Shares of Gap (GPS) were up more than 2% in after-hours trading, after it announced a new share repurchase plan and dividend.
The new $1 billion repurchase plan follows a previous one half that size, announced in mi-October. According to the press release, Gap has bought back more than $7 billion in stock since the start of 2010.
Gap also said it would boost its annual dividend from 88 cents a share to 92 a share, the sixth straight year its raised its payout. The first quarterly dividend will be distributed in April.
At present, Gap shares yield 2.1%.
The stock has suffered of late, and is in the red for the past year, a period that saw the S&P 500 rise 14%. The stock hit a 52-week low in October.
Shares of Ensco (ESV) tumbled more than 8% on Thursday, after it announced a dividend cut, overshadowing its better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings.
Ensco said it would pay a dividend of 15 cents a share, down from a previous 75 cents a share, to "improve capital management flexibility." The company also said it was decreasing its offshore employee base to cut costs as oil prices remain low.
Credit Suisse's Gavin Lewis maintained a Neutral rating on the stock, but lowered his estimates on the news, writing it's not what he hoped for:
ESV is now yielding 2.3%. While we had our concerns about the long-term sustainability of the dividend (market is that bad), we had thought a lower dividend would be a 2H15/1H16 event. Management is also reducing head count – not the sign of a V shaped recovery.
Gimme Credit's Philip Adams downgraded his rating on the stock to 0 from +1, writing "A severe downturn in the offshore drilling market has resulted in ESV going into cash conservation mode, both in terms of expense control and significantly lower capex."
The news comes after Transocean (RIG) cut its dividend earlier this month, the same day it announced the departure of its CEO.
Western Refining (WNR) is rising Thursday, following the company's better-than-expected fourth quarter, while its master limited partnership, Western Refining Logistics (WNRL) also delivered an upbeat quarter.
Cowen & Co.'s Sam Margolin and Jason Gabelman reiterated an Outperform rating and $60 price target on the stock today, writing that they were encouraged by the fact that management reaffirmed the MLP's growth remained on track, with projects slated to begin as far out as 2018.
They noted that this restored confidence in the MLP, along with upcoming dropdowns and favorable refining structure are all positive for the stock.
From their note:
WNRL's share price has lagged competitors by a wide margin in 2015 YTD, weighing on WNR's valuation that includes 66% ownership of WNRL LP units. However, WNR is nearing completion of the Tex-New Mex pipeline, while the Bobcat pipeline remains on schedule. Including potential dropdowns from NTI we see $100MM WNRL EBITDA growth by early 2016. Furthermore, management noted it is working on Permian logistics projects to start-up as far out as 2018 as gathering infrastructure continues to lag. Management's reinforcement of MLP growth, including a 50% target for 3rd party revenues, should restore investor confidence in the logistics infrastructure build-out.
On Wednesday, Lamar Advertising (LAMR) reported a better-than-expected fourth quarter, although its 2015 guidance was light. The shares rallied on the report, but Citigroup thinks the REIT's days of outperformance are over.
Analyst Jason Bazinet lowered his rating on the stock from Buy to Hold. He writes that the move came after Lamar's stock easily outperformed and surged past his $55.50 price target, to the point where he felt necessary to reevaluate its future growth potential:
Top-Line Driven by Digital Growth — Lamar's top-line is driven by three categories: 1) Bulletin (50% of revenue), 2) Poster (20% of revenue) and 3) Digital (20% of revenue). While we believe Bulletin and Poster revenue may only grow low-single digits, we believe Digital can continue to grow ~high-single digits in the upcoming years. All told, we expected Lamar's revenue growth to grow in the low-single digit range for the next few years.
'15 AFFO Guide Achievable but Growth to Moderate — We believe our prior forecast of 6% AFFO growth for 2015 was too low. We are now forecasting 10% AFFO growth driven by mid-single digit EBITDA growth, coupled with lower interest expense and maintenance capex. But, in 2016, we believe AFFO growth will moderate to ~6% absent a further reduction in interest expense or capex.
In all, Bazinet sees modest upside for the stock at present, although he did roll his 13 times multiple forward from this year to next, arriving at a new $61 price target.
The stock hit a new 52-week high yesterday.
Following Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's two-day testimony before Congress, Barclays reiterated its belief that the central bank will raise rates in June, and that the word 'patient' will be dropped from the Fed's language at its March meeting in preparation of this.
Analyst Jonathan Glionna and his team looked to history as a guide and found that stocks tended to do well at the start of a cycle of rising rates. He notes cyclical sectors like energy, industrials and materials have boasted some of the strongest performance in such situations in the past, although investors should avoid momentum strategies.
From his note:
Stocks have done well at the beginning of previous cycles. We analyzed 12 periods since 1954 that begin with an increase in the Fed Funds rate. The typical pattern is for the S&P 500 to produce strong gains heading into the first rate hike, then stall for a few months before resuming a robust advancement.
Earnings tend to keep going up, while PE ratios contract. Equities have historically performed well at the start of a rate hike cycle because earnings momentum more than offsets contraction in price-to-earnings multiples. Earnings have increased on average by 18% in the 12 months after the start of a rate hike cycle.
To this point, Glionna recommends a number of low-momentum stocks in cyclical industries, including Caterpillar (CAT), Emerson Electric (EMR), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), and Occidental Petroleum (OXY).
Invesco's Rob Waldner has a note out today, urging caution on U.S. and European credit, as well as high-yield and emerging market debt.
As for the U.S. and Europe:
While European investment grade credit may be supported by the European Central Bank's (ECB) program of quantitative easing (QE), we believe US investment grade would likely underperform US Treasuries in the current environment, although we believe it has the potential to perform better than riskier assets.
But don't look overseas or to junk bonds for yield without doing your homework thoroughly, he warns, as he is even more cautious on high yield and emerging markets, both sovereign and corporate.
Walder names three main culprits for his concern: Volatility, depressed corporate earnings in the U.S. and the low price of oil. Volatility is on the upswing globally, and while the U.S. has historically been insulated from a good deal of these gyrations, Walder writes that "global factors have some potential to hamper the performance of US credit assets." Meanwhile he sees U.S. corporations likely to turn in disappointing earnings, given global weakness, the strong U.S. dollar, and the turmoil in the energy sector. And speaking of energy, he warns that the effect of low oil prices and a slow recovery in commodities isn't fully priced into the market.
All of which informs his cautious view. He concludes:
The overall environment for risky assets, and particularly for credit, is deteriorating as economic divergence and volatility picks up, in our view. We believe investors should be cautious in taking credit exposures, and that simple broad credit allocations are to be avoided in favor of more directed, idiosyncratic credit opportunities. With volatility comes opportunity, but it is more important than ever for investors to do detailed research to avoid credit accidents that are likely to come with increasing frequency in coming quarters, in our view.
