, 2012, for all U.S. banks with significant global capital market exposure. Consistent with our view, Moody's suggests that these banks will be adversely affected by the volatility risk of massive losses associated with the current weak capital market conditions. Among the five large-cap U.S. banks that received the cut, Bank of America received the least cut (one notch), while Morgan Stanley was the only bank that received a less-than-expected cut (two notch cut rather than the expected three). JPMorgan, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs all received a two-notch cut reflecting their relative exposures. These sluggish trends will have a direct adverse impact on the investment banking divisions of large-cap banks. Analysts at Credit Suisse view that the overall investment banking revenue for large-cap U.S. banks will drop by 16% QoQ, with Bank of America taking the largest hit of a 19% drop in its revenue accruing from investment banking.
Healthy Mortgage Banking Activity - Wells Fargo to Post Strongest Results
Healthy mortgage activity, represented by low mortgage rates, strong mortgage origination volumes, accelerated refinancing largely due to HARP, and increased gain on sale margins, are all encouraging trends for large-cap banks going forward.
Mortgage rates fell to record lows, providing home buyers an incentive to improve the recovering housing market. The 30-year mortgage rate plunged to 3.62%, as illustrated in the graph below.
Source: Ycharts
Strong mortgage origination volumes, as suggested by Mortgage Banking Association (MBA), are forecast to experience a 2.5% increase in mortgage originations in 2Q2012 to reach $372b. This increase is largely considered to be driven by purchase volumes (7%), and only 1% by refinancing volumes.
Both record-low mortgage rates and government sponsored programs like the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), which has allowed underwater mortgages to be refinanced at lower mortgage rates, have contributed to the increased refinancing activity. A 50% increase in mortgage refinancing has been witnessed since the last fall. Most of the demand is coming from underwater mortgages.
Source: Ycharts
The graph above shows how home prices in the U.S. have increased over the last two quarters. The U.S. home price, represented by the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, is at 138.55 as of July, up from June's 137.63. This improvement in prices will help banks increase gain on sales margins.
Banks that have the largest exposure to real estate markets are expected to benefit the most. Wells Fargo already has the largest share of 33% in mortgage originations in the U.S.
Rising expenses have been adding pressure on large-cap banks. Therefore, cost-cutting programs run by all major large-cap banks in the U.S. are going to play a key role in enhancing earnings for these banks in the coming quarters. BAC has initiated its company-wide cost cutting program named "New BAC," through which it aims to shed 30,000 consumer banking jobs over the next several quarters. It will also cut up to 400 positions in its corporate banking, investment banking, and trading and sales units. With the expected sale of its non-U.S. wealth management division, the bank will get rid of another 2,000 jobs. The bank reported $1.91b in expenses in 1Q2012. Owing to the success of this initiative, expenses are expected to be considerably less this quarter.
Similarly, Goldman Sachs was able to reduce its expenses by 14% to $6.77b, over last year's first quarter. Under its cost cutting initiative, the company shed 8% of its workforce during the last year. A continuation of such initiatives will enhance margins for the bank.
Wells Fargo's Project Compass is expected to result in cost savings of $1.5b for the bank, by the end of 2012. This company-wide cost cutting program is aimed at targeting non-interest income and boosting efficiency.
2Q2012 Estimates VS 1Q2012.
Bank of America Corp.
Bank of America is poised to be adversely impacted by the flattening of the yield curve. However, its cost cutting initiative under the New BAC program will partially offset the impact. The bank has a large exposure to the global capital market, which will also adversely affect its results. Consensus earnings estimates for Bank of America are at $0.16. The bank's total revenue is expected to decline by 14%-18% QoQ, primarily due to a decline in trading, investment banking and squeezed interest margins. The bank's trading revenue accruing from trading and investment banking is expected to decline by 30%- 34% and 18%-21% QoQ, respectively, due to reasons cited in the capital markets sections above. Net interest margin for the bank is anticipated to drop by 10-50 bps. The forecast tangible book value for the bank is $12.5 to $13.5 per share.
Wells Fargo & Company
When Wells Fargo reports its 2Q2012 results on July 13, 2012, it is expected to show strong growth due to its enormous exposure in the U.S. real estate markets, and favorable recent trends in housing. Its cost-cutting initiative, under Project Compass, will add further to 2Q2012 results. Analysts have a consensus estimate of $0.84 for Wells Fargo's EPS, on $21.8b of anticipated revenue. The 100bps improvement in revenue will be partially offset by the pressure on net interest margin, which will decline by 5-10bps due to reasons cited in the "Weakening Economy and the Fed's involvement" section above. An overall 8%-12% QoQ improvement in revenue accruing from the mortgage banking division of the bank is expected, due to reasons mentioned in the "Healthy Mortgage Banking Activity" section given above. A decline of 32%-36% in trading revenue, driven by reasons mentioned in the "Weaker Capital Markets Activity" section, is also expected.
Citigroup Inc.
Citigroup is expected to suffer a hit from the flattening of the yield curve, and a decrease in interest rates. Citigroup, with consensus EPS estimates decreasing by 14% QoQ to reach $0.92, is expected to post $19.85b in total revenue. Revenue accruing from the bank's securities and banking division are anticipated to drop by 25%-30% QoQ.
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
JPMorgan is anticipated to post $0.68 of EPS on revenue of $21.9b. Revenue from the trading segment are anticipated to decline by 30%-34% compared with 1Q2012. Projected fixed income and equity trading will be down by 34%-37% and 15%-25% respectively. Revenue accruing from investment banking will also be down by 13%-20%.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Preservation effort afoot
WELLSBURG – The Stone Chapel Church has stood between the unincorporated communities of McKinleyville and Franklin near the bank of Pierce's Run for more than 200 years.
The bell that once called children to school and the community to worship is still in working order, and services are still held at 2 p.m. Sundays – a tradition begun so farmers could finish their morning chores before church. However, the humble church, which lays claim to the title of the oldest stone church west of the Allegheny mountains, may soon be history.
One of its 200-year-old walls, on the building's north west side, has been water damaged beyond the tiny congregation's ability to repair and also threatens the electrical connection. The congregation, which now numbers less than 30, hopes to repair the damage and install a modern electrical connection. The repairs are beyond the scope of what the congregation's volunteer handymen have become accustomed to – painting, sealing cracks, installing installation, changing pumps and replacing valves.
