On Friday the U.S. State Department condemned Israel for allowing people to build houses on land on the western side of the Jordan River.
The land was legally purchased in 2009 by Dr. Irving & Cherna Moskowitz from US Presbyterian Church. Well, actually it wasn't that actually the building of houses that the Obama administration objected to. If it were intended to house Christians or Muslims they wouldn't have objected.
As it is with so many other things, the Obama administration objected to the fact that Jews were going to live in those buildings.
I cannot think of any other faith in the world, which this administration objects to legally purchasing land or buildings and moving in to the land they legally purchased.

An underwater surprise - level 2
18-05-2015 15:00
A person in Arizona was snorkelling in the Colorado River when he discovered something shocking – two human skeletons!
He called police to the site and found out that the skeletons were not real. What's more, they were relaxing and enjoying a tea party.
Two divers placed the skeletons Bernie and Bernadette in the river in August 2014. They did it for fun.
The skeletons may bring more tourists to the area.
Difficult words: snorkel (when you have your head under the water and breathe through a tube – a snorkel), skeleton (all of the bones in somebody's body), site (a place where something special happened).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Best Mature Online Dating Sites
These Are *The* Top Mature Dating Sites To Find Someone Your Age
Past your mid-30s and looking to date? You're not alone. With the rate of divorce at around 50% and engagements taking place years, if not decades, later than generations prior, there are plenty of older singles out there who are in the very same boat.
So why does dating seem so different now, and even harder than it was in your prime 20s? The thing is, dating isn't impossible as your get older, but as an older dater, certain constraints and challenges do arise.
First of all, the numbers aren't exactly on your side if you're past your mid-30s. You're not just looking for any single — you want to meet singles who are around your age, open to dating after divorce or a serious relationship and, of course, those with whom you share common ground and are attracted to.
Additionally, for better or worse, thank to the onset of technology and ever-changing cultural norms, the dating game has dramatically evolved over the last decade and is still continuing to do so.
Nowadays, dating communication takes place via text instead of phone, email instead of written word, and often, sadly, chat instead of in-person. Pickup lines have turned into psychological mind games of nonchalant flirtatious teases that take a seasoned dating veteran to fully understand. And as we get older, simple, honest compliments are more easily misconstrued by those who are just entering dating after divorce or a serious relationship.
Finally, your daily routine and activities likely don't open the door to meeting other potential matches as easily as they did in your 20s. Most bars and clubs are understood to be places where young single people meet, but when it comes to finding places where older generations meet, you're going to have to think outside of the box.
If these are some of the challenges you face, it's time to realize that you're not just interested in dating: You're interested in mature dating.
How to Master Mature Dating in the Online World
Too old for Tinder, but too young to be alone — what's a mature dater to do? Although the media may have you thinking the online dating scene is filled with naive 20-somethings, some of the most recent data shows that behind the marketing tactics, a full 51% of online daters are 45 years of age or older. (And, in fact, only 28% are in that coveted 24- to 34-year-old age range.)
Surprising? Slightly, but not when you look at what online dating sites really are: Digital tools to help you meet other singles with whom you wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to connect.
More than just connecting you, dating websites offer the unique benefit of matching you with people you are most compatible with and it does so transparently. That means no more guessing her age and no more lying about your own.
Using advanced technology and digital algorithms, online dating weeds out others who you would not likely match well with, saving you time and energy, and preventing you from the disappointment of discovering unsolvable differences.
Ready to enter the world of mature dating? Read on for the best online dating sites for you!

That's not all though. According to Chaos' boss Riaan Swart, the winner will bag some permanent prizes as well. "During Tech Paradise 2012," he says "we're not just giving the winner and his/her 4 friends the awesome Villa, amazing toys and technology's best experience, but also, prizes worth more than R50 000 in total. You'll also have the bragging rights to say you lived the life of technology's best!"Sound intriguing? Enter here.Oh, this is how it went down for last year's winners. Pretty damned awesome.

