Jobs & the Economy
Washington state continues to recover from the economic downturn, but both the quantity and quality of jobs remain cause for concern. The share of people unable to find work remains historically high. In addition, there has been a substantial increase in the number of people working part-time due to a lack of job opportunities, and the majority of jobs in Washington state skew toward lower wages.
Our economy is different now, requiring new skills to keep workers competitive in a global job market. In the fast-paced, ever changing 21st century economy, we can't afford to leave anyone behind. Future prosperity depends on how well Washington state embraces change and develops policies that support workers and their families moving forward.

lunch today
i made the Red Pepper Beet Soup for lunch today and it was a HUGE hit! i recommend it to everyone trying to eat healthier. (especially for husbands that don't eat enough veggies)…
a few notes on the recipe:
*i skipped the oregano (because i didn't have any)
*i garnished with parsley, but we didn't like this so skip it!
*i forgot to add lemon juice at the end. i'll try it next time i make this soup, but we didn't miss it.
*sprinkle with lots of goat cheese – it really adds to the flavor!
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes
i found this recipe on The Nesting Project and i think my toddler is going to LOVE it! i cannot wait to make these for her
4 large sweet potatoes
6 oz mascarpone
2 oz unsalted butter
1/2 cup Pecorino Romano Cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Bake sweet potatoes at 350 degrees for about 45 – 50 minutes or until cooked through. Take out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut potatoes in half and then scoop out the sweet potato (leave the skin and shell) and put in a mixing bowl with mascarpone, butter, cheese and salt and pepper. Use a potato masher and mix the sweet potato mixture together. Add back into the potato skin with a spoon (or put in a piping bag with a large tip) Bake at 350 degrees for another 20 minutes.
Traditional Pan de Muerto
i found this recipe on one of my favorite blogs, spanglishbaby.com. it is so delicious and definitely on my list of recipes!
Pan de muertos (Spanish for Bread of dead ones) (also called pan de los muertos, or bread of the dead) is a type of bread traditionally baked in Mexico during the weeks leading up to the Día de los Muertos, which is officially celebrated on November 1. It is a soft bread shaped like a bun with bone-like pieces. Day of the Dead bread is eaten on Dia de los Muertos. On Dia de Los Muertos, everyone eats at the gravesite.

*1/2 tsp. anise seed (optional)
*plus 1 egg for a wash, and extra sugar for dusting
In a large bowl combine milk, yeast, orange zest, 1/4 c. flour and 1 Tbs. sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes, then add the three gently beaten eggs.
In a separate bowl combine 3 3/4 c. flour, 3/4 c. sugar, salt, cinnamon and anise. Add this flour mixture to the wet mixture, kneading with you hands (at this point the dough will feel very sticky, kned until it is only slightly sticky. You may add an extra teaspoon of flour at a time if needed.)
Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. Add the butter to the dough working it until fully incorporated. Shape into a ball, grease and lightly flour. Place in bowl and cover with a damp towl to rise for 2 hours.
Separate dough into 6 parts. Shape 5 into balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Decorate the tops of the rolls with the remaining dough by rolling the dough into coils and strips that look like bones.
Allow the bread to rise for an additional hour in a warm place. brush tops of bread with egg white and dust with sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Japan's Reforestation Problem: Leeches
"What to make of this leech fest?...Japan's remarkable reforestation record is hardly a new phenomenon. In fact, Japan has reforested itself twice -- once dating back to the 1600s, and again after World War II. Likewise, Japan's demographic woes have been a hot topic for years. Japan's population of 127 million has peaked, and some estimates predict the total will drop to 95 million by 2050.
The most dramatic decline is occurring in rural Japan where the few young people who are actually being born are abandoning the countryside for the city. Which means, according to Asahi Shimbun, that not only are local forests thriving, but that the buffer areas between inhabited regions and the forest are being neglected. The ensuing profusion of weedy growth attracts animals whose numbers are increasing because of hunting restrictions and warm winters. The leeches latch on to the beasties and go for a ride, looking for more fresh meat.
Japan's success at reforestation offers an encouraging model to the rest of the world. Likewise, its imminent population decline suggests that humanity isn't necessarily doomed to perish under the weight of its own numbers. But even so, as a metaphor for the kind of unexpected, and unwelcome, manifestations likely to result from human mismanagement of the world's natural resources, a plague of bloodsucking leeches is not too shabby."