"There are no blueprints or anything," said Terry Stewart, congregation member. "Who knows what you'll get into once you get into that wall. We'd like to have someone who specializes in restoring historical buildings to take a look at it."
Hunter, Cotey and Garey Wallace and Chad Biggs, the sons of Garey Wallace of Wellsburg, recently assisted in renovations to the church, repairing and painting the tin roof. The family is part of the congregation.
"We added the cross and crown, representing Christ as king, to honor our forefathers, the Revolutionary War veterans who built this stone temple by hand as a monument to this country's heritage and their belief in the hand of God," said Hunter Wallace. "To be a small part of preserving that history, a torch-bearer, a keeper of God's house, is a blessing in itself."
In an effort to preserve the church and its history, several congregation members have organized the Historical Stone Chapel Preservation Society, soliciting information, stories, documents, records or photographs in relation to the church's more than 200 years of local history. The society's stated purpose is to maintain and preserve the historical building and the memory of the men who built it, gather and preserve the historical record and ensure that the building and records are passed on to future generations.
The society meets at 1 p.m. the first Sunday of each month at the church, and, in addition to collecting information on the church's history, the group also hopes to somehow preserve the building. The group next meets today.
"We're trying to restore and preserve it for future generations," said Stewart. "It's a landmark of its own."
The group has sought the assistance of Brooke County Commissioner Tim Ennis and state Sen. Jack Yost, D-Wellsburg, in seeking the church's history and preserving the building.
"They were very interested and willing to help," said Stewart.
Stewart said the group would like to work with local colleges in exploring the Stone Chapel's significance to the early settlements in the area. West Liberty University professors have expressed an interest, and Madeline Jackson, a former pastor's daughter, has some documents she is willing to share with the group. At some later point, the preservation society may explore having the building placed on a list of historical structures, but stabilizing the building is the group's priority.
Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists have shared the building, and several Washington Pike churches have their roots in the little stone church, moving on to their own buildings as their congregation numbers surpassed its capacity.
Stone Chapel Church remains a nondemoninational church. The church once boasted more than 200 congregants, and, to accommodate those numbers, the building's square footage was more than doubled in 1964, using stones from the Wabash Bridge.
The church has never kept membership rolls, but Donny Eaton has been a member of the the church since childhood. He remembered several pastors, including Dewey Kemp and Marvin Platter Sr., both of whom served for more than 40 years, and Doradeen Perdue, who served for nearly a decade. Russell Buchanan is now the pastor.
Eaton, whose family has been the voluntary caretakers of the church for generations, inherited his caretaker duties from his uncle and aunt, Luther and Dora Wells.
"My aunt Dora went to school here," he said, adding she lived near Pierce's Run her entire life.
Eaton remembered one of his first jobs at the church as an 8-year-old was to arrive early on cold days and build a fire in the wood-burning stove that provided all the heat in the building as late as the mid-1950s.
Following Platter's retirement, Eaton and his wife Jan went to the Stone Chapel every Sunday and read the Bible to ensure the deed – which specified the building must be in use as a meeting house, house of worship or school – would not revert back to the original granters' heirs, meaning the church would be lost to the community.
The Stone Chapel was built around 1794 by Revolutionary War veterans who came west from Maryland. It was built to serve as a church, meeting house and school and replaced a log cabin erected at the site in 1791, which subsequently burned down.
The building was built by several prominent Brooke County families of the late 1700s and early 1800s, including the William Smith family, Edward Bozman family and Thomas Newton family, all of whom deeded the land on which the building stands in 1835 to be held in trust as long as it is in use by the public. William Smith originally came to the area, then called "West Augusta," as part of surveying party in the late 1780s or early 1790s led by Christopher Gist with the intention of founding a "14th colony."
Gist was recruited for his familiarity with the French language, because the earliest European settlers in the area were French or French-Canadian, according to Stewart.
William Smith later married and relocated to the area from Baltimore, accompanied by the forementioned and also the Green, McCreary and Hunter families. William Smith settled on what is now Genteel Ridge, and around the same time, the families of Thomas Cook, Nathaniel Fleming, James Barrah, William McClane, Benjamin Reed and the Rev. Dr. Joseph Doddridge and his brother Phillip Doddridge also settled in the Franklin area, according to an area history by Cornelius G. Reeves.
The Doddridge brothers were the sons of John Doddridge, who built Doddridge's Fort near Cross Creek in Independence, Pa., and of Mary Wells. Joseph Doddridge wrote a history of the area, "Notes on the Settlement and Indian Wars," and helped found Wellsburg's Christ Episcopal Church in 1792, according to the Brooke County Genealogy Society.
William Smith also helped build Wellsburg's Methodist Episcopal Church, and his son, Dr. Edward "Eddie" Smith, donated the land for the Franklin Methodist Church and Franklin Cemetery, where both men are buried.
Patrick Gass, a member of the 1804-1806 Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery Expedition, lived on Pierces Run and may have occasionally attended services there when the weather was too inclement to reach Wellsburg and his children may have attended school there. Gass published the first account of the expedition in 1807, "Gass's Journal of the Lewis and Clark Expedition." Congregation members are in contact with Gass' great-great-grandson, Eugene Gass, to better determine how Patrick Gass may have been involved with the building.
Other area families who possibly would have utilized the chapel as a meeting house, school and church included Hervey, Gist, Applegate, Ralston, Jamison, Rare, Amspoker, McAdoo, Wells, Marsh, Zogg, Churchman, Magee, Fowler, Glover, Hudson, McGuyre, Jones, Carman, Douglass, Herdner, Merryman, Scott, Carter, Cree, Miller, Buckley, Reeves, Green, Gregsby, Fisher, McConnell, George, Henderson, Hanna, Creacraft, McGee, Lee, Beall, Hinkson and Clayton, according to Reeves' history.
Pierce's Run was once a busy road, when Washington Pike was known as Baltimore Pike in the late 1700s and early 1800s, before the construction of the National Road, when those traveling to the Ohio Country in the West or to the then-bustling port town of Wellsburg would take Pierce's Run as an alternative to Painter's Hill, which was too steep for loaded wagons.
Anyone with information on the church they would like to share is asked to either attend a preservation society meeting, held at 1 p.m. the first Sunday of each month at the church, or to call Stewart at (304) 639-8021. The preservation society will meet today.
(Wallace-Minger can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.)

