This event not only created new attendance records for a 7s tournament in Singapore, but also fans and carnival goers went crazy over the social media.
Attendance Records
The second day of attendance recorded 27,053 visitors and this surpassed the record of 16,000 which was set when Sevens was last hosted by Singapore in 2006. And there were 6,700 hours of social media interaction on the Singapore Sevens.
Featuring 16 world class teams battling it out on the pitch to accumulate crucial points in the World Rugby Sevens series, there was non-stop, electrifying action on the pitch and fans vying for best dressed costume off the pitch.
Social Media Engagement
More than 97,000 unique visitors also checked out the www.singapore7s.sg site and spent an average of 2.32 minutes online – representing a combined visiting time of 6,700 hours interacting with the Singapore Rugby Sevens and their key sponsors.
During the tournament, the event's official social media pages had also garnered 130 tweets, 41 Instagram posts and 40 Facebook posts. This had a Facebook reach of 153,428 and 59,700 post engagements. There were also 4,994,539 impressions for the official #Singapore7s hashtag.
Said Douglas Danapal, Commercial Manager at Singapore Rugby Union "We are delighted that people engaged so much on all of our digital channels. Our event is social by nature and judging by the numbers, we really created that synergy with rugby fans worldwide."
Using the new Facebook Live Video Feature, the official Social and Digital Agency for the Rugby 7s, Mediatrophy, also maximised engagement with fans and the Singaporean public.
Said Pierre De Luca, Managing Director, "We posted several live feeds featuring the action at the stadium, the fans cheering their teams and people dressing up in exotic costumes. Our most popular live video connected with more than 20,000 fans."
He added, "A live commentary with Paul Foster also drove more spectators to the stadium on Sunday afternoon." So 1,102 tickets for the rugby action had been sold on Sunday itself.

US to Expand Seeding of Biomass, Yet Another Reason For Increasing Public Understanding
In her most recent post (NYT), Elisabeth Rosenthal outlines recent efforts by the US Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy to provide seed funding to fledgling businesses in the biomass fuel industry.
Discussions of biofuels have been in the news a lot in recent years. In the U.S., that has primarily focused on creating ethanol from corn, or biodiesel from soybeans, although many companies are working on second-generation strategies for creating liquid fuels. While biomass is commonly used for heat (think firewood), Rosenthal's post points out that large-scale use of chopped up plant material (biomass) to create electricity and heat is not widespread. Interestingly, Brazilian ethanol derived from sugarcane is often argued to have an attractive energy balance because the left over plant material is used to fuel the energy-hungry distillation process.

Genetic Diabetes Nurses
FIND YOUR NEAREST GENETIC DIABETES NURSE and/or MONOGENIC CLINIC
An educational model for the integration of genetics into diabetes care
The team at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, led by Prof. Andrew Hattersley, Dr Maggie Shepherd and Prof Sian Ellard have received funding from the Department of Health for a project exploring ways of increasing the integration of molecular genetic testing into diabetes care.
There have been considerable scientific advances in the study of the molecular genetics of monogenic diabetes. However the best way to disseminate and integrate this information into clinical practice is uncertain.
This project involves experienced diabetes specialist nurses, who receive training about monogenic diabetes and genetic testing. Each of these Genetic Diabetes Nurses are based in a different location in the UK. Within their region they aim to increase knowledge of health care professionals about monogenic diabetes and genetic testing. This may be achieved by giving presentations at diabetes centres and local / regional meetings. The nurses assist in identifying which families are likely to have monogenic diabetes and which diagnostic genetic test would be the most appropriate. They can also discuss the implications with the families and guide follow up for the family members if a positive genetic test result is received.
Monogenic diabetes accounts for approximately 1% of UK diabetes (~20,000 people) (Shepherd, 2001a). In these cases a clinical diagnosis may be confirmed by molecular genetic testing for which Exeter is the UK NHS referral centre. A differential diagnosis can guide optimal treatment, help genetic counselling and explain co-inheritance of apparently unrelated features. Diabetes professionals are often unfamiliar with the key characteristics of monogenic forms of diabetes, and so misdiagnosis is common, resulting in inappropriate advice and treatment (Shepherd, 2001b). For example patients with diabetes due to a mutation in HNF1alpha are sensitive to sulphonylureas and often achieve better glycaemic control on a very small dose of tablets compared to insulin injections. Mutations within the glucokinase gene cause mild, stable hyperglycaemia which does not require treatment, but in children may be misdiagnosed as Type 1 diabetes.
Many members of diabetes teams (paediatric and adult) are unfamiliar with the latest genetic findings, and unsure of the most appropriate treatments. The Genetic Diabetes Nurses aim to improve awareness, understanding and recognition of monogenic forms of diabetes, leading to an increase in the number of patients accurately diagnosed and treated.
Not all regions in the UK are covered at present. We are always looking for experienced Diabetes Specialist Nurses to work as Genetic Diabetes Nurses in areas not currently covered. If you are interested and would like more details, please contact Maggie Shepherd - Email: email@example.com or Tel: +44 (0) 1392 408261.

