SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Herbalife Ltd. slid more than 3% on Tuesday after KPMG resigned as its independent accountant over alleged insider trading by a partner who was the nutritional supplement company's lead auditor.
Top Tickers Trending
$HLF: Herbalife Ltd. HLF, +1.63% closed down 3.8% to $36.95, falling for a fourth straight session.
Herbalife said in a statement that it was informed by KPMG on Monday that its independence was impaired by the former partner and that it is withdrawing audit reports on the company's financial statements for fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
KPMG fired the partner as soon as it learned of his "rogue actions," the accounting firm said.
Meanwhile, Skechers SKX, -1.34% shares gained 1.9% after the company also revealed that KPMG resigned due to "misconduct" by the former partner. The person, who was also the lead auditor for Skechers, is "under federal investigation for providing non-public information of his clients to a third party in exchange for money," the footwear company said in a statement.
It further noted that it has "no reason to believe that the financial statements of Skechers have been materially misstated."
$GILD: Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, +0.77% got a lift after the biopharmaceutical company said Monday it submitted a new drug application to the Food and Drug Administration for approval of sofosbuvir, a drug to treat chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Analysts view this as a positive development, noting that it came ahead of schedule. "While the company had previously guided for 2Q13 submission, we see the timing as ahead of expectations, and could potentially put approval and launch this year. With priority review timelines now at 8 months, December sales are possible," said Matthew Roden at UBS in a note.
$LIFE: Life Technologies Corp. LIFE, +1.83% shares gained after a consortium of private-equity firms made up of KKR KKR, +0.75% Blackstone Group BX, +0.83% Carlyle Group CG, +4.60% TPG Capital and Temasek Holdings Ltd. bid more than $12 billion for the biotechnology firm, according to a report in the New York Post.
$AA: Alcoa Inc. AA, -1.08% wavered between gains and losses to close flat after the aluminum producer reported weaker-than-expected first-quarter revenue and robust earnings.

Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. CLF, -0.44% shares rose 8.8%. Barron's highlighted the company over the weekend, noting that the stock's downside is limited and if it fell further, the miner could become a target for acquisition.
First Solar Inc. FSLR, -0.91% shares soared 46% to $39.35, its highest close since February 2012, according to FactSet. The solar energy company said on Tuesday it expects 2013 earnings per share of $4 to $4.50 on sales of $3.8 billion to $4 billion. Analysts in a FactSet survey were forecasting earnings of $3.60 a share, on average, and sales of $3.17 billion.
ADT Corp. ADT, +0.96% shares shed 3.4%, one of S&P 500's biggest losers. The stock of the home security company was downgraded to underweight from equal weight at Morgan Stanley last week, according to reports.
J.C. Penney Co. Inc. JCP, -2.22% shares sank 12% after the struggling retailer replaced Chief Executive Ron Johnson with former CEO Myron Ullman, who served in that post for seven years.
Johnson was brought in from Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.62% where he played a pivotal role in its retail strategy, on hopes he would have similar success at J.C. Penney. Shares first surged in the wake of Johnson's removal, but fell after hours when the retailer named Ullman as CEO.
Automotive parts retailers were some of the worst performers in the S&P 500 with O'Reilly Automotive Inc. ORLY, +0.94% down 1.9% and AutoZone Inc. AZO, +0.24% off 2.9%.

Private Woodworking Instruction
I provide personalized one-on-one woodworking instruction that is geared to your needs. If you have a shop already set up then I can teach in your space so that you can use your tools and create a workflow that works in your shop. Conversely, if you are new to woodworking, you are more than welcome in my shop to learn and explore what goes into a hand tool-focused shop. I will work with you to plan out your personalized instruction plan that will be designed to include the skills you want to learn.
Here are some of the woodworking topics that I can cover with you:
Set-up and use of various woodworking machines
Set-up and use of hand tools
Setting up a shop
Cutting and fitting joinery
Furniture design
Creating woodworking plans and cut lists
Wood technology
Buying lumber
Tutored Builds
Another popular option is tutored builds where you and I work hand-in-hand on specific woodworking projects that you want to build. Anything from jewelry boxes to work benches can be designed and built together, all the while increasing your woodworking knowledge and skill.
How Much?
Because everyone's needs are different, it would be impossible for me to quote prices or get much more specific than I have here. That being said, I can tell you that my hourly rate is $50/hour and that I'm generally available in the evening and on weekends. If you are interested in private woodworking instruction, please feel welcome to contact me at email@example.com so we can start planning your personalized woodworking education.