As we all know, 2012 is so far a great year for biotech stocks investors. So many biotech stocks were approved in last two months and more to come in next few months. Based on the current state and pipeline, I believe Cell Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CTIC) has huge upside potential.
Cell Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, engages in the development, acquisition, and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of cancer. Cell Therapeutics has a market cap of $252M and currently trading around $1.31 with a 52-week range of $0.95 to $3.33 per share. The company is developing Pixuvri, a novel anthracycline derivative for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as for various other hematologic malignancies and solid tumors; OPAXIO, a Phase III clinical trial product for the treatment of ovarian, brain, esophageal, and non-small cell lung cancer; and Brostallicin, a phase II trial for the treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. It is also developing Bisplatinates, a platinum-based chemotherapy drug to treat various kinds of cancers. The company has collaboration and licensing agreements with PG-TXL Company, L.P.; Gynecologic Oncology Group; Nerviano Medical Sciences; Cephalon (NASDAQ:CEPH); and Novartis (NYSE:NVS).
There are currently no proven effective therapies for these advanced NHL patients
Approval by European Commision
On February 17, 2012, Cell Therapeutics announced that Pixuvri™ (pixantrone dimaleate) has been granted a positive opinion for conditional approval from the European Medicines Agency's ("EMA") Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP"). Based on the CHMP's recommendation, CTI expects that a conditional marketing authorization for Pixuvri should be granted by the European Commission within the next few months. CHMP recommended Pixuvri for conditional approval as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with multiple relapsed or refractory aggressive non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas ("NHL").
If the CHMP's recommendation is formally adopted by the European Commission, Pixuvri would be approved for marketing in the 27 countries that are members of the E.U., as well as the European Economic Area. The decision by the European Commission is typically issued approximately two to three months after the CHMP opinion and generally follows the recommendation from the CHMP. If the opinion is confirmed by the European Commission, Pixuvri would be the first drug approved for patients in this setting.
Assuming European commission approves Pixuvri in next two to three months, the stock will go up by more than 50% since there are currently no proven effective therapies for these advanced NHL patients.
Approval by U.S. Food and Drug Administration
On January 30, 2012, Cell Therapeutics announced that it has voluntarily withdrawn its New Drug Application (NDA) for Pixuvri. The NDA was withdrawn because, after communications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, CTI needed additional time to prepare for the review of the Pixuvri NDA by the FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee at its February 9, 2012 meeting. Prior to withdrawing the NDA, CTI requested that the FDA consider rescheduling the review of the Pixuvri NDA to the ODAC meeting to be held in late March. The FDA was unable to accommodate CTI's request to reschedule, and given the April 24, 2012 Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date, the only way to have Pixuvri possibly considered at a later ODAC meeting was for CTI to withdraw and later resubmit the NDA. CTI plans to resubmit the NDA in 2012.
We should expect a rally as soon as CTI files a NDA with U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the chance of getting approved by FDA is likely if this is already approved by European commission. Once this is approved by FDA, the stock price will once again sets new 52-week high. Apart from Pixuvri, CTI also has many other drugs in the clinical development pipeline such as Tosedostat (Phase II trial), OPAXIO (Phase III trial), Brostallicin (Phase II trial) and Novel Bisplatinum Analogues (Pre clinical research). Positive results from these clinical trials are also additional bonus for the CTIC investors.

Local Supervising Authority
Midwifery Officers
Forum UK
You are here: Home »
About Us
Local Supervising Authority arrangements differ across the
United Kingdom. In England the LSA is the Commissioning Board (NHS
England), in Scotland they are the Health Boards, in Wales the
Health Inspectorate and in Northern Ireland, the Public Health
Each LSA has an appointed LSA Midwifery Officer (LSAMO) to carry
out the LSA function. They are all practising midwives with
experience in statutory supervision and provide a focus for issues
relating to midwifery practice within each area. They also
contribute to the wider NHS agenda by supporting public health and
interprofessional activities at Strategic Health Authority, Board,
Inspectorate or PHA level.
The role of the LSAMO is unique: it does not represent the
interests of either the commissioners or providers of NHS maternity
services. Regular contact with all supervisors of midwives and with
the UK forum of LSA Midwifery Officers ensures that they have
detailed knowledge of contemporary issues.
Each LSA is responsible for ensuring that statutory supervision
of all midwives, as required in the Nursing and Midwifery Order
(2001) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council's (NMC) Midwives rules
and standards (2012) is exercised to a satisfactory standard within
its geographical boundary.
The functions of the LSA, as discharged by the Midwifery Officer
Each LSAMO compiles an annual report for the NMC, in accordance
with Rule 13 of the Midwives rules and standards (NMC 2012), which
outlines supervisory activities over the past year, key issues,
audit outcomes and emerging trends affecting maternity services.
This report is signed off by the LSA and is available to a wide
range of stakeholders, including all Supervisors of Midwives, to
facilitate effective commissioning and delivery of maternity