June 2014
I cannot believe that two whole seasons have passed since my last update here. Life has been filled with the many splendors of music all through this time. After concerts in Bangalore and Chennai in December and January, wonder in music became a mantra for me as I explored the many facets of it with colleague and vocalist David Harris in the new creation 'Song of Wonder' which premiered in April 2014. I am delighted that we will be able to bring 'Song of Wonder' to various cities and venues over the course of this year and the next. April also saw the Carnatic Star Festival in which I had the good fortune of performing in the presence of legend Dr Balamurali Krishna. It was an evening to cherish as I sat on stage after my performance watching the Maestro sing his concert. The month of May brought another memorable event - the visit of the great Vidwan Padma Bhushan Sangeeta Kalanidhi Shri TV Shankaranayaran to our school the Naadha Rasa Center for Music. My journey continues from the wonder Mantra to the Mantrapushpam from the Taithreeya Aranyakam (1.22) of Yajur Veda. My veena students, and I, will play this most famous Veda mantra to the chanting of the priests at the Hindu Society of Minnesota at the eighth Anniversary celebrations of the Hindu Society of Minnesota on June 7. July and August will bring me to Chennai, Kumbakonam and Coimbatore. I eagerly await the Wallajpet Venkatramana Bhaghavadhar celebrations in Kumbakonan in July. So long until the next time -take care. May your lives be filled with music in all her glory.