Project information
Love to Learn's Homework & Activites Club
Homework and activities club and holiday activities for refugee children living in poverty in London
July 2018 - September 2018
Charity information: The Katherine Low Settlement Limited
Refugee children struggle to get their homework done as their parents don't speak much English and can't give them support. They also don't access many activities and rarely go on holiday. This means they miss out on experiences and have low levels of English. Children we work with live in poverty, overcrowded housing, single parent families. They usually don't have access to computers or other learning resources. They are underachieving at school and have low confidence and self-esteem.
We provide weekly homework and activities club for refugee children and trips during the holidays. This ensures that children can get their homework done with help and access to computers, printers, internet and other learning resources. Volunteers help each child to improve their learning, read together and then do fun activities (gardening, cooking, trips etc.). Children not only improve their learning skills, confidence and English, but also have fun learning new skills and making friends.
Aim 1
Help refugee children do their homework and hand it in on time!
Activities» 2 weekly homework clubs for refugee children (2 hours during term-time) with learning support from staff and volunteers
What success will look like
Progress logs for children
Reports from staff, parents, teachers, children and volunteers
Monitoring forms
Aim 2
Help refugee children feel more confident and gain social skills
Activities» Weekly activities for refugee children - cooking, gardening, sports, arts, drama, music; holiday activities and trips; opportunities to make friends
What success will look like
Monitoring forms each year
Progress logs
Reports from staff, parents, children and volunteers
Photos and logs of activities
Aim 3
Improve the learning resources available to refugee children
Activities» Weekly homework club for refugee children providing access to computers, printers, internet, workbooks, reading books, stationery etc.
What success will look like
Photos of children using resources
Inventory of resources provided
Refugee children will improve learning skills, get more homework done and do better at school.
Refugee parents will have access to our other services including education advocacy, parent workshops etc. and will learn more about the UK school system and improve home-school liaison.
Volunteers will learn more about refugee issues which will help to improve community cohesion.
We demonstrate this through monitoring forms and regular evaluation feedback and reporting.
Possible risks:
Staff turn-over
Financial viability
Availability of venue
Staff turn-over is very low and we have excellent long-term volunteers working with us.
Love to Learn Homework Club has secured BBC Children in Need funding until 2021 which means we are financially viable, but still need further funding to run Club, particularly during the Holidays.
Love to Learn is a project of Katherine Low Settlement, a charity established in 1924.
We will produce an evaluation report with photos (we can also provide short films) which will include an analysis of our monitoring forms and feedback.
Budget - Project Cost: £10,000Loading graph....
Amount Heading Description £10,000 Homework club staff Providing a weekly homework club and educational trips & activities during the summer
Current Funding / Pledges
Source Amount Children in Need £40,000 Guaranteed
Love to Learn's Homework & Activities club takes place at Katherine Low Settlement in Battersea, London (Borough of Wandsworth). Although Battersea has some extremely wealthy residents, it also has some large council estates with communities of refugees from Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. It is children from these families who attend our homework & activities club.
Children from refugee backgrounds (e.g. Somali, Eritrean, Iraqi, Iranian, Afghan, Rwandan, Sudanese etc.) will benefit. We prioritise children who are newly-arrived, unaccompanied, do not speak English, are behind at school or whose families have suffered bereavement or trauma. All the refugee children we work with are in poverty, live in poor housing and face multiple disadvantage. We work with children aged from 5 to 15.
Why Us?
Why Us?
We are the only charity in the local area that provides a homework club for refugee children and we have been running clubs for over 10 years. We have experienced and knowledgable staff and trustees, and we work with over 100 volunteers. We work in close partnership with schools, refugee community groups, statutory agencies and parents. We also already have matchfunding to run the club, so this grant will enable us to expand and add value to an operational programme.