We've all been in this position before. You're home. You want some cake, but you don't want to deal with the burden of a whole cake lurking in the kitchen. Cupcake? Nahh. Try mug cake! Have you heard of mug cake? A simple Google search or a browse through Pinterest will reveal single serving recipes of carrot cake, chocolate cake, vanilla cake, you name it.
I started making chocolate mug cakes back when I lived alone and didn't have a domestic partner to pig out with. I eventually perfected my method and started baking my chocolate "mug" cake in a bowl, which spread out the surface area and resulted in more even baking. Anyway, I've wanted to branch out and try other single serving cake recipes and snagged the opportunity on a lazy week.
I found a recipe titled A Cup of Coffee Cake (In Under Five Minutes) from Prudent Baby. The volume though concerned me so I added up the calories of a single serving and it totaled 600. In an effort to be calorie conscious, I cut the ingredients in half. Here is my mise en place.
I followed Jaime's directions, cutting each ingredient by half. I zapped 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the microwave for a few seconds.
Next I mixed 1 tablespoon of white sugar into the melted butter.
Next I added 2 tablespoons of a beaten egg.
Next I stirred in 1 tablespoon of sour cream, a drop of vanilla, 2 tablespoons flour, and a dash of baking powder.
Then I made the crumb topping, which consisted of 1/2 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon flour, 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. I mixed the topping ingredients together till it made a nice crumble. Once I placed them on top of the batter in the mug, I just felt like it was missing… something. So I searched my pantry to see what I had on hand. Chopped pecans and chocolate chips! Yes. I sprinkled some on top.
I microwaved the "cake" for one minute. The softened chocolate chips on top looked delectable!
This cake was a nice treat, but it did taste a little too egg-y for my liking. Next time I might reduce the egg to 1 tablespoon or none at all.

Protest awaits Prime Minister Narendra Modi at JNPT
Villagers whose land was taken in 1984 for developing the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) at Navi Mumbai still await promised land; hope to draw PM's attention to the issue today
Even as the Navi Mumbai police prepare security and traffic detail for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Sunday visit to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) at Navi Mumbai, locals are making their own not-so-nice preparations. The PM is slated to lay the foundation stone for the fourth container terminal at the port, estimated to cost Rs 8,000 crore.
Also read: Certificate from PM Modi just for show, feel JNPT PAPs
The site at the JNPT port where the fourth terminal will be built at a cost of Rs 8,000 crore
However, the project-affected people (PAP) are unhappy with the pending issue of the 12.5 per cent compensatory land scheme benefits, which they have been awaiting for over 30 years. More than 3,000 families residing around the present JNPT port are still waiting to get their hands on the compensatory land, which the state government had promised in 1984.
Dinesh Patil, President of JNPT Ekta Kamgar Sanghatan, said, "We, along with project affected villagers, will be demonstrating against the PM and will hold black flags in protest of the government's failure to resolve our land allotment issue."
In 1984, the state acquired over 2,987 hectares of land from 12 villages around Uran for the port. Last year in August, Modi had come to JNPT and handed over land allotment certificates to PAPs, near Funde village in Uran within a few months.
Further, the 111 hectares of land sanctioned for PAPs of JNPT near Funde falls under coastal regulatory zone and JNPT has not yet obtained permission to develop the land sanctioned. Earlier, speaking to SUNDAY mid-day, Neeraj Bansal, Deputy Chairman at JNPT, had claimed, "Most issues have been resolved. In the last six months the concerned ministry had three meetings."
PM's address cancelled
Port sources revealed that the PM was supposed to address a large crowd of his party workers on Sunday. However, it seems that after reports of the protest trickled in, the gathering was cancelled. This time, the media — barring a few public service broadcasters — has also been prohibited from the event.
Navi Mumbai preps up
The Navi Mumbai police has deployed a force of 1,000 officers for the event. Officers from the police department revealed that the force will be deployed around the port area. "City police will keep a vigil in their respective areas. There will be no traffic diversions on Sunday in Navi Mumbai," said an official from the department.
While the PM will then head to Shivaji Park and then Dadar, the police refused to comment on security in the city. DCP Traffic (Headquarters) Panjabrao Ugale said, SK Bole Marg near Siddhivinayak temple in Prabhadevi will be diverted for a few minutes during the PM's movement."

Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly's Annual Lectures
The Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly annual lecture is established in 2012 in honour of the memory of Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly, a clinical psychologist and Associate Professor of Health Sciences, who began his career at the University of Illinois in 1959. Dr. Arthur Nikelly's life was a testimony to the importance of human rights, social justice, freedom or expression, and educational achievement. During his lifetime, his work and philanthropy furthered trese values not only at the University and in the communities of Urbana-Champaign and Chicago, but also at the village of Vritsa, birthplace of his parents, George J. and Mary G. (Koletti) Nikelly, on the Greek island of Lesvos. The Dr. Arthur Nikelly's annual lectures have become possible due to a donation funded from the assets of Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly to the University of Illinois by his sister, Eva G. Nikelly, of Morton Grove, Illinois. In line with the endowment agreement between Eva G. Nikelly and the University, a mutidisciplinary comittee of faculty, students, administrators, and consulting members of the Modern Greek Studies Program is convened every year and decides the name of the scholar to be invited for the annual lecture.
Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly
Arthur G. Nikelly, Ph.D., was a clinical psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The son of George and Mary (Koletti) Nikelly, he was survived by his sister Eva, of Morton Grove, Illinois. Arthur G. Nikelly received a bachelor's and a master's degree from Roosvelt University in Chicago and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Ottawa University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He served in the US Army during the Korean War. From 1959 to the mid 1980's he served as a clinical psychologist at McKinley Health Center and Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He was a member of the American Psychological Association and other professional societies. A prolific scholar on many topics, Dr. Nikelly had several books and over 50 scholarly publications to his credit. His books included Mental Health for Students: A Guide for Adjusting to College (1966); Techniques for Behavior Change (1972); Achieving Competence and Fulfillment (1977); Techniques for Behavior Change: Applications of Adlerian Theory (1979). His publications addressed greed, nostalgia, depression, the challenge of immigrants to the helping professions, group psychotherapy with Greek immigrants, demons and the evil eye in Greece, the role of environment in mental health, sexual deviation in college students, the schizophrenic in college, ethical issues in research on student protest, alcoholism, techniques for counseling African-American students, health care and mental health care in Cuba, the impact of television on social interest, drug advertisements and the medicalization of depression in women. Dr. Nikelly's last book, The Romantic Poetry of Greece (1880-1960) (2009) translated the work of famous Greek poets into English for the first time. Dr. Nikelly left a legacy of good deeds. A major philanthropist, he initiated the design and construction of Nikelly outpatient health clinic (Nikelleio Iatreio) together with his sister, Eva and brother John, in their hometown village of Vrisa on the island of Lesvos, Greece. They also provided funds for all medical equipment and office furnishings. The clinic opened in 2011. Dr. Nikelly also bought a century-old building and oversaw its adaptive reuse into the Vrisas Library (Bibliothiki Vrisas), to be opened shortly. Arthur, Eva, and John also donated land for the new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and natural reserve in Vatera, a seaside village near Vrisa. The church opened in 2011. Long before it became fashionable, Dr. Nikelly lived a sustainable lifestyle. He lived modestly in a small home, walked to work, maintained a regular health and fitness routine, and engaged in healthy eating habits based on a Mediterranean diet. He received awards for his swimming abilities and swam an average of one to two miles per day. He worked our regularly at the University recreation center. Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly passed away October 19, 2011.
First Annual Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly Lecture (AY 2012-13)
The first Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly annual lecture took place on Monday April 8 2013 at 17:00 on the 3
floor of the Levis Center. In line with the endowment agreement between Eva G. Nikelly and the University, a multidisciplinary committee of faculty, students and administrators, and members of the Modern Greek Studies Program advisory board was convened on November 1 2012 to select the name of the scholar to be invited for the first such annual lecture. The multidisciplinary committee decided to invite Professor Thomas W. Gallant, holder of the Nicholas Family Endowed Chair in Modern Greek History and Archaeology a the University of California in San Diego to be the first "Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly" lecturer. "I am both honored and pleased to accept your invitation to present the inaugural Arthur G. Nikelly lecture, which I am flattered and humbled to receive" were Professor Gallant's exact words to the selection committee's invitation. Professor Gallant's lecture was entitled: "Writing Greek History in the 21
Century", in which it was argued that the time is ripe for a radical departure in the ways we conceptualize Greek history in general and social history in particular. There is a movement among historians to turn away from the nation state as the field's primary geographical frame of analysis and to opt instead for regional transnational perspectives. Taking this as his starting point, Professor Gallant explained why a social history of the Greeks must adopt a framework that is transnationalist, that connect global developments with local experiences and that is broadly comparative. In addition to articulating the difficulties historians face, Professor Gallant highlighted the topics and themes on which such as study should focus. The first annual Dr. Arthur G. Nikelly lecture was videorecorded and a video was uploaded on the program's website
Professor Thomas W. Gallant (Biographical Info, April 2013):
Dr. Thomas W. Gallant holds the Nicholas Family Endowed Chair in Modern Greek History at the University of California, San Diego. He received his Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Cambridge in 1982. He is the author of seven books and over forty articles; among his books are