As the European Central Bank prepares to switch to a "helicopter to a B52 as its vehicle of choice for dropping money from the sky," as The Lindsey Group's Peter Boockvar terms it, yields on debt from European nations are reaching new lows.
Boockvar writes:
The Portuguese 10 yr yield is now below the US. Its yield is down by 13 bps to 1.89% vs 1.95% in the US today. Spanish yields are down by 13 bps to just 1.25%, Italy lower by 12 bps to 1.34%. German bund yields are down to .29% and the French 10 yr is at .56%, lower by 5 bps.
Boockvar notes that it's hard to imagine why any bank or pension fund would sell their sovereign bonds to the ECB: "These institutions must own bonds and why sell those bonds that were bought over the past few years and which yield much more than current levels and vs any other alternative."
He writes that central banks have pushed risk premiums down so far that cash yielding zero is now a compelling investment, especially against a backdrop of increasing negative yields. The situation is more frustrating, he argues, as EU economic confidence rose in February. Additionally, Italian business confidence recently spiked to its highest levels since 2002 and German consumer confidence reached its highest levels since 2001—belying the need for more monetary stimulus.
Given the strengthening U.S. economy and Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen's congressional testimony –in which she nudged the market toward thinking about a world in which the central bank would have the ability to raise rates at any meeting—many are expecting a rate hike later this year. This of course is an issue for investors with long-dated bonds, which are usually more sensitive to rate movements.
ProShares has data out today looking at what would happen to a $100,000 bond portfolio with a duration of four years: The estimate that that portfolio could lose $4,000 for every 100 basis point increase to interest rates (although a similar gain would be seen if rates fell by the same amount—a scenario fewer expect). Likewise, a 2% gain (a more drastic rise than most anticipate) could translate into an $8,000 loss.
Shorter duration and floating interest rate bonds are one solution, but this can also come at the cost of upping credit risk. ProShares recommends a hedged strategy that targets zero duration as a compromise for investors facing a world of higher rates.
That said, ProShares is in the business of selling these hedges strategies—namely the ProShares High Yield – Interest Rate Hedged ETF (HYHG) and ProShares Investment Grade – Interest Rate Hedged ETF (IGHG), so it's worth taking their advice with that in mind.
Moody's Investors Service recently put out a report for bondholders in tech companies. Analyst Stephen Morrison and his team take a look at tech companies' covenants, which act to shield investors from the firms engaging in large, debt-financed mergers and acquisitions, which weaken credit quality trigger a credit downgrade.
Leins covenants offer weak protection, Morrison warns, as they still allow companies to take on unlimited debt outside their property, plant, and equipment collateral, but he notes that change of control covenants—that provide investors the option to put back the bonds if a company undergoes a fundamental change in ownership—are fairly good across the sector.
Microsoft (MSFT) and Oracle (ORCL) were among two of the biggest names Moody's looked at. Their summary below:
We consider Microsoft an outlier in this report. Microsoft's bonds lack both a liens covenant and a change of control put option. If Microsoft makes an acquisition and assumes secured debt of the target, the current notes will be subordinated. However, given its Aaa credit rating and size, it's unlikely that Microsoft will become an acquisition target or experience a major shift in control.
Oracle's outstanding notes offer good liens protection as the negative pledge applies to all properties and assets. Oracle's general liens carve-out is based on percentage of net worth (shareholders' equity) at issuance or incurrence, whichever is greater. We consider shareholders' equity a protective formulation because it ties directly to Oracle's profit-generating ability. Although the change of control put option is absent, we consider the risk of a shift in control low, taking into account Oracle's approximately $200 billion market capitalization and its A1 rating.
Morrison warns that Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC), has increased LBO risk (along with CA (CA) and Symantec (SYMC)) although, despite its size, it could be an attractive to private equity investors. Here's his take on bondholders' protections:
CSC's bonds offer relatively protective liens and change of control protection for investors. The liens covenant applies broadly to all assets with a general liens carve-out of 20% consolidated net tangible assets, which is above average. Each of the five standard events triggers the change of control put, but only if there has been a downgrade from two rating agencies. But the downgrade does not have to link to a change of control event to trigger the put.
CA also makes the list of companies with the weakest lean covenants, along with Autodesk (ADSK). Morrison's take on both below:
All of CA's bond indentures provide weak liens and change of control covenant protection. The liens covenant applies only to US principal property. CA's bond issuances maturing in 2018 and 2023 have weaker liens protection than its 2019 bonds. The 2018 bonds' covenant applies to only US PP&E worth more than 0.75% of consolidated net assets and uses a 15% of consolidated net assets carve-out, rather than consolidated tangible assets carve-out. Each of the five standard events triggers the change of control put option, but not if the bonds are rated speculative-grade prior to the change of control period. As a result, the put provides excellent protection, so long as the notes are rated investment-grade, but no protection if they are not.
Bonds issued by Autodesk include a weak liens covenant and a weak change of control covenant. The put's major weakness is that it will not trigger if the bonds are rated high-yield prior to the change of control downgrade period. The put will only trigger if the downgrade is to speculative-grade from investment-grade. Autodesk's liens covenant, like that of most other technology companies, is relatively weak, because it applies only to US PP&E and the basket carve-out uses 15% consolidated net tangible assets.
Earlier this week, Oneok Partners (OKS) lowered its 2015 guidance during its fourth-quarter earnings report.
Credit Suisse's John Edwards and team downgraded the stock from Outperform to Neutral on the reduced guidance, noting that while the move was likely necessary, they see slowing growth on lower capital expenditures.
Highlights from note:
OKS' lowering guidance appears realistic in light of ongoing uncertainty in commodity price recovery. Guidance cuts were more draconian then what we expected though our numbers were within provided ranges. The main surprise was how deep the cap ex cuts that were made for 2015 (57% down to $1.2B mid-point). The deep cap ex cuts mean slowing our distribution growth outlook as we assume the suspended plants are pushed back about 1 year. Together with the continuing weak commodity backdrop, the recent uptick in OKS' stock price suggests total return potential of 19% which is more in-line with our Neutral rated MLPs so we are downgrading OKS.
They maintained their $48 price target. The stock, which hit a 52-week low in late 2014, closed higher on Wednesday.