Rio declare financial emergency, admit problems with Olympics
The state has delayed some pension and salary payments since late last year, also closing schools and medical facilities that lacked vital supplies
The Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro has declared a financial "calamity," and acknowledged problems in "honouring commitments" of the Olympic Games scheduled to begin August 5.
The declaration published in the Official Gazette Friday said the country's second wealthiest state faces "a grave economic crisis" attributed to a sharp falloff in tax revenues.
The crisis "is impeding the state from honouring its commitments in hosting the 2016 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games," interim governor Francisco Dornelles acknowledged.
The official decree will allow the state government to adopt extraordinary measures in order to provide the necessary public services and cover the costs.
It warned that not doing so could risk "the total collapse of public security, health, education, transportation and care of the environment."
A decree of "public calamity" provides a "blank check" for regional authorities to draw emergency loans from the central government without approval by the National Assembly, according to Luiz Paulo, president of the state legislature's revenue commission.
"The state will be able to access resources from the central government or private banks regardless of its debt limits," Paulo was quoted as saying by Rio newspaper Extra.
"It's a blank check for three months."
The latest crisis comes on top of various problems that have plagued preparations for the first Olympic Games ever to be held in South America.
There are growing concerns over public safety, with rising rates of robberies and shootouts between criminal gangs and police on the streets. An epidemic of the Zika virus, and contamination of public water supplies, are not expected to be resolved in time for the Games, either.
The state has delayed some pension and salary payments since late last year, also closing schools and medical facilities that lacked vital supplies.

The Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN) imposes a travel ban to the United States, the freezing of all Yakunin's U.S. assets, and a ban on business transactions between American citizens and corporations and Yakunin and any businesses he owns.[19][20][21][22][23][24] The Australian Government announced on 19 March 2014 that it would impose a sanctions regime in response to the Russian threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Retired from Russian Railways[edit]
In August 2015, media reports said Yakunin has retired as head of Russian Railways, but in October, further reports suggested he had been dismissed. Russian and British media have alleged that Yakunin's dismissal was a direct result of his son Andrey Yakunin's decision to apply for UK citizenship.[25]
Sets Up International Think Tank[edit]
In October 2015 during the Rhodes Forum Yakunin announced[26] that he was working on setting up an international think-tank.[27] This think tank will be tasked[28] with searching for solutions to pressing issues and developing proposals to reduce tensions worldwide.

After a lengthy investigation, Ann Abraham, the parliamentary ombudswoman, ruled in favour of the publication of a memo recording the two men's conversation at a private breakfast in Downing St during sensitive contract negotiations with his company.
Following the refusal, the information commissioner, Richard Thomas, who has legal powers to order disclosure, will be asked to investigate.
It is the second time that the prime minister has refused to comply with an "open government" ruling. He and his ministers continue to defy final rulings that they should disclose their private financial interests, leading Ms Abraham to call their behaviour "lamentable".
This week, in a letter to the Guardian, she described the new refusal from Mr Blair as "disappointing".
The government has fought for more than three years to keep secret the exact circumstances of how the big Labour donor made an estimated £20m profit by winning a lucrative health department contract for his vaccine company, Powderject.
Paul Drayson gave a second donation of £50,000 to the Labour party while the government was weighing up who should be awarded the £32m contract. Last year he gave another £500,000 donation to Labour, and was made a life peer by Mr Blair.
Downing St is seeking to conceal minutes of the breakfast, attended by Lord Drayson and a small group of other executives in December 2001.
At the time, the government was engaged in a purchase of smallpox vaccine following the September 11 attacks. Shortly after the meeting, the government decided to award the vaccine contract to Powderject.
Favoured business people are asked to Downing St for what are termed "business breakfasts". The Guardian requested records of the meeting under the voluntary "open government" code, which preceded the bringing into full force of the government's Freedom of Information Act.
Ms Abraham said: "I consider that very little harm would be caused by the release of the comments attributed to [Lord Drayson] and that any potential harm is outweighed by the public interest in making that information available."
Her report to the Guardian also reveals that the government claims to have shredded documents that could have revealed why Lord Drayson received the invitation from Downing St. The Cabinet Office said: "Any other relevant documents had been routinely weeded and destroyed in accordance with their normal records management and destruction policy".
In conveying the government's refusal to accept her ruling, Colin Balmer, the managing director of the Cabinet Office, said: "Disclosure of the information would be harmful to a free and frank exchange of views between government and outside stakeholders."
He said that "regardless of the sensitivity of the information in this particular case... it was not in the public interest to release this information, on the grounds that advice to government should be broadly based and that there may be a deterrent effect on external experts or stakeholders to provide advice in the future if they knew that it might be disclosed in the future".

