Unearthing the Value Activist Carl Icahn Sees In Transocean
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Activist investor Carl Icahn is back in action, this time announcing a 1.56% stake in Transocean (NYSE: RIG), his latest venture into the oil and gas industry. According to the company, Icahn's planned future purchase of Transocean shares would amount to at least 3.4 percent and make Icahn one of the top two shareholders, but it remains unclear as to whether he will take an activist role (see other stocks Icahn is an activist in).
The impending settlement and fallout from the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010, involving BP's drilling operation in the Gulf of Mexico, has kept the stock under pressure. Major peers Diamond Offshore Drilling (NYSE: DO), Noble Corp (NYSE: NE), Ensco (NYSE: ESV) and Atwood Oceanics (NYSE: ATW) have all outperformed Transocean since the Deepwater Incident. Since early 2010, Transocean is down over 40% and Diamond down 32%, but Noble is up 40%, Ensco 36% and Atwood 21%. For the recent round of hedge fund holding announcements, Transocean dominates the industry as the most popular contract drilling company (check out hedge funds that love Transocean). Since the disaster, Transocean still managed to hold its dominant drilling market share and dominate the Gulf of Mexico's deep-water drilling. Fourteen of the total thirty-seven rigs actively drilling in the Gulf at a depth of at least 1,000 feet are owned by Transocean.
At the turn of the New Year, Transocean settled the Deepwater (Clean Water Act violation) case. The drilling company will have to pay $400 million in criminal fines and $1 billion in civil penalties. The penalties are to be paid over 5-years with about 70% to be paid by the end of 2015. Transocean had previously booked $1.5 billion as an estimated loss, and has $6 billion in cash on hand. The driller could have been on the hook for many more billions of dollars related to clean up expenses.
As a number of major oil and gas companies shift toward onshore exploration, there has been some neglect of offshore resources, especially since the Deepwater Horizon incident. The drilling backlog for Transocean alone is somewhere around $30 billion, and the backlog only further boosts Transocean's earnings capabilities and visibility into near term performance.
The concerns that Icahn likely sees is Transocean's asset performance and debt. On a P/E basis, Transocean is relatively in line with peers, but its other metrics bring issues:
Transocean has been generating lower than average returns with subpar EBITDA margins and ROI/ROA ratios. This is where Icahn plans to help. He hopes to encourage management to monetize underutilized assets and pay down its 39% debt ratio. The driller has already started its move toward embarking on higher yielding assets and projects.
Transocean is still the largest offshore driller in the world. There's no doubt that Transocean is underperforming, but where is the hidden value? The real value does lie in their underperforming assets. Prior to the Deepwater disaster, Transocean traded at a 2.5x unlevered asset value (asset value less LT debt), but even after the recent announcement that the Deepwater case is settled, it still trades at only 2.1x. Assuming the stock should trade on 2.5x, the market price is undervalued by at least 15%.
Part of what Icahn hopes to do is to unlock shareholder value. Possible options include spinning off assets into an MLP, or selling some underperforming assets to reinstate its dividend. Transocean decided to suspend its dividend after making only four quarterly dividend payments. Prior to its 2010-2011 brief payments, the company had not paid a dividend since 2002. A reinstated $0.79 quarterly dividend payment would make for a 5.8% yield on its current share price.
Transocean has already been looking to monetize underutilized rigs, including selling thirty-eight jack-up rigs to Shelf Drilling for a total $1.05 billion. This transition reflects a move toward a greater deepwater focus, as jack-up rigs are used for developing shallow water reserves. The thirty-eight rigs sold to Shelf were expected to account for 10% of 2013 revenues, but the capital should be put to greater return on investment opportunities. One such opportunity is building four ultra-deepwater rigs for Royal Dutch Shell.
The contract will start in 2015 and run for ten-years at around $520,000 per day. The cost to build will be about $3 billion, but the ROI for just the Shell contract should be around 250%. The capital required to build the rigs will be a mix of its recent rig-sales to Shell and its solid free cash flow generation. Over the last twelve months, Transocean has generated some $2.7 billion in free cash flow.
Transocean is still an industry leader and with the overhang of the Deepwater case settled, the stock should be able to offer investors an attractive value opportunity. If Icahn has anything to do with it, this will include rearranging or dumping some assets to unlock capital for shareholders. Icahn has a variety of industry experience, owning stocks across the spectrum, from tech, retail and oil/gas of late. Icahn's Transocean investment comes after he made a move into Chesapeake in 2012 in an effort to shakeup management and enforce better asset management practices (read more about Icahn's Chesapeake investment).