Chris Iannetta Rumors
Cafardo On Ortiz, Iannetta, Atkins, Lowell
The key to the Rays' success so far has been their pitching staff, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, who praises Tampa Bay for playing so well despite a few slumping bats. Cafardo says that it may be hard for the club to add another piece or two before the trade deadline, since their budget is already maxed out. However, Cafardo acknowledges that with Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena facing free agency, the Rays may go all-out this year and stretch their budget a little in hopes of winning a championship. Here are some of Cafardo's other notes:
- After this season, David Ortiz is probably "done in Boston unless he takes a massive pay cut." Ortiz might have trouble catching on anywhere next year, since there's virtually no market for one-dimensional players, and he may not be willing to accept a role similar to Jason Giambi's in Colorado.
- If Ortiz and Victor Martinez continue to hit, the Red Sox are very unlikely to pursue Chris Iannetta.
- One of the winter's most disappointing new additions has been Garrett Atkins, who is homerless and sports a .221/.261/.283 slash line in 119 plate appearances. The Orioles will have to consider releasing him if he doesn't turn things around.
- The Rangers are looking for a starting pitcher and a productive right-handed bat. A Rangers official tells Cafardo that he'd still love to see Mike Lowell in Texas.
- Cafardo thinks that if the Red Sox fall out of playoff contention and become sellers, they could replenish their farm system, acquiring multiple players for Martinez, Lowell, Ortiz, Adrian Beltre, Marco Scutaro, and Jeremy Hermida. I'm less optimistic than Cafardo about the caliber of talent the Sox could land for most of those guys.