EFT Source teams up with Evolis to introduce new option for instant card issuance
EFT Source, a leading provider of turn¬key card production and management solutions, partnered with Evolis, a leader in plastic card personalization solutions to develop Card@Once®, a new product for financial institutions to issue cards instantly.
How it works:
When a customer requests a card, the data is securely transferred from the branch location to EFT Source. The data is immediately processed and converted into a print file that is sent back to the branch electronically. Card@Once® encodes the data and prints the card allowing the customer to walk away with a ready-to-use, active card.
EFT Source trusted Evolis, worldwide manufacturer of card printers, to develop the proprietary equipment. The Card@Once® card printers have been designed based on the Evolis dual-sided color card printer, Dualys. Fast and easy-to-use, Dualys offers unmatched print quality along with a unique 3-year warranty.
"Our unique expertise allows us to customize our printers based on our customers' requirements"
"We are excited to bring Card@Once® to the market because it's a unique, turn-key solution for instant card issuance," said Bill Dinker, EFT Source president. "It's secure, it's cost-effective and it's easy to use. These machines are literally 'plug and play' because it's a web-based solution that does not require system set-up for an IT department. And, in this day and age where we get information, products and services in an instant, consumers don't want to wait a week to get a debit card in the mail. With Card@Once®, financial institutions have a competitive edge."
Additional benefits for Card@Once® include key management, custom card designs, toll¬-free technical support, 24-hour replacement, and the option to integrate with core processors or operate as a standalone solution.
The first Card@Once® machines have already been delivered and are in service.
EFT Source has been providing ATM and debit card personalization and fulfillment for nearly 35 years. It supplies various card designs, from personal photo to platinum styles, as well as mini cards, gift cards and community cards.

Commonly in customer environments with existing Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 servers; Windows Server 2008 CALs will have been purchased already.

Multiple users can access an instance of Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 if every accessing device or user has a Windows MultiPoint Server CAL and a Windows Server CAL.
Users can acquire MultiPoint Server in the following ways:
Multiple users can access an instance of Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 if every accessing device or user has a Windows MultiPoint Server CAL.
Users can acquire MultiPoint Server through a new hardware purchase in the following ways:
While MultiPoint Server permits licensing in a multiuser solution, the Windows Server operating system also provides a multiuser solution using Remote Desktop Services and/or other technologies. Multiple users can access a licensed instance of Windows Server if every accessing user or device has a Windows Server CAL and Remote Desktop Services CAL.
The Windows Server license terms described in the PUR specify that both a Windows Server Client Access License (CAL) and Remote Desktop Services CAL (RDS CAL) are required whenever a user is remotely connecting to Windows Server to display, access, or use a graphical user interface (for example, a desktop PC or application).
The RDS CAL is required regardless of the technology used to access the server remotely (Microsoft Remote Desktop Services or other third-party software).
Both device and user variants of the RDS CAL are available so that customers can make the best CAL purchase decisions based on their individual needs.
Windows client operating systems by contrast do not permit multiple users to access or otherwise use one licensed copy of the software simultaneously.
Under current licensing terms, each host computer or access device using Windows 7, Windows Vista®, or Windows XP must have either a license for such Windows client operating system purchased through the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) channel or the retail/full packaged product (FPP) channel, or a Volume Licensing upgrade purchased on top of a qualifying operating system license.
The Software License Terms (formerly referred to as the EULA) and Microsoft Product Use Rights (PUR) provide that Windows client operating systems are licensed under the following terms:
One license for each device on or from which the client operating system is accessed and used. One user accessing the software at a time. No use of the client operating system's runtime and other files to run applications not running on the software.