Gail O'Grady is an American actress. She was raised in Wheaton, Illinois and graduated from Wheaton North High School in 1981.
O'Grady was first seen by American television audiences in a 1987 Diet Pepsi commercial titled "Apartment 10G", which also starred Michael J. Fox. O'Grady played his sexy neighbor for whom Fox leaped down a fire escape and across a busy, rainy street to get a Diet Pepsi when he found none in his own fridge. TV Guide listed the ad as #41 in its 1999 list of "The 50 Greatest TV Commercials of All Time".
Her first major role was as Donna Abandando on the police drama NYPD Blue. O'Grady played the big-haired squad secretary from 1993 to 1996, and for each year received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. O'Grady left the series in 1996 and made a pilot for her own sitcom, The Gail O'Grady Project, but the show was not picked up by any of the networks. She's also made appearances on the hit CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men; and also appeared in the final episode of Designing Women playing the trophy wife of a business rival of Judith Ivey's character, B.J. Poteet.
O'Grady found success starring in numerous television movies, including The Three Lives of Karen, Another Woman's Husband, Sex & the Single Mom, and Lip Service.
From 2002 to 2005, she played the mother, Helen Pryor, in the NBC television series American Dreams, which depicted an all-American family living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the 1960s. At the beginning of the 2005/06 television season, she starred on the ABC sitcom Hot Properties. However, ABC announced late in 2005 that the series would be canceled.
In 2007, she began a recurring role on Boston Legal as Gloria Weldon, a judge in a personal relationship with attorney Alan Shore. She also had a supporting role on the short-lived CW teenage drama series, Hidden Palms.

When ScanSource, a $2US Billion company, acquired MTV Telecom earlier this year, it was to leverage the strengths and skills of both organisations and create a significant platform for real growth in the UK and Europe.
MTV Telecom provides high levels of personal service and support that enables it to be supplier of choice to its reseller partners.

These are decadent and delicious. Crispy, creamy green fried goodness. Really, they're almost too good for words.
Beer Battered Fried Avocado Wedges
Originally from the California Avocado Commission
1 cup lager or ale
1 cup all p flour
1 1/2 tsp paprika
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 avocados
oil for frying
1 cup salsa (to serve with them)
Whisk beer, flour, paprika, garlic (I added 1/2 tsp salt) until blended. Let stand at least 2 hours.
Peel avocados, cut each into 6 wedges. Dredge each wedge in batter. Deep fry until golden.
This was great with onions, too! That batter is definitely a keeper for me.
If your avocados are ripe and you refrigerate them, they hold their shape better for cutting.

For fans of Sylvia Day and E. L. James, comes New York Times best-selling author Delilah Devlin's second book in her sensual erotic romance Sultry Summer Nights series.
Delilah Devlin has published over 100 erotic stories in multiple genres and formats and has won numerous awards, including being a three-time nominee for RT Reviewers Choice Awards - including Best Erotic Romance.
©2014 Hachette Audio (P)2014 Delilah Devlin
"Her Only Desire has everything a reader could want! A hot, alpha, bad boy, sex that sizzles, and a bit of intrigue that keeps you turning the pages!" (Erika Wilde, USA Today best-selling author author of The Marriage Diaries and The Players Club)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Very strong BDSM story"
Possibly, I enjoyed the characters although it was quite far fetched
not sure - the explicit BDSM might make it awkward to recccomend to others
a great southern accent
"Good Outline Delilah, Needed Just a Bit More"
yes, as book #1 was very good. This started out fast, but continued as if it were just the outline of the story. Yes, this is a BDSM story, but even those portions needed something...less on the surrounding plantation and foliage. If this story is a continuation of #1, it fails to keep the tension stated in the synopsis.
DD books are mixed! I keep buying them, but have been disappointed on a few selections.
J.F. has a great reading voice. He does a great Cajun accent, but you must like them. I do not and therefore it took away from MY listening experience. JF does a nice job on female voice so I do hope he continues to do Romance reads.
No, it was not for me. It was an auto download for me when it came out due to book #1. That book is HOT. This book had so much potential, but failed to deliver.
If there is a #3 book, I will be awaiting fellow reviewers comments before I purchase. I did not check if listerners reviewed book #1 and I was surprised I am the first to review this book. What was odd, I had to go to written word reviews to get the story outline. Audible, put this one on sale!

My family and I were looking for lots of horses. She was at one of the farms we liked to visit. One day my mom, a friend of my mom, and I went riding somewhere 2 hours from my house. I was riding one of my older horses, Glory (not shown yet). My mom rode on Silver then. HEr friend was riding Dixie (one of my horses that was sold to her because I could not ride her. When we were going down a rocky mountain she fell down. I fell off of her and rolled a little bit. I decided not to ride Glory the rest of the way for fear she might fall again (this was not tripping this was falling). My mom asked me if I wanted to ride Silver. I said yes but wearily, because I had never ridden her before. She was very nice and slow. Ever since then she and I have been riding together. ALthough she doesn't enjoy me catching her....