Gammons On Martinez, Lowell, Iannetta
Peter Gammons made one of his regular appearances on WEEI's The Big Show on Friday afternoon to chat about the Red Sox. Matt West has the full transcript, but here are a few of the more pertinent notes….
- David Ortiz's improved play led to a question about Boston's future plans at the DH spot. Gammons thinks that it will depend on if Victor Martinez is willing to re-sign "at a DH price or at a catcher's price. If its a catcher's price I don't think Victor will come back; if its a DH price I think they'll bring him back."
- Along those same lines, Gammons notes that "a DH price" is lower since league-wide, designated hitters are producing fairly average numbers: "The DH has been devalued, there are a lot of 35-, 36-year-olds who used to have the juice of life that don't have it anymore."
- Mike Lowell's agents have told Gammons that eight to ten teams are interested in their client, though Gammons doesn't necessarily believe them. He thinks Lowell will end up being dealt from Boston at some point, though Gammons notes that two possible contenders for his services (the Mets and Rangers) are out of the running given the production of Ike Davis and Vladimir Guerrero, respectively.
- Gammons cites Tampa Bay as a potential destination for Lowell if the Sox end up releasing him. Lowell would split time in a platoon at DH with Hank Blalock.
- In regards to the rumors about Chris Iannetta, Gammons says the Red Sox attempted to acquire the catcher two years ago and "do really love him." A deal could still happen later in the year though Gammons doesn't know if Boston could meet Colorado's trade needs.
Red Sox Monitoring Chris Iannetta
4:12pm: "Talks quickly faded" between the Sox and Rockies about Iannetta, says Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, because Colorado reportedly "wanted 'premium' talent" for the catcher.
6:58am: The Red Sox are monitoring Chris Iannetta's progress in case the Rockies make him available, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. The catcher, who has been linked to the Red Sox for a while, is now in the minors.
Iannetta struggled through 34 plate appearances with the Rockies this year, hitting .133/.235/.333. The 27-year-old's .362/.449/.741 Triple A line should be robust enough to convince any doubters that the last two years were not flukes: Iannetta can hit. The Red Sox have no doubt noticed that Iannetta has thrown out seven of 13 would-be base stealers.
Victor Martinez has struggled at the plate, but he has multi-hit games in three of his last four starts. Backup catcher Jason Varitek has been hitting surprisingly well in limited time. The tandem has limited opponents' running games more effectively of late, nabbing nine of the last 21 baserunners to attempt to steal.
Iannetta, who is under contract through 2012, could be a long-term solution for the Red Sox. Their catchers are producing now, but both Martinez and Varitek hit free agency this winter.
Cafardo's Latest: Padres, Lee, Iannetta, D'Backs
In this week's Baseball Notes column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe praises the Padres for building a roster suited to their home ballpark. Let's take a look at a few other highlights from Cafardo's piece….
- The Padres aren't talking about Adrian Gonzalez at the moment, but according to a GM who has inquired about the slugger, a losing streak might be all it takes for San Diego to reconsider Gonzalez's availability.
- According to multiple scouts, the Cubs would move Derrek Lee if they could. Lee is earning $13MM in the final year of his contract, and also has a no-trade clause.
- Rhode Island native Chris Iannetta acknowledged he'd heard rumors that he could be traded to the Red Sox, but said: "They're just rumors. I don't put any stock in any of that until someone directly involved actually tells me."
- The Diamondbacks may have to think about dealing someone like Kelly Johnson in an attempt to acquire help for their bullpen (7.42 ERA).
- Some managerial speculation: Cafardo thinks that if Joe Torre doesn't return to the Dodgers, he'd fit with the Braves, Mets, or Blue Jays next year, and wonders if the Orioles might consider Davey Johnson to replace Dave Trembley.