The Great Debate
Why Arab Spring made life better in Tunisia, failed everywhere else
Earlier this month, Tunisia's newly elected parliament cobbled together a coalition government led by a secular party that included its Islamist rivals, who had been democratically ousted from power. The new government, coming on the heels of a historic presidential election, a new constitution and the first democratic elections to be held during the Arab Spring, marks an astonishing democratic culmination in the birthplace of the movement. It has also proven hard to replicate.
from John Lloyd:
U.S. 'soft power' hits another hard reality in the Middle East
On Sunday, June 22, 1941, Winston Churchill's private secretary, John Colville, woke him with the news that Nazi Germany had invaded the Soviet Union. In a radio address that same evening, the British prime minister repeated his "consistent" opposition to communism, but said that "all this flashes away … the Russian danger is therefore our danger." In a later House of Commons debate, Churchill quipped -- "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."
Obama is picking his targets in Iraq and Syria while missing the point
"We are now living in what we might as well admit is the Age of Iraq," New York Times op-ed columnist David Brooks recently wrote. There, in the Land of the Two Rivers, he continued, the United States confronts the "core problem" of our era — "the interaction between failing secular governance and radical Islam."

Air battles rage over Dunkirk
Saturday, June 1, 1940 www.onwar.com
On the Western Front... Despite increased Luftwaffe attacks a total of 64,429 men are evacuated from Dunkirk. However, German planes sink four destroyers and damage five more as well as several of the Channel ferries and other ships, which form the backbone of the evacuation fleet. The RAF sends eight large patrols to give cover but most of the damage is done in the intervals between them. On the ground the Germans increase their efforts, breaking the defensive perimeter along the canals at Bergues and forcing retreats in other sectors as well. During the night the British authorities decide that the air attacks have made the evacuation too dangerous to continue by day.
In Norway... The British and French tell the Norwegians that they are about to begin their evacuation. They have delayed giving this information on the grounds of security but by doing so they have encouraged the Norwegians to openly resist the Germans, which can only be costly when the Allies leave.
June 1st, 1940
UNITED KINGDOM: RAF Bomber Command: 4 Group (Whitley). Bombing - Oil plants and marshalling yards - Hamburg, Osnabruck and Hamm. 102 Sqn. Eight aircraft to Hamburg. Weather filthy, primary not attacked. Two aircraft bombed alternatives.
London: This morning the BBC reported:
The Germans have suffered heavy losses near Abbeville. Several hundred German soldiers have been taken prisoner, and the Germans left behind considerable war material. The Allies have reconquered the area around Abbeville and crossed the Somme at one point. The disembarkation of British and French troops is continuing on English seaports. The majority of contingents of the northern Allied armies have been successfully transported to England. The troops who have stayed behind, are fighting on with undiminished courage.
FRANCE: As the Dunkirk evacuation continues under heavy air attack, destroyers HMS Keith, HMS Basilisk and HMS Havant and the French 'Le Foudroyant' are bombed and lost off the beaches. 64,429 men are evacuated (17,000 from the beaches, the rest from the mole in Dunkirk Harbour). The RAF sorties 8 large patrols over Dunkirk. But they decide that the air battles are becoming too dangerous for continued evacuation operations during daylight hours.
B class destroyer leader HMS Keith is suffers air attacks in the English Channel off Bray at 51 06 02 32E. Her steering is jammed, her engine room damaged and she lists to port. The Admiral transfers to MTB 102 and then Keith is sunk by further bombing.36 of the crew become casualties in the air attacks, and an additional 100 when the rescue tug is lost.
Destroyer HMS Basilisk is overwhelmed in a series of air attacks and loses all steam power. She is finally sunk in the English Channel off La Panne at 51 08N 02 35E in shallow water and her hull destroyed by depth charges dropped by HMS Whitehall. There are 131 survivors.
Just after departing Dunkirk, HMS Havant receives two bomb hits in her engine room and another as she passes over it. Is anchored and the soldiers transferred to other craft whilst under airattack. She is then abandoned, rolls over and sinks in the English Channel off Dunkirk at 51 04N 02 35E. There are 8 casualties.
HMS Skipjack is overwhelmed by air attacks as she is evacuating soldiers from Malo les Bains. She capsizes and sinks taking with her over 270 soldiers, the few that survived were machine gunned in the water. English Channel 51 03N 02 24E HMS Mosquito, a Yangtse river gunboat is overwhelmed by air attacks and sinks in the English Channel off Dunkirk. Her surviving crew are picked up by drifters. (Alex Gordon)(108)
The perimeter is drawn in, the British withdrawing from the Colme to the line Bergues, Uxem, Ghyrelde, Bass-Plaine.
Leading Seaman Ernest Frederick Eldred was on the destroyer HMS Harvester during the evacuation from Dunkirk. The crew members thought they were simply on patrol; then they saw the boats steaming across the Channel.
"I suppose you would call it more of a holiday scene with every type of boat and craft, an endless line across the Channel; some being towed by larger boats. It was a fantastic sight." As a destroyer, the Harvester was responsible for fighting off German air attacks as well as picking up as many men as possible from the beach. "I don't think the destroyers have ever carried so many men as we did, there must have been hundreds, literally crammed in every space you could think of; you could hardly have got a cat aboard each time."