Is Sushi good for you?
I was wondering if sushi might actually be bad for you- I tend to feel bad afterward. I even have cut way down on sodium when I eat sushi.
Fri. Jun 22, 10:22am
Could be that sushi isn't good for YOU... maybe you've got some kind of allergy to one of the ingredients, or to uncooked fish oil or something like that.
I've got high blood pressure, and if I'm not careful with the soysauce, I can send my bp through the roof eating sushi.
Friday, June 22, 2007, 11:41 AM
Many types of sushi are good for you-low cal (not all though!), low saturated fat and minimally processed, and the nori (a type of seaweed) that sushi is often wrapped in is very good for you-high in vitamin A, fiber, protein, and phytonutrients. Sushi isn't high in sodium itself-it's the soy sauce that people use with it that is!
You could have an allergy, or just a sensitive stomach. What type of sushi do you usually eat?
Friday, June 22, 2007, 12:19 PM
Try to substitute the Soy Sauce, with Bragg's Amino Acids, it's a fantastic low-sodium alternative. I find it at my local co-op.
Monday, June 25, 2007, 1:08 AM
I just started eating sushi and was wondering about this as well...without the soy sauce, how bad is say, a california roll or something? Its delicious!
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 7:12 AM
Just be careful... A lot of the rolls have a spicy mayo that keeps it all together. Unitl recently, I thought I was being virtuous when I ordered an entire plate of California rolls as my meal. Of course, we're allowed to endulge every so often, aren't we? ;)
Approximate nutritional breakdown of sushi items:
Avocado roll: 246 calories, 11g fat, 33g carbs
Spicy tuna roll: 290 calories, 11g fat, 26g carbs
Shrimp tempura roll: 544 calories, 13g fat, 75g carbs
Philadelphia roll (salmon, cream cheese, avocado): 319 calories, 5g fat, 30g carbs
Spider roll (fried soft-shell crab): 317 calories, 12g fat, 38g carbs
California roll: 266 calories, 8.5g fat, 36g carbs
Cucumber roll: 136 calories, 0g fat, 30g carbs
Eel and avocado roll: 372 calories, 17.5g fat, 31g carbs
Tuna nigiri (2 pieces over rice): 240 calories, 1g fat, 27g carbs
Salmon sashimi (2 pieces, no rice): 164 calories, 6g fat, 0g carbs

Great breakdown! However, the nutritional breakdown represents how many rolls?
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 7:47 AM
My idea of sushi for a long time was limited to rolls - primarily California rolls and Jambalaya rolls - shrimp tempura with eel and spicy mayo (Ymm)...
would say those aren't so low fat, but...
friends introduced me to sashimi (fish without the rice) and after eating the sashimi special, I felt satisfied but not full and bloated like with the rolls
also, the soup can be salty, if you eat that with it
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 8:48 AM
7:28 here...
Actually, it is several rolls (6, maybe). I should have stated that. So it's not terrible. But I tell you, I used to eat those rolls with reckless abandon. But then, I used to do that with a lot of foods! :D
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 10:54 AM
When people give info for a roll, that is the way that the sushi chefs make the sushi - it is one piece of seaweed, spread with the rice, and then the fish/filling is added. Then they roll it up into one roll, and that roll is sliced into 6 - 8 bite-sized pieces. So, a roll for around 250 cals really isn't so bad, considering the protein, fiber, and healthy fats in most (like, from fish and avocado. Tempura filling and spicy mayo is not so healthy.) I can eat 2 rolls for dinner and be completely satisfied. And a 500-calorie dinner isn't too bad.