The Rockies' Approach To Trade Clauses
The Rockies, known for producing their own talent, have taken an interesting approach to the no-trade clause in several recent contracts. Four examples:
- Aaron Cook's annual salaries increase by $1MM if traded. Many players have one-time assignment bonuses if traded, usually less than a million bucks. Mark Buehrle is one pitcher with a better trade inhibitor than Cook – he gets an extra $1MM per year and an additional year at $15MM is added to his contract.
- Brad Hawpe has a $10MM club option for 2011 with a $500K buyout, but he can void the option if traded. A GM may like the idea of controlling Hawpe through 2011, but only the Rockies have the privilege.
- Chris Iannetta can void his 2013 club option if he's traded before that season. Iannetta is only controlled through '13 if he remains a Rockie, something to keep in mind when tossing around trade scenarios.
- Troy Tulowitzki can void the remainder of his contract if he's traded. His team-friendly deal won't be transferred to another club without his permission. It's probably a moot point, as GM Dan O'Dowd told Tyler Kepner of the New York Times in March he hopes Tulo retires a Rockie.

The Market For Chris Iannetta
Most of the attention this week went to the signing of Ryan Howard, but the strangest move may have been Colorado's decision to send Chris Iannetta to the minor leagues.
Iannetta, 27, had a tremendous 2008, hitting .264/.390/.505 in 407 plate appearances. His numbers dipped somewhat in 2009, falling to .228/.344/.460, but that was still good for an OPS+ of 103, which put him in the upper echelon of hitting catchers. The Rockies clearly thought highly of his future as well, signing him to a three-year, $8.35MM contract this winter, with a 2013 club option.
So why would the team send Iannetta down on the strength of 34 poor plate appearances? And what's more, they did so in favor of Miguel Olivo, who is nearly five years older and has never had a season that approached Iannetta's 2008. It boggles the mind.
But with Iannetta out of favor in Colorado, it is hard to imagine the Rockies wanting to spend $8.35MM over the next three years on their Triple-A catcher. So which teams should have the most interest in Iannetta?
- The Mets make a whole lot of sense as a landing spot. With Rod Barajas and Henry Blanco as the current major league catchers, the future is not planned for behind the plate with either one. Josh Thole is a promising catcher at Triple-A (though off to a slow start), but Iannetta projects to be the far better hitter than Thole, and hitting is Thole's ticket to the big leagues. And the Mets have the money to take a chance on Iannetta's long-term deal: even if he pans out as a backup, that salary doesn't kill them.
- The Red Sox could be a strong contender for Iannetta's services. Obviously, Jason Varitek doesn't figure to be on the roster for the long-term, and the throwing skills of Victor Martinez (just 2 of 29 base stealers thrown out) makes his future at catcher tenuous at best. Martinez is also a free agent after the season. The Red Sox can also afford to take on his salary, even as a backup; Varitek, the backup this season, makes $3MM. But as ESPN's Jayson Stark noted yesterday, the roster becomes a mess if the Sox add a catcher.
- The Royals have Wil Myers as their catcher of the future, but he's currently in Low A ball. Iannetta could bridge the gap, even with Jason Kendall signed through next year.
Of course, plenty of other teams could benefit from the addition of Iannetta. Whoever ends up with Iannetta, the only one likely to regret it is the team trading him.
Cafardo On Suzuki, Cabrera, Griffey, Zambrano
In Nick Cafardo's latest piece for the Boston Globe, he takes an extended look at the Red Sox' early-season catching issues. He reiterates that if David Ortiz's struggles continue, the logical solution is to move Victor Martinez to DH and acquire a catcher. Cafardo names Kurt Suzuki as a player who would intrigue the Sox, since he can hit as well as play defense. Here are a few of Cafardo's other notes:
- Other catchers to keep an eye on for the Sox include Chris Iannetta, Miguel Olivo, Chris Snyder, and even Twins prospect Wilson Ramos, though he'd be costly.
- Cafardo praises the work Miguel Cabrera has put in to improve his image after last year's off-field problems. According to Cafardo, the Tigers "entertained trade proposals for him, but they wanted the farm in return."
- Ken Griffey Jr. is off to a slow start this year, but the Mariners will give him time to work through it. Seattle may eventually have to limit his playing time if his bat doesn't get hot, but would never release him.
- Cafardo is skeptical that the Cubs will be able to trade for a setup man and move Carlos Zambrano back into the rotation in the near future, suggesting the relief market is fairly thin.
- One AL international scout's assessment of Cuban shortstops Jose Iglesias and Adeiny Hechavarria: "Iglesias is certainly the more polished player at this stage, but Hechavarria has more upside…. I'd say Iglesias could play defensively in the big leagues right now, where Hechavarria would need a year or two to refine his game a bit." While the Sox would like to give Iglesias more minor league experience, they could bring him up if something were to happen to Marco Scutaro or Dustin Pedroia.

Rockies Notes: Olivo, Batista
Troy Renck checks in with a couple of Rockies news items, including more contract details for the recently-signed Miguel Olivo:
- Olivo is guaranteed $2.5MM in 2010, as opposed to the initial reports of $2MM. Olivo also has incentives for games started, which Renck believes kick in around the 105 games mark. Should Olivo hit this mark, he'll earn an extra $500K for the season, and his $2.5MM mutual option for 2011 will vest.
- Olivo will compete with Chris Iannetta for playing time in 2010, and according to Olivo's agent, Martin Arburua, the Rockies' philosophy will be a very simple one: "Let the best man win."
- In dealing with the Rockies, Arburua also discussed another of his clients, Miguel Batista. The soon-to-be 39-year-old posted a 4.04 ERA through 71.1 innings for Seattle last season, notching his highest K/9 rate (6.56) since 2003. However, he also posted an ugly 4.92 BB/9, and his FIP on the year checked in at 4.64