The Electoral Commission revealed that the anti-EU party received £251,750 in the first three months of this year. The Conservatives were given £2,645,283, while Labour got £2,546,400 and the Liberal Democrats £947,262.
The news of large donations follows a poll putting the UKIP ahead of the Lib-Dems in the forthcoming Euro-elections. Former TV presenter Robert Kilroy-Silk is the party's candidate in the East Midlands-while actress Joan Collins is now its patron.
After the UKIP, the Scottish National Party received £115,069, the Greens £36,646 and the British National Party £26,014.
The Electoral Commission figures also show that Tory mayoral candidate Steve Norris has raised £455,000 this year, with £100,000 coming from Reading FC chairman John Madejski.
Ken Livingstone and Simon Hughes are not registered as individual-recipients and their donationsare included in their party's overall funding.
The bulk of Labour's donations came from trade unions, with large individual gifts from Europhile City financier Derek Tullett, who gave £100,000, and Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart who gave £50,000.
The Conservatives' largest backer was corporate financier George Magan, a regular donor, who gave £400,000.
Companies giving large sums to the Tories included Intercapital Private Group Ltd - owners of spread-betting operation City Index - which gave £200,000.

Ben Benedict, Beth Brizel and Bernadette Coggins are campaigning to fill two open spots on the Kyrene School District Governing Board. Rae Waters and Patrick McGill are leaving, as their terms end in December 2010. The candidates took time out of their busy schedules to speak with the AFN.
Benedict received a Bachelor of Science degree from Northern Arizona University. He became a certified public accountant in 1996. He also received his Juris Doctorate degree from California Western School of Law and became a member of the State Bar of Arizona. He is a founding partner of Benedict and Martin, P.L.L.C., which focuses on Estate Planning, Probate and Trust Administration. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What made you decide to run in the first place?
My wife and I specifically moved to the Kyrene School District because we knew it was a great district. I believe in volunteerism and I have skills that I think could help out the school board.
How has your work experience prepared you for a position on the governing board?
I was a professional certified public accountant so I understand the financial aspect. I'm not unfamiliar with budgets. I am a licensed and practicing attorney so I can read complicated documents, sift through them and analyze them.
How do you see yourself fitting in with the Kyrene Governing Board?
I am collaborative by nature. I don't have an agenda and I work well on a team. The goal in Kyrene is to maximize student achievement and making sure we are fiscally responsible. I want to help continue that trend.
Favorite subject in school and why?
History. That's probably due to when I was in high school. I had a phenomenal history teacher. He taught me a lot about life and learning. And it has stuck with me ever since.
Beth Brizel graduated Magna Cum Laude from California State University Long Beach with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science. She is a past president of the Kyrene del Cielo PTO and Kyrene del Sureno PTO. Brizel owns a small business, Recruiting Connection, and was a team coordinator for the Kyrene chapter of Stand for Children. Her website is www.Beth4Kyrene.com.
What made you decide to run in the first place?
I have been thinking about it for awhile. My son goes to Corona del Sol and I have a daughter at Aprende Middle School. They are a little older, and now I have a little more time. I waited until I had the time to devote to it.
How has your work experience prepared you for a position on the governing board?
I have always been very involved in classroom. I have been president of two PTOs and I see the difference in schools that have parental participation. I've seen what teachers need and what they can afford with budget constraints. I have seen what the teachers have gone through and I think I can relate to them.
How do you see yourself fitting in with the Kyrene Governing Board?
I think it would be a good group. Rae Waters, who is leaving, asked me to run. And I interact well with the other members, too.
Favorite subject in school and why?
History and government. Definitely my favorite subjects and they motivated me throughout my education.
Bernadette Coggins received a Bachelor of Arts from Arizona State University in 1995. She has been a part of many different Valley organizations such as Phoenix Children's Hospital, East Valley Boys Service Club and the Tempe YMCA as a member of the board of directors. She has been a part of the Kyrene Middle School PTO since 2008. Her website is www.Coggins4Kyrene.com.
What made you decide to run in the first place?
I grew up here, and had a great public education myself. I went to Dobson High School and have lived in Kyrene for 16 years. I felt very blessed because I had great teachers. I feel it is a personal duty to give back to the community and feel that every child deserves a quality education.
How has your work experience prepared you for a position on the governing board?
I feel that I have a comprehensive understanding of the district. I've been on PTOs and I am currently on the Parent Superintendent Council. I think I have a valid voice because of experience. I know and understand when parents are talking about the different programs in Kyrene. I'm very active in community and very rooted in the community.
How do you see yourself fitting in with the Kyrene Governing Board?
I think it'll be a great fit. I think they do a great job. Rob Ross, he's a great community guy. Michelle Hirsch does a good job connecting with teachers and she's a good role model. I look forward to learning a lot from Ellen Shamah. In the current board, I would be a great fit with my community connections and the expertise that comes from being an involved mom in the district.
Favorite subject in school and why?
English and language arts. I've always loved literature.