George Bailey is a rare breed in cricket, having been named captain of the Australian T20 side despite never having played an international match in any format of the game.
He has now pushed his tally to 16 T20 matches, as well as 24 caps for the Australian ODI side.
Bailey has been a consistent run scoring machine for the Tasmanian Tigers, which eventually earned him the captaincy in 2009/10. With 5,936 runs, his first-class form can't be questioned.
His 160 back in the 2010/11 season against Victoria guided his side to a remarkable victory that eventually saw them win the Bupa Sheffield Shield for just the second time.
Bailey cemented a spot in the international side in 2012, when he was announced as captain for the T20 series against India.
With the likes of Shane Warne playing alongside him, Bailey was able to hone his already impressive leadership qualities during the KFC T20 Big Bash League in 2011/12.
A successful World T20 campaign would have capped off a perfect year for Bailey, but despite his whirlwind 63, Australia fell short in the semi-final to a brutal West Indies.
Earlier this year, Bailey got the dreaded monkey off his back with a maiden ODI century against the West Indies in Perth. In a typical fighting knock, his 125* rescued Australia from the brink to set up a comfortable 54 run win.
A pair of 55's in the recent ICC Champions Trophy weren't enough as Australia bowed out in the group stage.
Although he mightn't look it, the 30 year old is more than capable of dismantling a bowling attack. His strike rate hovers in the low 80's for the Tigers, while he goes at around 133 for both the Hurricanes and Australia in T20 cricket.
After guiding his side to the Bupa Sheffield Shield title in 2012/13, Bailey will be hoping for a return to form in limited-overs cricket. The Tigers struggled in the Ryobi Cup, while the Hurricanes once again failed to make an impact in the KFC T20 Big Bash League.
The Mr Nice Guy of Australian cricket has developed into a reliable all-round batsman for Australia. Whether he is building an innings or finishing it off, his teammates know they can always count on George.

When you're in the mood for having sex again, get creative. "In the routine of a long-term relationship, many couples get into a rut. They only use one or two positions. They rush through foreplay. Especially when people are very busy with the other aspects of their lives, there's a tendency to rush to the finish line," says Weston.
That kind of goal-directed sex, she says, puts a premium on getting an erection quickly -- adding to the pressure many men feel. Explore other ways of being physical that don't depend on a firm erection and penetration, such as caressing or massaging each other.
Seek Outside Help
Talking to your doctor about erection problems is essential. Your doctor can rule out health problems associated with erection difficulties, such as heart disease or diabetes. Your doctor may also recommend an erectile dysfunction medication.
Some men depend on oral drugs (like Cialis, Levitra, Staxyn, Stendra, and Viagra) to get an erection, says Zamboni. "But other men use them for a little while to regain their confidence and then no longer need them." If ED drugs aren't enough to address the problem, your doctor may refer you to a specialist who can discuss other options, including other medications, mechanical devices, or penile implants.
For some men, erectile dysfunction is caused by low sex drive related to having a low testosterone level. In that case, testosterone can help boost libido. Persistent erection problems can lead to depression and anxiety. Resolving the emotional aspects that interfere with intimacy and erections may help ease erection problems.
Many couples also benefit from seeing a sex therapist. "Even if erection problems have a physiological cause, sex therapists can help couples talk more openly and feel more intimate," says Weston.
Keep the Lines of Communication Open
Erection problems aren't resolved overnight. Even in the age of ED medications, a strong and intimate relationship depends on sharing feelings. Every relationship has its ups and downs, after all. Feelings get hurt. Sexual attraction waxes and wanes. Keeping the lines of communication is essential to both emotional and physical intimacy. "Sexual intimacy isn't a beginning and ending process," says Zamboni. "It's something a couple works on every day of their relationship."

Strengths: The Garmin Edge series, even with various bugs, is really the only cycling computer to consider.
Weaknesses: Price. The maps for off-roading are worthless, save your money. You just need the computer separately, buy the new Edge 1000 sensors and heart rate strap (with the changes I gave you below) and you will be good to go!
Bottom Line:
The Edge 800/810 has to be configured to pick up TWO sensors and not one (the GCS 10). If you don't change the settings, the new sensors will never get linked. Go to Menu>Settings>Bike Settings>(Select your bike if you have more than one bike profile listed) Bike Profiles>ANT+Speed/Cadence>Sensor Details> and then select Speed AND Cadence. It should then start looking for the individual sensors and pair up. WIthout this, your computer won't see the new sensors, it is looking for the old GCS 10.
So hope that saves someone some time and headache! If you don't like the install with the GCS 10, these new sensors are the answer!