Odds & Ends: Phillies, Iannetta, Braves
Links for Tuesday…
- Phillies' GM Ruben Amaro said a lefty reliever and another starter are still on his wish list, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki.
- Troy Renck of The Denver Post provides the details of Chris Iannetta's contract extension. The backstop can void the $5MM club option for 2013 if he is traded anytime before then.
- Braves' GM Frank Wren said he's looking for just "one more small piece" to fill out his club's offensive needs, tweets MLB.com's Mark Bowman. Bowman notes that the Braves need a primary pinch hitter.
- Adrian Beltre will take his physical on Thursday, tweeted Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports.
- Joel Sherman of The New York Post provides some thoughts on the Mets' deal with Jason Bay. He notes that the team's scouts "contend Bay is a better defender than (Matt) Holliday," despite what the metrics and people outside the organization say.
- The Giants designated defensively-skilled shortstop Brian Bocock for assignment to make room for Juan Uribe, tweets Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.
- ESPN's Keith Law sees "very little downside" for the Red Sox with the Adrian Beltre deal. He notes that Boston's defense should be terrific this year. Dave Cameron of FanGraphs says Beltre is "in the conversation of the best defensive third baseman of all time." WEEI's Rob Bradford says the Red Sox considered signing Beltre after the '04 season, and even discussed trying him at shortstop. Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe says Beltre is, at the least, an upgrade over Casey Kotchman.
- Ken Davidoff of Newsday feels the Mets could raise payroll in 2011, so they won't be limited because of Jason Bay's contract. By the way, Bradford has the transcript from Bay's press conference today.
- Maury Brown of The Biz of Baseball notes that the ten-day arbitration-filing period begins today. MLB.com's Doug Miller highlights the biggest eligible names.
- ESPN's Buster Olney suggests the Giants and Mets have been the slowest to adapt to advanced stats. He also notes that the proliferation of better defensive metrics could greatly benefit Carl Crawford as a free agent next offseason.
- MLB.com's Brian McTaggart talked to Astros GM Ed Wade, who said the trade market isn't great because of all the remaining free agents. Also, Wade is focused on one-year deals for arbitration-eligible players such as Michael Bourn, Wandy Rodriguez, and Hunter Pence.
- With Matt Holliday inching toward a large contact with the Cardinals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch looks at other $100MM deals given to outfielders.
- MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone has a summary of Peter Gammons' appearance on WFAN this morning.
- R.J. Anderson of DRays Bay interviewed Dan Feinstein, the Rays' Director of Baseball Operations.

I'm looking to make a vegan African peanut stew with yams. Just wondering if anyone has a great recipe or suggestions as to what type of bread or side to serve with it?
This vegan yam/peanut soup has become a standard in my kitchen, from the Rebar cookbook (a restaurant in Victoria, BC): http://www.food.com/recipe...
I thought Merrill had posted one after her honeymoon, but could not find it.
Try getting in touch with Kitchen Butterfly, who lives in Nigeria:
Lots of good ideas! There's also this recipe from this site that though it is not officially an African stew, it is vegan and does seem to skew towards the flavor profile you're looking for and it's delicious: http://food52.com/recipes...
My peanut stew recipe is vegan if you use vegan peanut butter. It calls for squash, but you could easily substitute yams: http://food52.com/recipes...

Any speculation on launch date and price???
What I found through Auto Expo 2014 is everybody in the industry is trying to use Indian talent for their product development and are succeeded to deliver impressively…We see Yamaha, HMSI, Bajaj, HarleyDevidson, TVS, Maruti Suzuki, GM, Mercedes, Chrysler…..We find Bajaj CS400, GM Adra, Honda CX 01, Celerio, Ertiga….Grand Cheerookee to name few. Hero on the other hand desperately trying to get some good stuff….but nothing impressed me for success or launch able. Most of them or sized down versions/ not having good proportions…or trying to make impressions. Nothing is up to mark. Hope they find way to fix it sooner than later.
@Yatharth LAUNCH DATE???????????????????????????
Can anybody update on this one please??
Any news about Impulse or have they ceased the production of this bike.
Are we expecting a 250CC motor??
Please update????
My neighbor owns a Buell 1125R (limited edition). I can strongly say that the Hero HX 250R has had a lot of inspiration from the same. It is evident and is not a bad thing. The 1125R is monstrous in flesh!
From the bore and stroke, this bike should be a 1000 cc bike.
π x 81² x 48.5 = = 9,99,681.49 mm³ = 999.68 cc
I think the figure is a mistake.