She's sort of a mix between a thin falcon/wolf type creature. Her feathers are mostly very very pale whites, with some grey and blue...and some white ones with blue tips Her wings are long and thin She carries a rod around with a torch on the top. Every day she travels to the sun to collect a flame, then travels back to the moon with it. On the way back the rod is usually changed from gold to silver, and the flame becomes white. She then lights the moon with it at night. If the flame stays golden, when she lights the moon, it becomes gold in colour and she transforms Becomes somewhat of a phoenix type myth figure. The only thing that really changes is her colour scheme...but it's kinda neat... Her fathers and beak turn golden... The blue feathers remain the same and her eyes turn to a deep blue.

She's like...a white horse mostly... Silky silver mane...pale gold eyes..

Mining Publication: Measurement of Airflow in a Simulated Underground Mine Environment Using an Ultrasonic Anemometer
Original creation date: January 2004
Federal regulations require that methane liberated at the face be diluted and removed to maintain methane gas concentrations below 1% in working places and intake air courses (30 CFR 75.323(b)(ii)). The delivery and distribution of intake air at the face is critical for effective face ventilation. Improved techniques for monitoring the movement of intake air to the face are needed. A test system was developed and a computer program was written for using a three-axis ultrasonic anemometer to measure airflow in a simulated mine entry. Results of tests conducted in the entry showed that the anemometer is a valuable tool for measuring mine airflow conditions near the face.

Wired Report Finds That Some App Reviewers Ask for Money
A report by Wired.com finds that some iPhone app review sites have asked for money in return for "expedited" or even plain reviews of their applications.
Wired's Brain Chen notes that there is a market for paid reviews; with over 150,000 apps in the Apple iTunes App Store, it's tough to get noticed. But some developers nevertheless object to paying for a review, and have questioned the sites' journalistic integrity.
"They prey on people who need exposure," said Oliver Cameron, developer of the popular iPhone app Postman, who has avoided pitching his apps to sites that request payment for reviews. "It strikes me as a paid ad, really. They never seem to actually 'review' it."

It is not yet the largest, but it is the most diverse and worldwide listing of practitioners who have trained directly with Moshe Feldenkrais or one of his students. Yes, I am talking about "Feldenkrais Finder" where you can go to find practitioners worldwide: http://feldenkraisfinder.com
Listings are free for practitioners (very small charge for trainings) and will be free until the site is large enough to be a comprehensive resource for the public.
Mia Segal from MBS Academy has a training listed: MBS Academy Foundation Training as does Frank Wildman: Feldenkrais Professional Training Program Eugene, Oregon.
If you would like to list a training, just click here to register and then create one.
Many Anat Baniel Method and Feldenkrais Guild practitioners have listed their weekly ATM classes and workshops on the site: Feldenkrais Classes. Once you have created your own account, you can do the same. The IFF Distribution Center has a listing as does Feldenkrais Trainer Jeff Haller
Several practitioners have paid a few dollars to have their free listing featured. However, they did not know that I was going to feature them here and Facebook putting them in front of several thousand more people. A shout out to:
Hans Holter Solhjell Feldenkrais in Oslo, Marlene Kennedy in Canada: Your Body Tells The Truth
By the way, some of you who view me as a foaming-at-the-mouth-lunatic (hi mom!) out to destroy the Feldenkrais Guild or whatever. Take heart: Feldenkrais Finder is an ideology-free website. It's purpose is to raise the profile of the method and practitioners worldwide in all of our diversity. Any political muckraking that I do (or do not) will be on ryannagy.com/feldenkrais
Why Get A Feldenkrais Finder Listing?
- Get a higher google ranking
- Get more students and clients
- Feel the pride of joining a diverse group of such amazing people
- See for yourself – and let the public see – how large and international this community is.