He recalls that they just "set them down anywhere we possibly could ... down the stokehole, engine room, mess decks were full, upper deck was crowded, everywhere. The only place we couldnt have them was by the guns."
Paris: This morning the French Army reported:
The French and British land, sea and air forces at Dunkirk are continuing, in full accord, their stubborn fight against the impressing German troops, and at the same time are trying to secure the evacuation.
Paris: Leopold III, the King of the Belgians, is struck off the Order of the Legion of Honour.
NORWAY: A week after deciding to withdraw from Norway, the Allies announce the evacuation of all troops.
Both carriers and their escort continue their passage to Norway. (Mark Horan)
SWITZERLAND: Bern: The Swiss Army Staff reported:
This afternoon in the Jura mountains, Swiss sovereign territory was violated by foreign aircraft. The Swiss Alarm Patrol immediately took up pursuit, engaged in aerial combat with a German bomber and shot down the aircraft near Lignieres (Ger. Tassenberg). One hour later another Swiss fighter plane engaged in aerial combat with a second German aircraft over the Freiburg region (Fr. Franches-Montagnes). The burning German plane crashed onto French territory near Oltingen, on the other side of the Swiss border.
CHINA: Hsiangyang falls to the Japanese.
U.S.A.: The North Carolina-class battleship Washington (BB-56) is launched at the Philadelphia Navy Yard sponsored by Miss Virginia Marshall, of Spokane, Washington, a direct descendant of former Chief Justice Marshall. The Washington is the first U.S. Navy battleship launched since 1921. (Jack McKillop)
War has shown Germans inferior, they say [France]
Just a tad premature there Pierre
The loss of General Billotte was not a great one at this point of the game. By this time the commander of French Army Group 1 had already had his moral completely shattered and it showed. When he was moving his headquarters from Folembray to Douai after the Germans were pressing that area he was heard saying "Je suis crevé de fatigue...et contre ces panzers je ne peux rien faire," which translated is "I'm exhausted and I can't do anything about these tanks." This would not be the first time he would say this and it would over the next few days become more of a mantra for him.
His last acts in command had him meeting with Weygand at Ypres on the 21st of May. Lord Gort was to be at this meeting too but was out of contact at the time due to being in the middle of relocating his headquarters. Overall there was a communication breakdown first because Lord Gort did not get to see Weygand at this meeting and on the way back to headquarter, Billotte was in this car accident and never regained conscientiousness, dying two days later of the 23rd.
Source: Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man - Hugh Sebag-Montefiore
The pace of this war was ahead of all but a handful of French generals. Certainly Weygand, Gamelin, Georges and Billotte were totally befuddled. While some say the "Weygand Plan" was doomed by Billotte's car accident, I doubt he could have pulled it off. The French, British and Belgians just didn't have the ability to cobble together a mobile striking force. Millions of refugees clogging the roads didn't help them any.
I can only think of two French combat generals who could stay with the Germans: Prioux and DeGaulle. Prioux was dealt a shabby hand when Blanchard went upstairs after the loss of Billotte, and DeGaulle was a new general still getting the feel for commanding an armored division.
Prioux was handed a sinking ship after Billotte was killed, it was only a few day later that he was taken prisoner by the Germans along with most of what was left of the French 1st Army.
I would add de Lattre to that list though. He was a minor figure during the battle for France here, but he will distinquish himself here in a few days at Rethel and also will put up a good fight at Loire. Also, he was in charge of the French 1st in southern France after its landing in operation DRAGOON. The French actually put a real good effort against the Germans in the south with the exception of a stop order that allowed the Colmar pocket to form. The blame on that though in my opinion falls equally on Devers and Lattre combined with a "red headed step child" attitude toward supplying this southern army group. However, it should be pointed out that it was nearly impossible for anyone to get past Lattre's ego which made him come off even snobbier than Guiard in North Africa.
Day 275 June 1, 1940
Dunkirk. Overnight, BEF pulls out of the defensive line and head for the ships, leaving French troops to hold a reduced perimeter closer to Dunkirk. Good flying weather returns and renewed German bombing sinks French destroyer Le Foudroyant (19 killed), British destroyers HMS Basilisk (9 lives lost, scuttled by destroyer HMS Whitehall), HMS Havant (8 lives lost, scuttled by minesweeper HMS Saltash after taking off the crew), and HMS Keith (36 killed, 130 rescued by various ships).
Minesweeper HMS Skipjack is bombed after embarking 275 soldiers from the beach and sinks (19 crew and most of the troops drown). British steamer Scotia is bombed and sinks (32 crew and 200-300 troops lost). Numerous other ships are badly damaged and many smaller ships are also sunk. Despite this, 47,081 Allied troops embark from Dunkirk harbour & 17,348 from the beaches. http://www.halcyon-class.co.uk/skipjack/hms_skipjack.htm
Norway. With Britain itself now threatened by German invasion from France, British troops begin evacuating Narvik and returning home. British ambassador to Norway, Sir Cecil Dormer, informs King Haakon VII that there will be a withdrawal. The King, his son Crown Prince Olav and the Norwegian government are encouraged to leave their country.
At 11 PM, U-37 sinks Greek SS Ioanna carrying onions 120 miles west of Cape Finisterre. All crew survive and make land at Vigo, Spain. http://www.uboat.net/allies/merchants/ships/333.html