1. No, you didn't have lag -- accept responsibility. Lag is to healing as dogs are to homework. Let's take a moment to be honest with ourselves: Most of your healing errors occurred because you messed up. Step up and admit to your group that you mistimed, misjudged, zoned, went AFK, etc. People appreciate others who take responsibility. "I'm sorry about that, everyone, it won't happen again," will earn you respect much more than, "I had lag -- don't look at me!" How will you progress as a healer if all your healing mistakes occur at the same time as "OMG LAG"?
2. Be critically positive. When I used to raid lead, I tried to foster an environment of taking responsibility. After one wipe, the other healer whispered me to list every mistake she made. Five minutes later, I got her calmed down and we won. Hooray, loot for ... oh no! Five more minutes ... Next boss ... We wiped ... Elune, please not again! Ten more minutes of said healer apologizing for every mistake. I considered what I could say to restore her confidence and make her more positively critical. Ahem: "Get over yourself. You will make mistakes."
3. Mistakes = Opportunities. The third thing that healers should realize is that mistakes are learning opportunities. The very first raid I ever healed, I was pathetic. I spammed Greater Heal for 30 seconds and spent the rest of the fight wanding. Afterward, I sat down determined to learn from my mistakes ... and eventually, I did. Every mistake is a chance to not make it again and get better, if you will pursue it as such.
4. Patience reaps rewards. To prevent burning out faster than a Roman candle, all healers need to understand that even if you play perfectly, the team can still fail. No, that doesn't make it a fail team that you should swear at, then drop group. There will be times where a group has to wait for you to learn. When another member of your team is learning, realize that he waited for you and that the best thing you can do for your team is to be patient.
5. Operate as a team. When I first started healing in BC, I was a meter-obsessed jerk. I would get into a PUG and think, "A druid = snipe their HOTs," or, "A shaman = COH spam." In almost every raid, I looked great on the meters. But I was a lousy healer who cared nothing for the team. Do not be this person. A good healer realizes that he is part of the team. Healers do not compete with the other healers; they work with them. If you must compete, compete with yourself.
6. Find your rhythm. A funny thing happened to me once; I happened to be raid healing while my wife played piano a few feet from me. When she finished, she turned and stared at my hands on the keyboard. "Are you sure you don't know how to play?" My epiphany: Good healers are constantly in motion, and when healing, their hands dance across the keyboard with a distinctive rhythm. To play a healer well, you need to be able to get in sync with how healing flows. To do this, practice healing, alter your UI setup, change your keyboard. An excellent healer's goal is fluidity, to make healing music.
7. Seek out senseis. There will always be someone better. Take time to learn about your class and keep up to date. You will never know all you need to about healing. Find the best healers and figure out how to become just as good. Being able to identify a great healer makes you a pretty good one, too.
8. Be both reactive and proactive. A good healer has exceptional reflexes; an excellent healer has amazing awareness. When moving from good to great, go beyond reacting to the situations that are presented. To be a great healer, your attention cannot be focused only on raid frames; it needs to be focused on what is happening and will happen in your raid.
9. Forgiveness is a virtue. I have noticed an antipathy between healers and DPS. Realize that DPS are not all running to stand in a fire to irritate you. They don't all blame you for their mistakes, and they're trying to get better too. As a healer, your place is to heal, not judge. Falling into seizures for having to heal the DPS, stupid or not, takes away from what a classy healer you are.
10. Tanking is a responsibility; healing is a job; DPS is a game. If you said, "Definitely!" -- you shouldn't be healing. Play a healer because you love healing. That love of healing will make you into an amazing healer. If you hate what you're doing, I doubt you will ever measure up.

Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: Emergent Biosolutions, Horizon Pharma and Medivation
Feb 28, 2014, 09:30 ET from Zacks Investment Research, Inc.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Features: Emergent Biosolutions (NYSE: cronym>EBS-Free Report), Horizon Pharma Inc (Nasdaq: cronym>HZNP-Free Report) and Medivation (Nasdaq: cronym>MDVN-Free Report).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101027/ZIRLOGO)
Biopharms That Won't Buy the Farm
With the market taking a breather here just shy of the all-time high I'm beginning to wonder if my year end forecast is going to come true. Initially I felt that given the fantastic run we've seen over the last few years, this year would be a lot choppier. The choppiness may be bad for broad market indexes but for me I see it as a very good thing. It's a stock pickers market and well, I'm a stock picker.
Whether you look at the trailing 12 months, 6 months, or year to date numbers, the healthcare sector has been leading the market. More specifically, the biotech part of healthcare. It's the companies that are out there coming up with new drugs to bring to the market. The innovators, the risk takers, the ones that swing for the fences. With spring training underway, put your helmet on, grab the Louisville Slugger and step up to the plate.
The biomedical and genetics industry we categorize these stocks into is one of the largest industries we follow at Zacks with 173 stocks in the space. The Zacks Industry Rank is near the top third of the 265 total industries. Filled with Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) stocks I decided to throw in another metric to find the best trading ideas. Part of the Zacks Rank equation is last quarter's EPS earnings surprise. Stocks that have surprised earnings to the upside in the past have a higher likelihood of beating earnings in the future. I sorted stocks in this industry by EPS surprise last quarter and looked for top ranked stocks that trade on the big board or NASDAQ above $5.
The first stock I found is Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)Emergent Biosolutions (NYSE: cronym>EBS-Free Report) a biopharmaceutical company that develops vaccines. Among their portfolio is the only FDA approved vaccine for the prevention of anthrax infection. Last quarter's EPS surprise of 80% pushed this stock to the top of my screen.
Earnings estimates took a hit in early 2011 and were revised sharply downward. This pressure pushed the stock down from the $24 range it hit in 2011 down to lows almost half that amount in 2013. Looking at the price and consensus chart, earnings have strengthened considerably over the last year and in the last three months or so we are starting to see upwards revisions. This seems like the beginning of a great turnaround story stock.
Along with the earnings turnaround the technical picture has turned bullish. It's always good to see a chart that starts in the lower right of the screen and ends in the upper right. The stock has been stepping patiently higher price level by price level over the course of the last year. Higher swing lows have marked the stock's ascent. Right now the stock is threatening to enter a trading range for the short term. The 25 day moving average displaced to the right by 5 days (25x5 SMA) is below the stock price and moving sideways. After the aggressive run the stock made from an early November low of $18.28 to a January high of $25.70 a bit of a pause it to be expected. With the stochastics still very overbought at 89 I would wait for another pull back or a breakout above the January high to initiate a position. At this level your downside risk lies all the way down below $22, well over 10% below where EBS trades today.
With a Last EPS Surprise of 73.08%, Horizon Pharma Inc (Nasdaq: cronym>HZNP-Free Report) out of Northbrook, IL is the second stock on my screen today. The company focuses mainly on arthritis medications. Horizon has surprised to the upside three of the last four quarters. This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock is set to become profitable in 2014 with EPS estimates rising from 6 cents to 10 cents over the last 30 days.
Nothing says momentum like a move from $2 to $12.60 in six short months. The stock has been red hot as it breaks higher and higher. That doesn't mean that we have missed the boat. Along the rise in the last six months, twice the stock has pulled back to support at the 25x5 SMA, giving better buying opportunities. Right now we are trading over 30% above the 25x5 at $9.54 and the stochastics are well into overbought territory. The next earnings report is slated for March 13, 2014 and could be another major catalyst to the upside. It's never wrong to buy high and sell higher, keeping good risk parameters on this breakout could help carve a winning trade for you.
Rather than spend millions of dollars on R&D hoping to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, Medivation (Nasdaq: cronym>MDVN-Free Report) acquires promising technologies in the late preclinical development phase and tries to develop them cost-effectively. Medivation's goal is to keep a portfolio of four to six programs at all times. Currently MDVN has drugs in its portfolio to deal with Alzheimer's, Huntington's disease and prostate cancer. Last quarter's EPS surprise of 35.71% helped push this stock to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). MDVN reports today after the bell with consensus estimates of a loss of 11 cents while our Most Accurate Estimate sits at a 5 cent loss. MDVN has surprised to the upside by an average of 32.57% over the last four quarters.
Another big momentum story is developing here as well. Rocketing from a mid-October low of $48.15 to the $85 level it trades at today the stock has lots of positive energy behind it. After reaching an all-time at $87.46 the stock pulled back to the low $70s before retesting the highs. Today's earnings could be exactly what the stock needs to break through the previous high. I know I've said it before but it's rare to see a stock blast though to $90 on heavy momentum without hitting $100 shortly after that. The stock currently trades well above the positively sloped 25x5 at $78.59 and the stochastics are well overbought at 88.35. I would look for this to be a breakout play after the news tonight. If earnings miss or guidance is bad then take careful note of price action should the stock pull back to the 25x5.

Secret sisters were revealed with a gift exchange, and new names were drawn.
Jeanette Goggans presented the program of the year award to Frances Smith, who had demonstrated how to make bibs.
Joann Locher presented a scrapbook to Louise Pletcher, who served as president for 2009-10. Locher compiled a small album of pictures of when Pletcher was chapter sweetheart in 2009 and also gave her that.
Summer events included a covered-dish supper in June at the home of Margaret and Jack Williams and a Freedom ways and means meal at the home of the president in July.
Sue Lynn Hatcher, Jimmie McGhee, Joann and Dave Locher and Dorothy Koenig attended the state convention in Irving in June. A garden-party theme was used. Locher, as the Mad Hatter, won best costume award.