Neil Young Cover Show! Five Awesome Neil Covers (and Bonus Crazy Horse Live Footage)
Forget the flu. This autumn, the germ du jour is Neil Young Fever. The highly esteemed classic-rock singer/songwriter is fucking everywhere. Festivals, New York Times, New York Times magazine, on NPR, and, believe it or not, in Delray Beach.
OK, that last one isn't entirely true. Young will not be appearing in Delray. But his music will, courtesy of a tribute set by Palm Beach County covers musician Jason Colannino, whose repertoire also includes Jimmy Buffett, Paul Simon, and James Taylor.
Neil Mania 2k12 does not come without good reason. Young and his beloved backing band, Crazy Horse -- who recently released the all-traditional folk album Americana -- are about to drop their second record of the year, Psychedelic Pill.
For complete info on the upcoming Neil Young Tribute and some more Neil-related content, check the jump.

5. Rachel Goodrich - "Tell Me Why"
Let's kick things off with a little local flavor. Rachel Goodrich's rendition of "Tell Me Why" centers around the singer's signature coy whisper and cleverly rearranged vocal melodies.
4. Of Montreal - "Harvest Moon"
These days, Of Montreal falls somewhere between "indie pop" band and Broadway musical adaptation of 54. But this beautifully spare cover of "Harvest Moon" harks back to the band's early acoustic material and is a beautifully faithful rendition that makes its own mark on the song.
3. Built to Spill - "Cortez the Killer"
Speaking of "indie" anything, Neil Young invented it. All of it. OK, he didn't invent punk, but he did sing about Johnny Rotten on Rust Never Sleeps.
2. Pearl Jam - "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World"
This video is so ridiculously '90s that we're able to put down the Haterade -- Pearl Jam sucks, and this is Neil's worst single -- and appreciate some mud-caked knuckleheads pogoing in a field.
1. Nicolette Larson - "Lotta Love"
Larson and Young go back to Neil's Harvest album, on which Nicolette was part of a huge ensemble cast of players. Her take on this cut from Comes a Time is bigger than the original. One might even argue it's the definitive rendition.
Bonus: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - "Psychedelic Pill"/"Mr. Soul"
Goddamn it! Neil Young and Crazy Horse are old as shit, but they still kick more ass than 90 percent of the Dubstep Macbook Pros and assorted other Butt Music specialists they've been playing alongside recently at various festivals like Red Rocks (video above).
Give us the pill, Neil! We're ready!!

6th Wolf Regulars (Clan Wolf)
Sarna News
|6th Wolf Regulars Cluster
|Unit Profile (as of 3085)
|Parent Formation
|Iota Galaxy
Formed after the Refusal War from new sibko cadets that failed their initial Trial of Position, but performed well enough to warrant a second chance in a garrison unit. The Cluster serves as a training ground for the 3rd Wolf Guard Battle Cluster and exceptional warriors are transferred to that unit.[1] The two Clusters often performed joint practice exercises. [2] In 3059 the Cluster was split to defend both Ferleiten and Engadin.[3]. In 3067 the Cluster had settled into a garrison post on Seiduts. [4]
The Cluster saw very little action against Clan Hell's Horses. During the Jihad the Sixth formed part of the Coalition forces assigned to the Combine Thrust, and took part in the liberation of Quentin. After this battle the following years were relatively uneventful and it was moved to garrison La Grave, a planet that Clan Wolf took from the Falcons in 3070.[5] In the early 3080s the cluster was engaged in suppressing local resistance groups within the Wolf Occupation Zone[6] and by 3085 they had moved to Wheel. [7]
The commanding officer in 3059 was Star Colonel Rhyssa.[1] By 3067 she had earned the Bloodname of Carns.[4] In 3085 the commander was Star Colonel Luca Carns. [7]
Star Colonel Rhyssa favored maneuver-based tactics, especially flanking attacks. However her inexperienced warriors found it difficult to coordinate such attacks. [1]
Composition History[edit]
- (4 Trinaries/Regular/Questionable)
- In 3067 80% of their material is older Star League era models.[1]
- In 3079 the Cluster was at 70% strength, [5] and by 3085 they were at 80%.[7]
- The Cluster has never been outfitted with OmniMechs.
May use off map movement but at twice the normal cost in time. These units return in the Initiative Phase and my move and fire in that turn as per normal rules.[8]