It's Leap Day, So Here Are Some Reasons You Should Eat Lemurs
Over at Epicurious, the Epi-Log has asked its readers a pretty pressing question on this weird Leap Day: Is there anything special you can cook to mark the occasion?
Some have chimed in suggesting frog-themed snacks–you could certainly fry up some frog's legs. But if you have to go animal with the non-holiday, we recommend sticking to lemurs, nature's weirdest leapers (as seen above).
Eating the eerie primates has been taboo and illegal in their native Madagascar for quite some time (though that might be changing as new generations hunt some species and eat their meat "as a bar snack"), so you're better off just making a cake that looks like one.
Or, you could go a little more metaphorical. How about a baker's dozen of cupcakes, or a batch of petit fives? Check out what other people are suggesting over at Epicurious, and feel free to weigh in in the comments.

Mary Ellen Balchunis will be the sole challenger to incumbent Pat Meehan's reelection bid in the wake of this Tuesday's candidacy deadline.
Republican Meehan is the incumbent for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District which extends into lower Berks and Montgomery counties as well as parts of Chester and Delaware counties.
A former U.S Attorney and current Chester Hill resident, he was reelected into his second term in 2012 with a near 60 percent majority, beating out Democrat George Bradley.
As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, the lawmaker has made addressing the risk of cyber threats one of his priorities.
In the business realm he advocates tax cuts for small businesses and investment in infrastructure.
In Congress he has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and to defund organizations like National Public Radio. He also voted for the Cut, Gap and Balance Act heavily supported by the Tea Party.
Balchunis, a political science professor at La Salle University, declared her candidacy after earning the unanimous endorsement of the Delaware County Democratic Committee in February.
In contrast to Meehan, she favors upholding the Affordable Care Act.
She has also gone on record as a strong supporter of equal pay and "sensible" gun laws.
Primary elections for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will take place on May 20.