Fix the bugs. Change is the enemy of reliability. That's pretty funny! :-) NOT! Seriously speaking all complex software should be re-written from scratch as often as humanly and economically possible. And maybe even more often than that. (of course `expr' is not exactly "complex", but...) Seriously, the old `expr' did need replacing. It had bugs of its own and broke several of my own scripts -- scripts that had worked on many other unix and unix-like systems. The new version is now at a point where bug reports like yours can be used to improve it. > Don't commit widely used tools in critical paths without basic > testing. (Never mind, _serious_ testing.) Perhaps you're willing to write some test harnesses, test cases, etc.? Not everyone in the world does everything possible with even a relatively simple tool such as expr. Dozens, and maybe even hundreds, of us have been using the enw version of expr for quite some time now and few have had any complaints about it. The bugs that have been reported have been fixed so far as I can see. In any case I'm quite sure that the new version did go through extensive and very serious testing even before it was committed. It is interesting to note that the FreeBSD folks never took JTC's initial rewrite as a hand-coded recursive descent parser but instead of just incrementally improved the original 1993 version. -- Greg A.

Well, this is sure to raise a few eyebrows here and there. Today, at the Ubuntu Developer Summit, Mark Shuttleworth held his keynote speech, and in it, he announced that Ubuntu will switch to the Unity user interface come release, for both the netbook as well as the desktop, leaving the GNOME user interface behind (but keeping the GNOME platform).