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a phenomenal company whose potential never ceases to amaze. The last 14 years it has been a success story that is virtually incomparable.
Who would we compare Apple to? Perhaps we'd have to combine companies like Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) and Research-In-Motion (RIMM) to find a fair comparison.
Take a look at a chart of the stock prices of all three of the above mentioned companies. There's no doubt that Apple literally rises above the competition here as well.
Friday, the Wall Street Journal (according to a CNN Money- Fortune story posted) reported that Apple joined the bidding war for the telephony patents put up for sale when the Canadian telecommunication equipment maker Nortel went bankrupt two years ago. The story claims that more than 6,000 patents are at stake, covering some of the key underlying technologies of mobile communications, including Wi-Fi, social networking and LTE, the fourth-generation wireless technology now being deployed.
Among the other companies competing for Nortel's patents are Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), which is no surprise, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Ericcson (NASDAQ:ERIC), and a little-known patent licensing company named RPX Corp. (NASDAQ:RPXC).
Google started the bidding at $900 million, but it is widely anticipated that it will soon go much higher, especially with Apple in the mix. Apple has a great wealth of patents in PC and user-interface technologies, but in mobile telephony it's a newcomer compared with companies like Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and Nortel.
Maybe Apple's appetite to buy and acquire is part of the reason the stock again took a hit on Friday. It spent most of the day struggling to maintain that all-important $320 per share support level. This, while things are looking grim for one of its competitors.
Research In Motion Limited saw its shares fall to a new 52-week low Friday after the recent disappointing quarterly report and guidance by the company's leadership. Apple-- arguably the most valuable, well-managed, and under-valued of the major large caps-- has "eaten" Research In Motion's "lunch".
Could it be feasible that Apple might be considering a way to "finish RIMM off" through an investment or an acquisition? It's an interesting possibility. If that were to happen it would open a door for Apple to acquire what's left of Research In Motion's business formula. A joint venture or an acquisition of Research In Motion by Apple would open the way for Apple to reach and win over a customer base that otherwise might not be interested.
It's a bit of a stretch to imagine enough synergies between these two tech companies to envision the above.
Yet I thought the same thing back in the 90s, when Bill Gates of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) invested money in Apple when Steve Jobs took back the helm of the company. So I wouldn't rule out some kind of possible coup by Apple. Apple has a brilliant and well-conceived way of making large inroads into its competitors' "turf".
Research In Motion's business-oriented customers could be another "prize" Apple could target. That could help Apple to take a huge leap forward in acquiring more business and commercial accounts.
Other possible competitors for Research In Motion that are big enough to afford them are IBM (NYSE:IBM) as well as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).
Another company Apple might want to pursue is Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). AMD has the potential to gain business in both the desktop and notebook computer processor market, as well as making great strides in doing what it does well. If analysts and the company's own projections for sales and revenue growth in the second half of the year turn out to be correct, this could also make AMD a delectable take-out target.
AMD, while selling at somewhere between 8 and 9 times forward earnings, also has some lousy debt issues. It sells at a shaky total-debt-to-equity ratio of almost 144. Ouch! So although it has $1.74 billion in total cash, it has total debt (mrq) of $2.24 billion. In the most recent quarter it posted earnings growth (year-over-year) of over 98%. It has a respectable profit margin of over 11%, and as the analysts pointed out, it should grow its business in the second half of 2011 in both the desktop and notebook computer market.
It would be a financially possible feat for Apple to use some of its $66 billion in cash and cash equivalents to swallow AMD with its $5 billion market cap company. Apple's market cap is still north of $296 billion.
Why shouldn't AAPL own and operate its own microprocessor chip company, with its ingenious ways of marketing and growing? It could pay for it in money-saved and profits within 6 months at the rate that Apple is making money.
Apple is no doubt the "800 pound gorilla" in the future of the technology sector, especially in the smartphone and tablet mega-businesses. That's why it surprised very few that the company joined the bidding war for the telephony patents put up for sale by bankrupt Nortel. Steve Jobs and company have other surprises up their sleeve-- no doubt, and in time these will invariably benefit Apple shareholders. Those shareholders own a cash-rich company selling at ridiculously under-priced 11X times forward earnings. It's growing more apparent that Apple is on the cusp of revealing more strategies to grow its company, earnings and its total cash.
Disclosure: I am long AAPL, HPQ, INTC.
Additional disclosure: Last Thursday I bought more AAPL at $324, and I may "double-down" if it falls below $300 before the "summer rally" begins.If INTC goes "on sale" below $20 I'll buy another portion as I love their dividend history.