Strengths: Great bike computer, good battery life, free open source maps, great for following tracks and recording trips
Weaknesses: Expensive
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: December 9, 2013
Strengths: Can collect heartrate, cadence and power meter data as well as calculate calories expended. Fairly rugged. Economical power consumption.
Weaknesses: Horrible ergonomics, many features are hypes and are extremely impractical to use, unreliable, unexplained glitches. Poor to non-existent documentation. Bad software for performance analysis. Too expensive for what it is.
Bottom Line:
My unit often reverted some personalized display settings back to default for no apparent reason - ruining my training sessions. It also inexplicably turned on settings that I would never use. It's like a PC infected with viruses. You start your ride wondering what glitch you will discover this time and you won't be able to fix it when yu are out on the course because it's hard enough trying to figure out what's wrong when you are at home in front of your computer.
It lacks proper software to prepare routes and collected analyze data. The Base Camp and Training Center (no longer supported) software are very poorly designed, more like afterthoughts. The 2 software programs are incompatible with each other and each and lack desirable features of the other. It's like Garmin farmed out software development to 2 different developers who had different ideas and no direction from Garmin. Then Garmin ditched the older software, unfortunately the more useful albeit also flawed one.
This product is a disgrace coming from a company that sponsors a pro cycling team. If this product represents the company's mentality then they are really not that interested in cycling.
Date Reviewed: March 6, 2013
Strengths: Ability to download courses/maps; tonnes of functions; touch screen is great
Weaknesses: Not intuitive to use; expensive; Garmin's instructions are useless; developed a bug and wouldn't download any of my activities into Garmin Connect after a couple of weeks
Bottom Line:
I thought this would be a "drag and drop"process but after not being able to find many decent trails on GarminConnect, I searched strava, ridewithgps and mapmyride for other courses( I assume there are a great deal of Garmin users who have ridden the trails in and around Phoenix but they never shared or uploaded them into Garmin connect? Dunno..). Spent a good deal of time searching the internet to figure out how get files into the Garmin, as the instructions from Garmin were pretty much useless. I naively thought a gps course on one site is the same format as a gps course on another site.
Finally was able to get a number of courses loaded and went away for my trip. It worked well on the trail, keeping us from getting lost on unfamiliar rides and doing a great job of everything else.
The issue came when I tried to update my activities into GarminConnect and it would not find any new activities to upload. Talked ot a guy at a bikeshop and i read about others who had the same problem that the fix is to do a reboot/hard shutdown and reinstall everything. As I didn't want to lose all the courses I had loaded into it until I was finished my trip, I waited until I got home to try loading them onto my old computer and that didnt work either. (I was using a new computer with Windows 8 on my trip as well and wasn't sure if htat was causing a compatibility issue?)
At that point, I packed it back it and returned it. Too much money for so much hassle, in my mind.
I admit it could be user error but since it was so hard to find straightforward information on how to upload, use, fix errors, etc, it is not worth it for me.
Make it more user friendly and fix the bugs and I might consider again.

The 800 is easier to manipulate and the touch screen is great to navigate the menus and such, but the screen is a deal breaker. I also liked the idea of being able to put custom maps and satellite imagery into it.

Strengths: Great unit, does everything for training, riding, mapping, navigating. Works well.
Weaknesses: I damaged the screen on the top right corner, it still works but the top 20% of the screen is now not visible. There are cracks appearing from the left side now, but it has never suffered any damage in that area so I'm not too happy about that.

Date Reviewed: February 27, 2012
Strengths: Easy To Use, Accurate, Wireless, Large Display, Data Logger, 2nd Bike System
Weaknesses: Expensive toy, Maps are Pricey too & yearly upgrades are not free
Bottom Line:
The Edge 800 finds the satellites, Speed/Cadence sensor, and heart monitor really fast. Touch screen works with or with gloves, and also like the auto scroll screen feature. You can customize the data fields and enable several pages to view the desired information during the ride. Data logging works like a charm and auto routing is a plus, especially when added with the any street or topo map SD cards. You can also create multiple bike profiles and can sync with multiple monitor sensors.
The new mount design is more durable & strong unlike the Edge 705 mounts, and easy to mount & dismount. The auto night mode is also helpful when riding past dawn. Love the Virtual Partner feature for workouts & training so you can keep track of your progress. Also like the auto lap, auto pause, speed & HR alert features.
Garmin Connect is awesome to upload all your rides & share it directly with social websites.