HBO CEO Bill Nelson Announces Retirement
Bill Nelson, CEO of Home Box Office, Inc., announced today he will step down as CEO of HBO at the end of the year. Under Nelson's tenure, HBO has enjoyed record revenues and profits; experienced a resurgence in its original programming, most recently earning 81 Emmy nominations, including the most "outstanding series" nominations in the network's history; launched its acclaimed and popular authenticated streaming service HBO GO; and expanded its international businesses, resulting in more than 100 million subscribers worldwide. Under the new management structure, Eric Kessler will serve as President and COO and Michael Lombardo will serve as President, Programming, and both will report to Richard Plepler, who will become CEO.
"Bill and I have worked together for many, many years and though I'm sad to see him leave, I respect his decision to enjoy retirement. He is a world-class CEO and leaves the company well-positioned for the future," said Jeff Bewkes, Chairman and CEO of Time Warner Inc. "The company will not miss a step with the new team, which has the combination of talent and experience to drive HBO to new heights of creative excellence, innovation, and financial performance. Richard and Eric are twenty-plus year veterans of the company who, as Co-Presidents, helped HBO re-establish its pre-eminence over the past five years, and Mike Lombardo has done an exceptional job in developing the best slate in HBO's history."
"HBO has been my home for almost 30 years so this decision was an emotional one," said Nelson. "With my elevation to CEO more than five years ago, we set an ambitious agenda for HBO, and I'm proud to say that I feel the company has never been in better shape financially or creatively. I feel very comfortable in taking this step now because I know HBO will continue in its tradition of innovation and acclaimed programming and retain its superior position in our industry in the hands of Richard, Eric, Mike and the entire team."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The paper quality is great and I removed the meal choices and the card still looked awesome. With the design teams help, they were able to replace some of the writing in order to make the card look full."
"Well designed, great use of our wedding colors and our photo & happy with final result. Thanks to the designer who helped us."
"I love this RSVP card! I had the designer switch the orientation (from vertical to horizontal) and it worked so much better for me. I felt like I could fit more information and wording on the card :)"
"I love that I was able to add a quote at the bottom and a black & white photo on the back. It gave it that personalized touch that I wanted. Looks great in matte finish and font is so pretty but somewhat hard to read. I recommend either using a big font size or going with a more legible font, maybe using numbers for the date instead of just words. I paired this with the silver pearl envelope which went perfectly with the rest of my invites."
"Loved the colors! Happy with card stock and choice to upgrade to shimmer paper. Designer was helpful with my request to add second line for guests to fill in names. Liked the (free) option to put a photo on the back."

Chelsea striker Demba Ba has said the Blues play teams the calibre of Champions League opponents Paris Saint-Germain regularly in the Premier League, ESPN has reported.
Ba was speaking to a French radio station and said that the French club's strike force - led by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani - hold no fear for Chelsea since they play against strikers of such quality on a regular basis.
"Of course PSG's attack is good, but we play in the Premier League," Ba, a PSG supporter, said. "When you play Manchester United, there's [Wayne] Rooney and [Robin] van Persie. At [Manchester] City, there's [Sergio Aguero], [Alvaro] Negredo and [David] Silva. We also play Liverpool, who have two great strikers in [Daniel] Sturridge and [Luis]Suarez.
"Teams like PSG, with an exceptional attack, we play five or six times a season. We're a bit more used to playing this kind of game than PSG," Ba continued. "At this level of the competition, experience is very important.
"Whether it be the coaching or the players, we have that experience. Even if Paris are fresher, we have a very experienced team with old hands such as [Samuel] Eto'o and [Frank] Lampard, who are used to handling this kind of game."
Ba, a Senegal international, was born in an area in the southwest suburb of Paris and started his career at Rouen, in the sixth tier of French football. He later moved to Belgium's Mouscron, Hoffenheim in Germany and Premier League West Ham, joining Chelsea from Newcastle in January 2013.

Hi everyone so i am planning on building a new gaming PC (Monitor included if you can). Now the websites I'm looking at to buy my PC parts from is the below websites, my Budget price range is from 500-600$ (Possibly 700 dollars)
www.tigerdirect.com (Tigerdirect) www.newegg.com (Newegg) Ok so the parts ill be buying are CPU (I don't mind AMD as it is a budget build) Motherboard (Preferably Asus and MSI, any other recommended Motherboards are fine =D) RAM (I'd love 8GB's) Video card (Above the minimum requirements, i think ill spend about 100-150 on the gpu) Optical Drive (No OEM's,) Hard drive (500GB's - 1TB is fine for me =]) Case (If I'm still within my budget at this point a CPU water cooler would be nice, not expecting it though as things aren't that cheap) I think ive mentioned all the things i need here, Windows 7 obviously will be covered , i think ill get the windows 7 home premium 64 bit so ye. But if i missed anything here important please tell me as i am a beginner PC builder. Appreciate all replies, Fraser =)

Will you be overclocking, do you have a keyboard/mouse, and do you have a monitor?
hi thanks for the reply, well i might be overlocking im not really sure, and no i do not have a monitor and i dont have a keyboard, that can be seperate from the actual build if not possible within the budget ;)
Edited by Frasernator on 1/15/2013 3:36 AM PST
Unless you are doing extreme overclocking water cooling is stupid and pointless, I over clock my i5 by nearly 25% with the stock cooler alone and my temps never go above 55c.
I put this together from newegg, no case though as thats more of a personal preference, just pick what ever ATX you like and is cheep.