I think there's too much white rice in sushi for it to be good for someone who is trying to lose weight.
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 11:37 AM
It depends what the goal is. If you're counting carbs, then there is too much white rice. If you are just counting strictly calories, and you control your portion, you can lose weight and eat white rice. The Chinese and Japanese have been doing it for centuries, and only started having obesity problems when restaurants like McDonalds and KFC started opening there.
Sushi has started making me feel sick lately too - not sure why. So I don't eat it as often, and stick to mostly cooked foods when I'm there. That seems to do the trick for me.
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 11:45 AM
I found that the white rice fills me up too fast! I stick to miso soup, green tea, ebi sunumono salad, and then a few pieces of sashimi or sushi and a couple bites of rolls. That way I get lots of protein and not so much sticky rice. It works great! I don't feel sick after eating a whole meal (which I do if I eat all the rolls w/ rice!)
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 12:12 PM
i get great sushi with brown rice and awesome sashimi (no rice) from a local joint. it's so healthy and filling! stay away from the sauces they push--fresh fish tastes great on its own. and always opt for the low-sodium soy sauce if you must have it!!
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 12:17 PM
I agree. I stick to salad and miso soup, then one roll. And seeing as I'm vegetarian, not much on the menu is too bad for me :) The trick is getting a combo veggie roll. My favorite sushi place usually puts cucumber, tomato, lettuce, radish, avocado, and carrot into the roll and there isn't much room for the rice. Sure, the avocado is fatty, but there's not much in there. No more than I would put on a salad, anyway.
Sushi has actually really helped me lose weight.
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 12:19 PM
I've always been curious about sushi and want to learn how to make it myself. Not the raw fish though. I would be concerned that it isn't fresh enough. And I live on the coast.
I had wondered about using brown rice and if it really changes the taste.
And don't they use mirin in the rice? I had no idea there was a mayo type of thing.
Good info guys. Thanks.
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 8:48 PM
nice to see a break down of the calories, per roll. Not too bad at all, really.
I haven't had sushi in a while, but I got to the point where I was actually ordering more sashimi than sushi, and then a cup of miso soup and a side salad. I just found that the rice left me feeling too full/bloated. I have made my own rolls, with brown rice, and I didn't experience the same bloated feeling, so I blame it on the white rice.
Still, I think there is a concern with eating raw fish... mercury
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 10:33 PM
mercury content, and the possibility of parasites or other nasty little micro organisms that can make one ill.
So, try to find a good sushi bar, with the freshest fish, and the highest health dept score!
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 10:36 PM
I have never heard of mayo in sushi before! Gross! Go to a sushi shop run by Japanese folks. The chef should be a male (it's totally against tradition for a female to be a sushi chef) and you should be able to nod to thank him as you leave. Don't be afraid to ask where they get their fish from! They should be able to tell you how often it's flown in and/or where they pick it up each day.
You have to be careful, but it's totally worth it to find a good quality sushi place!
Friday, October 12, 2007, 2:58 AM
Raley's is carrying California roll with brown rice now. More healthy, tastes the same. The calories are 35 per slice, and the California roll has cooked pollack so no worms to worry about.
Saturday, August 23, 2008, 6:11 PM
There should be brown rice in the rolls. That'd be much healthier and tastier than white rice.
Saturday, August 23, 2008, 7:31 PM
sodium in sushi
My bp has been up and i'm taking meds for it. So is it just the soy sauce that I should worry about or is it also the way the sushi is prepared as well?
Saturday, July 04, 2009, 2:52 PM
It depends on the type of sushi; if it's just rice, nori and fish/vegetables, then it should be fine. But some kinds have sauce or mayonnaise in them, which would increase the sodium content. You can check the ingredients, or ask the server if you're in a restaurant.

I believe governments around the world have been focusing too much on steering the economy these days. By enacting stimulus measures and creating more and more regulation, the governments are hindering free market capitalism to flourish by itself. These measures create unintended consequences like the Nasdaq bubble in 2000 and the housing bubble in 2007. I'm sure that governments are the root cause of all the problems in Europe today and soon the problems will escalate to the United States through contagion.
In this article I want to give an overview of several key countries of this world and their government involvement in their economy. The best measure to rate government involvement would be the amount of spending as a percentage of the country's GDP. We will discuss the effects of a big government on the country's economy and give advice to investors on how to act on this knowledge. We will see that the biggest governments are found in Europe, while government involvement in Asia is the smallest.
Following Chart 1 gives the amount of government spending as a percentage of the country's GDP:
We can note here that most developed countries (United States, Europe) have a lot of government spending, while emerging markets like Brazil and especially countries in the Asia-Pacific region (China, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan) have less government. Government spending is the highest in Sweden, France and Belgium (55%). The United States has a moderate spending ratio of 42% of GDP. Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan have little government spending, the ratio is as low as 17% of GDP. Based on this chart we can already conclude that the stronger economies are the ones with the least government (Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan), while countries like Sweden, France and Belgium would have a very inefficient economy due to large government involvement.
Let us first look at unemployment in each of these countries. The mainstream media wants to make us believe that government spending is good for employment, but I think this is not the case. It would seem obvious to me that countries with a lot of government spending would create unemployment. The reason is that a welfare state tends to eliminate the urge for people to look for jobs. As we add the most recent 2012 unemployment numbers to Chart 1, we get Chart 2. As you can see on Chart 2, countries with higher government involvement have as a consequence: higher unemployment. So there is a direct correlation between the size of government and unemployment. The PIIGS of Europe are the countries with highest unemployment in the world.
Chart 2: Government Spending (% GDP) VS. Unemployment (%)
Second, let's take a look at the government debt to GDP for each country. As more and more government is involved in the economy of a country, politicians will tend to spend more and more (at the expense of the tax payer). The more government in a country, the more government debt as a percentage of GDP. The two countries that have the highest debt in the world are Japan and Greece with debt above 150%. The countries with the best government budgets are Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Chart 3: Gov. Spending (% GDP) VS. Government Debt to GDP (%)
Finally, let's take a look at a normal individual's personal income tax rate per country. The national median income of an individual is around $US 40000/annum. If we add the personal income tax rate to Chart 1, we get Chart 4. Again, we can see that the size of government is in direct correlation with the tax rates. This also means that the European countries (with the most government) are the ones with the highest taxes. Higher taxation is most destructive to the private sector of the economy as it takes money from the competent people (free market capitalists) and gives it to the incompetent (government). Notable is that Saudi Arabia doesn't have income tax.
Chart 4: Gov. Spending (% GDP) VS. Personal Income Tax Rate (%)
I advise investors to invest their money in sound countries with the least government. These countries will have the wealthiest future going forward and most of them are located in the Asia-Pacific part of this world. You could buy these countries via funds: for example the Singapore fund (NYSE:SGF). If you would like to buy a more accessible country, you could go with Switzerland's iShares MSCI Switzerland Index Fund (NYSEARCA:EWL). If you are betting on China, Canada or Australia, you could buy commodities like gold (NYSEARCA:GLD), silver (NYSEARCA:SLV) and copper (NYSEARCA:CPER). On the other part of the equation, you should avoid countries with big government. These are basically all European countries and their government bonds. So stay out of the WisdomTree Dreyfus Euro ETF (NYSEARCA:EU).