The evidence against convicted killer David Viens in the 2009 death of his wife Dawn is damning. And disturbing. It took more than two years to put the case against Viens together and another year to land a conviction.
Viens recently appeared in a Los Angeles courthouse in what was to be his sentencing for the murder of his wife of 15 years, Dawn Marie Viens. Instead, Viens fired his court-appointed attorney and asked Judge Rand Rubin to allow him to represent himself.
"You will be up against a district attorney who has gone to law school," the judge told Viens. "You haven't gone to law school. (But ) I will treat you like I treat attorneys."
Viens, a chef and former co-owner with his late wife Dawn of Thyme Contemporary Café in Lomita, California, said he understood. With that, the judge ruled: "You are now counsel of record."
Viens will appear as his own attorney on February 1 and, as promised by the judge, face seasoned Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Debra Brazil as Viens is expected to make his case for the lenient side of 15 years to life in prison.
While Viens has successfully stalled his sentencing, there's no reversing, at least at this juncture, the evidence against him.
Dawn vanished in October 2009, which is when friends last saw her leaving the couple's restaurant. She left her car behind but took her Louis Vuitton purse with her. David did not report his wife's disappearance. Instead, just days later, he moved his new girlfriend into the couple's home and tossed his wife's clothing and belongings into a Dumpster behind the café. Three weeks later, concerned friends reported 39-year-old Dawn as missing.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies considered the husband a person of interest, but they didn't have enough to go on. Then, during a drive on the Southern California coast with his girlfriend, Viens pulled over and the pair argued on the side of the road. Sheriff's deputies were alerted and, in an apparent panic at being approached by law enforcement, Viens, now 49, leaped off an 80-foot cliff to the sand below. He survived.
After weeks in a coma as he recovered from multiple broken bones and internal injuries, Viens awakened and, from his hospital bed, confessed to deputies that he had killed his wife. They still, however, did not know what became of Dawn's body.
It took several months longer, but during a second interview with Viens, police tape recorded a second confession, which was first revealed publicly when it was played to the jury during the trial. It was a stunning admission: Viens, in a matter-of-fact voice, described getting rid of his wife's body by stuffing it in a 55-gallon drum of water, holding it down with weights, and boiling it in his restaurant. "I just slowly cooked it," he can be heard saying in the recording, "and I ended up cooking her for four days."
He bagged the bones and tossed them along with the trash.
In addition to that startling confession, detectives had confronted Viens' adult daughter, Jacqueline, who later testified that after her step-mother went missing, her father told her he had hog-tied Dawn and taped her mouth closed. By morning, Dawn had choked and died, the daughter testified. Jacqueline Viens also told the jury that she had, at her father's request, texted a message from Dawn's cell phone shortly after her step-mother's disappearance, stating in the text that Dawn needed a break and was on vacation.
It was what detectives had been looking for. Armed with Viens' two recorded confessions and the daughter's damaging statements, police had enough to send the case to the district attorney's office for prosecution.
A jury last September found David Viens guilty of second-degree murder. The only thing left was for the judge to sentence him, during which family members had planned to publicly address Viens. But Viens, in firing his attorney, successfully delayed his sentencing.
"I think most of us were expecting David to pull the stunt he pulled today," said Dawn's sister, Dayna Papin, after the court ruling.
Her father Michael Papin told reporters after the hearing that he had gone to court looking for closure. "It's been a long three years," said Papin, who traveled from his home in Florida to attend, "and (David) is going to try and make it last as long as possible. Justice for Dawn will have to wait for another day."

I love this washer! I was doing laundry every day of the week, but now I do laundry 2 days a week. I am fascinated how it works. I was skeptical at first that clothes could really get clean, using less water, but my clothes come out so fresh and clean and faster than I would have thought. Most of all, I love the melody that plays when my laundry is done - so much better than that annoying buzzer of the old washer. At first the many settings confused me, but it took a very short time to figure out. I have not had to use the Smart Diagnostics feature yet, but will be interested to see how that works. I am using less detergent and less water and more cold water and that has to be good for our household budget. This was one of the best buys we have ever made!

Purchased this to replace our 18 year old Maytag unit and it performs OK. The machine is louder than I thought it would be. Some times though it seems that the amount of water that the machine is using to wash with is not sufficient for the load size.

Dissapointed with the washer's reliability

Comments about LG Top Load Washer With WaveForce:
We purchased the washer a few years ago and have encountered problems. The washer is now having an issue with transitioning between the rinse and spin mode. Our service mechanics now says the replacement of the board is needed but I cannot get the replacement board. Disappointing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Horrible Washer
By coyote7
from Chicago, IL, United States
this washer is the worst I've ever owned! it doesn't save water , it wastes 5 times the water because it's always saying uneven loads even when we tried nothing in it! when it's uneven it just keeps filling and draining all day non-stop unless you catch it!! It also will keep clothes on top never to be puled under water and washed. We have pulled out clothes that sat on top and were still dirty!! Worst washer ever!!!!
best washer ever

This is a terrible washing machine
By LynneLaGrange
I've had this washer for two years - I can't seem to get through a load without it getting out of balance.

Look for something else
By Robinlee525
from Florida, United States
I've had this washer for a few years now. I hate this machine. It goes off balance constantly, my sheets and blankets come out in knots and so do my clothes. Water lever is never past the clothing I put in no matter what I do. I'm always adding more water. I was very hesitant about buying another LG washer after having a front loader. Next time I will know better. This is a big disappointment.
This product is high quality and well worth it.

Love this washer!! The features are very nice. Everything is high quality. Very happy with my purchase.
Everything great in a wash machine!
By Lana
from Salisbury,NC
Nice and quiet and it NEVER gets off balance! It does get clothes clean!!! Some may say it don't have enought water. But this machine knows what it is doing. I love my LG wash machine so much I went back and bought the matching gas dryer with stream! A great investment. This tub is so big I can never fill it up. With the old washers even the biggest tub was to small. Big bedspreads for a king size bed, fits just fine with room to spare. It's worth every penny!!!
By molly

Better make sure you read the manual thoroughly before use. This machine does not use enough water during a cycle! They design washers they claim are good for the environment because they use less water. However, in the manual they suggest selecting up to two extra rinse cycles if your clothes has too much soap build up! AND they suggest selecting extra water as well. I have definitely ran into the problem of my clothes starting to smell a little musty, due to soap build up. Even when using very little liquid detergent. Make sure you clean the tub monthly by selecting the clean Tub button. AND use extra rinse AND extra water. With all the extra water, AND the extra long time a cycle takes....not so efficient i'd say. Oh how I miss the old washing machines. I would NOT recommend this washing machine.
Great Washer!