If you want my honest opinion with the build he made, you can easily cut out about $40 from your PSU and still get a really high quality PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016 It's $64.99 without shipping/tax and 550w is more than enough for anything you're doing. Then I would spend the money on a nicer motherboard or GPU maybe. Or get a nicer case that you like. Most of them will have decent airflow so you don't have to worry about that. Not sure exactly but I believe it has to do with calculating the pathing for 200+ units. I also suspect inefficient programming. It's all the calculations and poor programming that make it such a poorly optimized game. My computer should be demolshing SC2 and manages ~60 fps in late game (before both are maxed) and like only 45 at the height of the game (sometimes even lower). I have a Radeon 7870 and i5 2500k for reference :P Edit: Also, even though your build is "under budget" you don't have a copy of Windows 7 added to the price and you don't have a case. You might need to just make your build less expensive and add those two things :P
Edited by MtlGuitarist on 1/15/2013 4:03 AM PST
Ahhh i see! Ok ill use that power supply then, Appreciate both of your helpings :), If i change a part and make it better should i change my GPU or my motherboard? Oh true yes Umm if i do make my build cheaper is it possible for you to recommend me something?
Edited by Frasernator on 1/15/2013 4:04 AM PST
Oh crap, gave you the wrong ram. Get this instead
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL Item #: N82E16820231314 Return Policy: Memory Standard Return Policy $46 Probably, but I tend to shy away from cheaper PSUs. If a PSU goes bad it could take the whole system with it. PC P&C is one of, if not the best brands in quality PSU, all my systems have them,
Edited by Geo on 1/15/2013 4:12 AM PST
Motherboard CPU and RAM need to be a set. If you change one you have to make sure the others are compatible. The video card are all pretty standardized interface and are freely exchangeable. A somewhat better GPU would be the 650 Ti http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130838 |
Do you have any recommendations on what build i should be aiming for then lets say i went for a 400-500$ build leaving me 200$ for monitor and windows 7 what do u think is a good build for high+ settings on a nice fps? |
Dont reply to that post, dont worry bout it |
Moving this over to the Games, Gaming, and Hardware forum for some additional input. :)
If you're really just looking for a budget gaming PC just go over to the outlet section at dell.com. Most of their PCs don't come with a video card, but you can get one that can run pretty much everything for $40-$60 that runs on stock PSU (ie Geforce GT 630 over at newegg.com). Also, it comes with an OS already loaded.
You probably won't be able to run SC2 on the highest settings, but I really can't tell the difference between medium and high. Most players run on low anyway because all the extra effects are distracting (creep movement & DT paranoia, super shiny probes, shadows can be distracting too). So if you run on low anyway, this is perfect for you. For your convenience, here is a link to the Dell Outlet. I'd probably go with either i3 or i5 and they start from about $400. So that plus a video card will probably total you about $450-$500. I believe they also ship free. http://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlineSales/Online/InventorySearch.aspx?brandId=2202&c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh

I inherited one of those Humpty Dumpty's as a child. I remember it had weird cardboard leathery hands and sat malevolently in the corner of my bedroom. It got used as a football quite frequently when it psyched me out to much. Then one day it was gone. To say I was relieved would be an understatement. Like the dummy in the film 'Magic', it exuded an unhealthy air of menace. Maybe it's still hunting some poor infants bedroom somewhere, but let's hope not.

Love means never having to say you're sorry
"Love means never having to say you're sorry" | |
Actor | Ali MacGraw |
First used in | Love Story |
Voted #13 in AFI's 100 Movie Quotes poll |
"Love means never having to say you're sorry" is a catchphrase based on a line from the novel and 1970 film Love Story starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal. The line is spoken twice in the film: once in the middle of the film, by Jennifer Cavilleri (MacGraw's character), when Oliver Barrett (O'Neal) is about to apologize to her for his anger; and as the last line of the film, by Oliver, when his father says "I'm sorry" after learning of Jennifer's death. In the script the line is phrased slightly differently: "Love means not ever having to say you're sorry".
The line proved memorable, and has been referenced ever since. In 2005 it was voted #13 in the American Film Institute's list AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes.[1][2] The band Sounds of Sunshine had a Top 40 hit in the United States with a song titled "Love Means You Never Have to Say You're Sorry" in 1971. "Love means never having to say you're..." is the opening sentence in the popular song "Can't Help But Love You" by The Whispers, from their album named after the movie, issued in 1972.
The line has also been criticized or mocked, for suggesting that apologies are unnecessary in a loving relationship. Most prominently, a character played by O'Neal himself disparages it in the 1972 screwball comedy What's Up, Doc?: Barbra Streisand's character coos that "Love means never having to say you're sorry" while batting her eyelashes, and O'Neal's character responds, deadpan, "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard." John Lennon offered a contrary version: "Love means having to say you're sorry every five minutes."[citation needed]
In a 2004 episode of The Simpsons ("Catch 'Em If You Can"), the Simpson family watches the film, and Lisa retorts, "No it doesn't!" The line has also been parodied countless times, usually substituting another word or phrase for "love" and/or "you're sorry," especially the latter.
Also, this phrase has been used in the South Korean drama, Love Rain by the main characters, Im Yoona and Jang Keun-suk, making it more popular in South Korea, with images, gifs, etc. around the internet.