Retailers are getting slammed in recent weeks ahead of the important back-to-school season. Shares of Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:SHLD) are setting fresh lows after its second quarter results didn't reveal any bright points in the company's turnaround efforts.
The lack of urgency in the turnaround continued operating losses combined with large legacy obligations make me hesitant to invest. This is despite the potential upside caused by liquidation of the company's large real estate assets.
As long as Lampert is in place and continues to run the business in a dysfunctional manner, I remain on the sidelines.
Second Quarter Results
Sears generated second quarter revenues of $8.87 billion, down 6.3% on the year.
Net losses attributable to shareholders rose from $132 million last year to $194 million, as losses per share came in at $1.83 per share.
Adjusted losses per share came in at $1.46 per share, greater than last year's losses of $1.06 per share.
Looking Into The Results
Absolute revenues fell by $596 million compared to last year. Some $210 million is attributable to Kmart and Sears full-line store closes, and another $195 million is attributable from the separation of SHO. The remainder is explained by falling comparable store sales in the US operations which fell by 1.5% on the year before.
Notably performance at Kmart was weak as comparable sales fell by 2.1%, while comparable sales at Sears Domestic fell by 0.8%.
Gross margins fell by 210 basis points to just 24.6%. Gross margins were negatively impacted by discounts and Shop Your Way loyalty points.
The negative sales leverage pushed up selling, general and administrative expenses by 10 basis points to 25.8% of total revenues. Consequently, operating losses totaled $51 million compared to $103 million last year.
Sears ended the second quarter with $671 million in cash and equivalents. The company carries along $3.74 billion in short- and long-term debt as well as capital lease obligations, for a net debt position of around $3.1 billion.
Revenues for the first six months of the year came in at $17.32 billion, down 7.6% on the year before. Net losses came in at $473 million. At this pace full year revenues could come in around $36-$38 billion, while Sears will most likely report a large full year loss.
Trading around $40 per share, the market values Sears at $4.2 billion, valuing equity in the business at little over 0.10 times annual revenues.
Given the financial difficulties Sears does not pay a dividend.
Some Historical Perspective
Long-term investors in the stock will most certainly have mixed feelings. Shares rose from merely $15 in 2003 to highs of $190 in 2007 as the US consumer was spending home equity, and investors were optimistic about the mega-merger of 2005.
From there onwards shares have steadily fallen to levels around $40 at the moment, as shares trade at their lowest point in over a decade.
Between the calendar year of 2009 and 2012, Sears has seen its revenues fall by a cumulative 8% to just below the $40 billion mark last year. Modest profits have reversed into losses over the past two years, with losses expected to continue in 2013.
Investment Thesis
All in all there is not too much new to be found in the latest earnings report. Ever since the $11 billion mega-merger between Kmart and Sears, orchestrated by Lambert, revenues have fallen by roughly a third. That does not even adjust for inflation, implying that "real" sales have plunged even more.
Revenues continue to decline organically and on the back of store closings making it even harder to break-even. Even retail mammoths which have much greater execution, like Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), are struggling in today's environment. There are few signs of a stabilization, or an improvement in the operations, a major reason why investors are again disappointed.
Back in November of last year I last took a look at Sears' prospects after it released its third quarter results. Shares fell heavily after the report to levels in their mid-forties. Besides missing out on the stock market rally ever since, shares have actually fallen another 10%-15% to their lowest levels in over a decade.
I called the sell-off understandable as the pace of the turnaround is really slow, and now nine months later I have to reiterate that stance. The company remains far removed from reporting operating profits as the business keeps shrinking and cost cuts are not aggressive enough.
The organizational structure implemented by Lampert with 30 separate business units has resulted in so many internal problems that it will be hard to see the company work together, something really crucial in the retail landscape where promotions in one category attract traffic for the other categories.
Key initiatives like data sharing will therefore be difficult, or close to impossible. The only exception and bright spot is the online business of Sears which is quite advanced, as Lampert has high ambitions for the operations.
Given the lack of urgency for a turnaround, or any evidence of that, I remain really cautious and attach a low operating value to the business. For now, as it has been for years, the business is in steady decline and fierce competition makes it even more difficult to turn around the tide.
This means that the business should be valued more on liquidation value terms rather than on a going-concern valuation. Putting a fair value on Sears' great real estate remains tricky, but consensus is that the carried book value and favorable long term leases are undervalued at the balance sheet.
Putting an exact fair value on the real estate is difficult for an outsider. What I do know is that besides supporting the $4.2 billion current equity valuation, the business also has to support $3.1 billion in net debt and has another $2.5 billion in retirement liabilities.
If I want to invest in real estate, I would search for a great REIT and not bet on Sears to liquidate real estate at fair value, if it ever will. The fact that the company has not been able to turn around itself in eight years says it all, while Lampert remains in control.
I would not touch the shares at the moment.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