Handles daily family laundry much better than my old front loader! The clothes are cleaner, the cycle is completed in the stated time, and it handles larger loads without becoming unbalanced.
Yes, this washer is THAT good!
By Dlovenburg
from Colorado
After researching different washers in January, we decided this machine was the one for us! We are extremely pleased with the cleaning as well as the capacity. I believe I have washed a dozen pairs of jeans and khaki pants in one washing! ( I can't wait to get the matching dryer!) our clothing is softer and dare I say fluffier!! Even the lint in the dryer lint screen is fluffy!! Several reviewers complained about the washer--out of balance or wrinkles. You MUST read the manual thoroughly before using!! Pretend there is an agitator in the center when loading. As you load the clothes, think of balancing the weight. Place heavier items of the load in the bottom. Fold pants and jeans and such to help prevent tangling. In three months, I have had only two loads go out of balance. It just takes a little time ... don't dump and run. Regarding the wrinkling issue some reviews complained about.... You do have the ability to alter the preset wash settings! For clothing I use a medium spin and when I move the items from washer to dryer, I give the item a shake before it goes in the dryer. Those two steps eliminate wrinkling! Yes, I highly recommend this washer! It can handle your laundry needs and treat your clothing with care. Read your manual and follow the instructions and you will be happy with your washer, too!

Labor to target retiring Liberal MP Iain Evans' seat of Davenport
- From: The Advertiser
- June 09, 2014
LABOR will consider throwing its support behind an independent candidate in the safe Liberal seat of Davenport as it prepares for a by-election that is due within a year.
Former Opposition leader Iain Evans announced his shock resignation from the Liberal frontbench last Friday and flagged plans to leave State Parliament within 12 months.
His foothills seat of Davenport, based around Flagstaff Hill and Blackwood, is held by the Liberals on a safe 8.1 per cent margin.
However, Labor has warned it is vulnerable to a challenge from the Greens or an independent if the Liberal primary vote falls below 50 per cent.
Mr Weatherill said he had asked Labor's state executive to open candidate nominations for the seat, but did not rule out instead putting the party's backing behind a strong independent.
"We want to ensure that Davenport moves from the Liberal column into a column that we can work with, so either an independent Liberal or a Labor candidate," Mr Weatherill said.
Mr Evans won 51 per cent of the primary vote in March.
Labor picked up 29 per cent, the Greens 15 per cent and Family First 5 per cent.
Opposition Leader Steven Marshall yesterday said some Liberal MPs had already told him they would not contest the 2018 general election.
Meanwhile, Liberal defector Martin Hamilton-Smith will address the next SA Press Club lunch on June 27 on the reasons for his shock defection to support the Government.
The former Liberal leader will explain "his decision to switch sides and how it will benefit the state".
Mr Hamilton-Smith announced late last month that he had quit the Liberal Party to become an independent Liberal MP but would support the Government.
He joined the Labor Cabinet and is now the Minister for Trade, Investment, Defence Industries and Veterans' Affairs.

HPV causes cancer. Help protect your kids.
Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTL or HSTCL) is a rare T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). It tends to occur more often in teenage boys and young adult men. It sometimes develops in people with a suppressed immune system, such as after an organ transplant. It may also be called hepatosplenic gamma delta T-cell lymphoma.
HSTL is often difficult to diagnose. HSTL usually involves the liver or spleen. As a result, people with HSTL often have an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly), an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly) or both (hepatosplenomegaly). The bone marrow is also commonly involved. HSTL is associated with symptoms like fatigue, B symptoms, anemia and abnormally low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). Lymph nodes are not usually enlarged.
HSTL is a very fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma. The prognosis for people with this type of lymphoma is often poor.
There is no standard treatment for HSTL.
Most often, people with HSTL are treated with combination chemotherapy. CHOP or CHOP-like therapies are used.
Although most people respond to chemotherapy at first, many will relapse.
A stem cell transplant (SCT) may be an option for some people with HSTL.
For more detailed information on specific drugs, go to sources of drug information.

The town is situated in the Alta Valtellina Valley and is also famous for its duty free status and lively nightlife.
The Madness office is situated at the bottom of the Mottolino Gondola (lift n°3) where you can get all the information you need and book up your lessons.