How do your web pages rank when someone searches for a product or service provided? Do they click on one of your web pages or one of your competitors? Better yet, do you even show up? Search Engine Optimization is the continual process of making sure your website and pages rank favorably in a SERP.
It's estimated that 2.3 million searches are performed on Google every second. That's 138 million searches per minute, or 2 trillion searches every year.
11 Search Engine Optimizations Tips That Can Help Your Site Rank Favorably in Google
On-Page Optimization
Tip 1 – Keyword Optimized Page Titles
Keyword optimized page title are the most important factor regarding on-page SEO.
- Your page title should accurately describe the page content
- Place the keyword you are trying to optimize for at the beginning of the page title
- Keep your page titles to 55 characters or less, including spaces to avoid being truncated. (See Image Above)
- Each page title should be unique to the page
- If you use WordPress, your page or post title will be your page title
- If you want to see a preview of how your page title will look in Google check out MOZ's New Title Tag Guidelines & Preview Tool
- If you use Excel or Google Sheets, the LEN function can be a lifesaver. The Len Function counts the character length of a text string including spaces. Learn more about using the Len function.
Tip 2 – Optimize Your Meta Description!
This is the content that you see under the page title in a Google SERP. I like to think of this as my 155 character sales pitch. The meta description is your chance to entice someone to click-through to your page, so it makes sense to write compelling copy. If you don't Google may choose a meta description for you.
- Try to keep your meta descriptions between 150 and 160 characters. I shoot for 155 to avoid truncation. (See Image Above)
- Your meta description should include problem, solution, call to action and if you are a local business include your phone number.
- If you use Excel or Google Sheets, the LEN function can be a lifesaver when writing meta descriptions. Learn more about using the Len function.
- Each page and post should have a unique description
Tip 3 – Page Structure
Page structure is important and needs to formatted correctly with the proper use of HTML heading TAGS. HTML heading tags range from <h1> – <h6>. I like to refer to these as section headings because that's what they are for. If you use WordPress these tags that are located in the WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get Editor), The six different HTML tags are related to their importance <h1>is used for the most important heading followed by <h2> and so on. (Below is an image of the WYSIWYG in WordPress.)
Heading Tags and Search Engine Optimization
- Your title tag should use the <h1> tag and make sure your keyword is placed inside of it. If you use WordPress, this will be done automatically for you. Only use 1 <h1> tag per post! The <h1> tag
- Use the <h2> tag for section headings on your post or page. You can use more than one <h2> tag.
- Use the <h3> tag for section sub headings.
- Use header tags sparingly, excessive use of header tags can hurt your SEO efforts.
- Use bold, italics and underline to format text that is not in a heading.
- Write short paragraphs, use bullet points, and link to relevant content onsite and offsite
Tip 4 – Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)
You are probably familiar with the importance of keywords, but you might not be familiar with Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). Your content needs to flow naturally and needs to be written for human beings, not search engines; this is where Latent Semantic Indexing Comes in. For SEO purposes search engines give more weight to the overall theme of your content and not the number of times a particular keyword appears within your text. LSI identifies patterns in your writing and makes a correlation to your keywords and their context.
- LSI is a ranking factor that Google uses
- Semantic keywords are keywords related to your main keyword and should be used throughout your content
- Use this LSI keyword generator to help you create keyword variations that describe your idea
- If you remove the main keywords from your content would a reader be able to understand what your content is about
- For example, If I am trying to optimize for the keyword SEO I might choose the following keywords
- website optimization techniques
- learn SEO
- how to optimize your website
- effective website optimization
- Remember context is everything
Tip 5 – Use Hyperlinks
There are two types of hyperlinks internal and external links. Internal hyperlinks point to other pages and content on your website. External links point to other websites on the web from your site.
- The text within a hyperlink is called anchor text
- Make sure the anchor text you choose to use is relevant to the content you are linking to
- Link to relevant content on your site
- Link to relevant content on other websites
- Link to external pages that can add value or support your content
- The number of quality inbound links that point to your site matter, so create content that people want to link to. Google looks at inbound links (backlinks) as votes of confidence and authority
Tip 6 – Optimize Images For Search Engine Optimization
Images can make your post more interesting and bring some much-needed SEO value if used correctly. If a user can not view an image on a web page, the alt tag will give alternative information about the image Search engines will index the content associated with your photos not just your content. Images are often a missed opportunity to rank within a SERP.
- Make sure you that you use descriptive words to rename the actual image file that you use within your content
- Use keywords and be descriptive
- If you are selling a product include the part, product or serial number
- Don't go crazy with the use of keywords
Beyond On-Page Optimization – Technical SEO
Tip 7 – What Is URL Canonicalization?
Sometimes a piece of content can be accessed by multiple URLs on your website, and this presents a problem regarding on page SEO and what is being indexed in Google. If a piece of content on a web page can be accessed from different URL's on your site, you have a URL canonicalization problem. In short search engines don't know which URL to include in the SERP or which link to pass on the trust, authority and other metrics associated with a link.
Technically speaking the links below are all different URL's but can point to the same location. As you can imagine this can present a problem for search engines because they need to determine which version of this content should they show to a searcher.
- www.example.com
- example.com/
- www.example.com/index.html
Tip 8- You may have a URL canonicalization problem if any of the following apply:
- You use UTM tracking URL's
- Your site uses dynamic URL's
- You have an online store with product pages
- You have internal search pages on your site.
- You can correct canonicalization problems by either doing a 301 redirect or use the HTML link tag with attribute rel=canonical
Tip 9 – If you want to learn more about URL canonicalization check out the following blog posts.
- Which page is canonical?
- rel = canonical: The Ultimate Guide
- Canonicalization: How To Fix Common Issues
- 8 Canonicalization Best Practices In Plain English
Tip 10 – What Does Noindex, Nofollow, And Robots.txt Mean?
Sometimes you want to have your pages indexed in Google, and sometimes you don't. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to search engine optimization, but it's not. Believe it or not, you can control what Google should and should not index. Robots.txt, is a standard used by websites to communicate with search engines.
- Robots.txt – is a txt file located in the root directory of your website that has the pages that search engines should not access, index or follow. Just an FYI according to Google
- " The instructions in
robots.txtfiles cannot enforce crawler behavior to your site; instead, these instructions act as directives to the crawlers accessing your site. While Googlebot and other respectable web crawlers obey the instructions in a
robots.txtfile, other crawlers might not. "
- " The instructions in
- Noindex – Tells Google that you do not want them to index a particular page.
- Nofollow – Tells Google not to follow the links on that particular page.
- A good rule of thumb is to use the noindex and nofollow tags on any page that you do not want to be indexed by Google including:
- Landing pages connected to PPC campaigns
- Thank you pages
- When you have more than one version of a page already indexed such as a printer friendly version of a blog post.
- Content people have to pay for to see.
- You can learn more about the robots.txt exclusion protocol here
- A good rule of thumb is to use the noindex and nofollow tags on any page that you do not want to be indexed by Google including:
Tip 11 – Understanding Server Response Codes?
Server response codes are three digit codes a server generates every time a web browser (client) makes a request for information on another server connected to the Internet and lets the requesting client know how to handle the request. Here are the following server response codes that anybody involved with SEO should understand.
- 200 – All is good, life is wonderful!
- 301 – The content you are requesting has been moved permanently. (More on this in a later post)
- A 301 redirect is like going to the post office to change your address when you are moving. If you don't tell the post office where to send your mail chances are you are not going to receive it.
- 302 – The content you are requesting has been moved temporarily. (More on this in a later post)
- 403 – You are not authorized to view the content.
- 404 – The page you are searching for no longer exists on the server. If your website does not have a 404 error page, it should.
- 500 – Oops Something somewhere along the line went wrong.
I have just begun to scratch the surface regarding SEO and on-page optimization. As I said optimizing your website and web pages is the continual process. I will be writing more about SEO in future posts. Remember knowing where to start is half the battle.
Let me know your thoughts below!