His first marriage was to my mothers, mother, to whom he then divorced.
Might it be possible for me to just send these two papers to confirm my mothers heritage?
I don't want to be ordering certificates that are not relevant to to my application as of course this will become expensive and they will never be used. He also, being the male of the relationships, will never have changed his name throughout his life, therefore these certificates will have no bearing on his name.
How many certificates do you think i can get away with sending for the application?

Shares of Outerwall (NASDAQ:OUTR), the parent company of Coinstar and Redbox, have risen dramatically since a strategic investment from Jana Partners. Despite this rise, shares continue to look compelling going forward with the strength of new initiatives, Redbox Instant, and the focus on returning cash to shareholders.
Jana Partners acquired a 13.5% stake in the company. At the time of its purchase, Jana said it was seeking "strategic alternatives that include selling part or all of the company."
Redbox Instant
I have written several pieces on the importance of Redbox Instant for Outerwall. The new streaming business puts Redbox in better competition with rival Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). The joint venture, which is 65% owned by Verizon (NYSE:VZ), tries to cater to an audience that wants streaming options and movies at the kiosk.
Recently, Outerwall announced its Redbox Instant service will now be available on Sony's (NYSE:SNE) Playstation 3. For $8 a month, gamers can now get unlimited streaming and also four DVDs at local Redbox kiosks. In the release, Redbox Instant is said to offer 7000 movies on its streaming service. The four rentals come from any of the company's 43,000+ kiosks. When I wrote about Redbox Instant in December, the company was kicking off its launch with 4600 titles. Now, the company is on its way to double the number of streaming options and make the $8 monthly fee an extreme value.
Thanks in large part to the shadow of Jana Partners on it, Outerwall is boosting its share buyback program. The company recently said, "Given the needs of the business and the strength of our cash flows, we believe it is appropriate to return 75-100% of free cash flows to Outerwall shareholders, which in the near term will be in the form of share repurchases."
In the third quarter, Outerwall bought back $23.6 million worth of its own shares. Now through nine months, Outerwall has purchased $95.0 million worth of company stock. With the new plan, the company expects to buy $150 million worth of shares, with $100 million coming in the fourth quarter, and $50 million coming in quarter one of next year. At current prices in the $67 range, $150 million would retire 2.2 million shares and reduce Outerwall's share count by around 8%.
Of course by saying free cash flow given as share buybacks in the near term leads way to the debate of a dividend. Like rival Netflix, Outerwall does not offer a quarterly dividend. With Jana Partners owning a large stake, there is the possibility the company could push Outerwall to issue a dividend payment. However, the activist investor may be just as happy with share buybacks. My guess is the company will pay a quarterly dividend by the end of 2014.
One suggestion with Jana Partners' investment is a break-up of Outerwall's businesses. The company generates a large portion, north of 85%, of revenue from its Redbox business. The other portion of revenue comes from Coinstar and the company's New Ventures segment. Many believe Jana may push for a sale of Coinstar and could possibly push for a sale or closure of other Outerwall kiosk businesses.
I wrote about the company's push into coffee with its Rubi kiosks. Outerwall also acquired the ecoATM kiosk business and has been rapidly expanded the presence of the electronics recycler throughout the country. There are now 800 ecoATM kiosks, as reported at the end of the third quarter. With testing currently taking place in grocery channels and malls, I'm hoping ecoATM continues to be a focus for Outerwall, as I think it is a great way to capitalize on the current technology shift and ever-changing product launches from companies.
Strong Third Quarter
Outerwall recently reported stellar third quarter earnings. The company posted earnings per share of $0.97, which came in $0.09 ahead of most analysts' estimates. Quarterly revenue of $587.4 million also beat analysts' estimates by $10.1 million.
The company's quarterly revenue broke down as:
· Redbox: $491.7 million
· Coinstar: $79.6 million
· New Ventures: $16.0 million
Total Redbox rentals were up 13.1% and hit a new quarterly record with 199.5 million.
Share Valuation
Analysts on Yahoo Finance are projecting modest 5% revenue growth for both the current and next fiscal year. Earnings per share are expected to increase 3% to $4.98 for current fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2014, analysts see earnings per share jumping 6% to $5.32. With a price of $67.72 at the time of writing, Outerwall shares are trading with current and forward price to earnings ratios of 13.6 and 12.7 respectively.
Even without share buybacks, shares seem attractive under 15 times forward earnings. However, with the possibility of retiring 8% of the company, earnings per share should be up closer to 10% in the next fiscal year. My estimate would be closer to $5.48 for fiscal 2014 earnings. With a forward multiple of 15x, shares would be valued at $82.17.
I am curious to see what Jana Partners will do with Outerwall. The company was hurt by declining DVD rentals, but seems to have the problem fixed with streaming options, and other kiosk businesses. The promise to return so much free cash flow to shareholders should be a huge bullish sign that Outerwall is willing to play with Jana Partners. Stay tuned to see what Jana wants to change in the company, but consider investing along with Jana to be pleasantly rewarded.

Value-at-risk under extreme values: the relative performance in MENA emerging stock markets
Purpose – The paper aims to investigate the relative performance of the most popular value-at-risk (VaR) estimates with an emphasis on the extreme value theory (EVT) methodology for seven Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries. Design/methodology/approach – The paper calculates tails distributions of return series by EVT. This allows computing VaR and comparing the results with Variance-Covariance method, Historical simulation, and ARCH-type process with normal distribution, Student-t distribution and skewed Student-t distribution. The paper assesses the performance of the models, which are used in VaR estimations, based on their empirical failure rates. Findings – The empirical results demonstrate that the return distributions of the MENA markets are characterized by fat tails which implies that VaR measures relies on the normal distribution will underestimate VaR. The results suggest that the extreme value approach, by modeling the tails of the return distributions, are more relevant to measure VaR in most of the MENA. Research limitations/implications – The results show that the use of conventional methodologies such as the normal distribution model to estimate the financial market risk in MENA countries may lead to faulty estimation of risk in the world of volatile markets. Originality/value – The paper tried to fill the gap in the literature and perform an evaluation of the relative performance of the most popular VaR estimates with an emphasis on the EVT methodology in seven MENA emerging stock markets. A comparison of the performance between EVT and other VaR techniques should support the decision whether more or less sophisticated methods are appropriate in order to assess stock market risks in the MENA countries.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV)--Many people trying to sign up for insurance Monday couldn't get past the "please wait screen."
"You can't get any further," said Brittany Teresinski.
At Partnership Community Health Center in Appleton they had to turn away dozens of patients eager to sign up for insurance because of the website glitches.
With the deadline to sign up closing in they say it's frustrating.
"Especially today. This is really important for individuals that haven't even started anything yet. You need to get in the system. This is technically the last day to enroll if you haven't at least started an application process," said Teresinski.
The deadline to complete an application has been extended to April 7th, but you have to attest that you've attempted to sign up by 11 o'clock tonight.
So what should you do if you can't log on?
"We're telling everybody to just hold on. We're trying to make our best effort to get people to at least determine them," said Maria Vargas.
As problems continue to plague the website, staff at Partnership worry about enrolling people in time.
"We're already working overtime and I have a feeling we're going to have to make some adjustments and work later hours," Teresinski said.
To help accommodate the influx of people they have extended their hours and are now open on Saturday from 9-12 p.m.