Strengths: Very easy to use and set up... Also easy to install Garmin software.
Very strong signal... Have yet to lose signal due to cloud cover or canopy cover.
Was able to find free topo maps for my area that overlay the basemap.
Touch screen works with gloves!
Weaknesses: The 800 is a bit expensive but is well worth it!
I bought the kit... Came with the HR strap and the speed/cadence sensor.
The speed/cadence sensor is one unit and would not work properly with my bikes frame design so I had to buy a Bontrager Ant+ speed sensor... There is also a Wahoo Fitness speed/cadence sensor that would work on a wider variety of frames.
I also just upgraded my stem and am having trouble mounting to the new stem... Will have to figure something out!
Bottom Line:
I am also working on mapping a local trail network that has yet to be mapped.
If you have a few extra bucks laying around and want to get the most from your rides PICK ONE UP!

Strengths: Great mapping ability incl TOPO maps I have for other Garmin units. Nice touchscreen and plenty of information on various screens that are totally customizable to suit your needs.
Weaknesses: None so far
Bottom Line:
It is a good idea to install all the necessary software first!! before hooking up any Garmin product. That makes interfacing the systems much easier.
The Edge 800 has a strong receiver, that even under heavy tree canopy's, has rarely, if ever, lost signal. I have been in Colorado with it and uploaded some TOPO maps and they worked very well getting of the beaten track.
The HR monitor works well also and the speed/cadence is great too, even though on an MTB it is a little less important than on a road bike IMHO.
All in all a great machine..

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- With the back to school retail season stretching longer, when is the best time to shop? It depends what you're buying, and some deals don't stop when kids head back to class. Good Morning Kentuckiana has today's Consumer Watch.
For the scoop on deals yet to come and some tips for next year, look no further than this advice.
Much like the holiday retail season, back to school shopping has adopted some seasonal creep. "We noticed this year, in 2013, back to school promotions started earlier than ever. Retailers started promotions, deals, sales, even before the Fourth of July, which is really shocking to many people," said Matthew Ong of Nerdwallet.com.
So, when is the best time to shop? Waiting to buy certain trendy clothes and shoes may mean missing out. "If your kids are asking for something specific, especially if it's tied to a hot summer movie, I would urge parents to get those things early so they don't sell out," said Trae Bodge from Retailmenot.com.
For basic supplies, however, the best deals may be yet to come. "Buy enough in August or July to get your child through the first couple months of the school year. Then, look for sort of the rest to beef up your inventory in September, and even after that in October," Bodge said. Take time to research big-ticket items like electronics. "Do your comparison shopping early and online and know that the season is a long season, so know that you do have some time," Ong said.
Despite the ease of online shopping, retailers may still have surprises in store. "Stores are going to be doing a lot of interesting things to incentivize the consumer to come into the store and then push them all the way through the register. So that we will see some interesting trends there for back to school and very much so in the holiday season as well," claimed Bodge.
If you have a consumer issue you'd like us to look into send an e-mail to email@example.com.

Notes Part 3Posted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Random Notes:
- March is the month when Petersburgians are most likely to be killed by falling icycles. This morning I was whistled by a traffic cop for walking too close to a building that was tossing deadly chunks of ice down at the passing pedestrians.
- The Cyrillic alphabet is like John Cage: first it is annoying, then it's fun, then it's annoying, then it's fun, then it's annoying, then it's fun, etc., etc., etc.
- Health Notes: 1] Nobody here is overweight. 2] Everybody here smokes.
- Sidewalk shoveling seems to be the exclusive provenance of women.
- It's been snowing two days straight, but weather seems to have no impact on the steady, heavy flow of pedestrian traffic and daily business on Nevsky Prospect. Even street musicians continue to perform, with temperatures in the single digits (Fahrenheit).
- I tried to buy some sausage at a market around the corner, but the grocers refused to sell it to me, insisting that I really wanted hot dogs. Who was I to argue? But I really wanted the sausage.

Chicago FBI agents are on the hunt for a west side man known as "Fat Rat."
The "Fat Rat's" real name is Corey Griffin. He's one of 100 men Chicago police and FBI agents set out to arrest last month following a two year long investigation called "Operation Blue Knight." Despite hundreds of police, FBI agents and US Marshalls attempting to arrest 100 men on the same day, Griffin is one of two suspects who still managed to somehow get away. Investigators say Griffin was not at his west side home when they tried to arrest him on November 17th.
This investigation focused primarily on the Traveling Vice Lords street gang selling heroin in an area known as "K-O", or the intersection of Kedzie and Ohio. Agents says Griffin acted as a "runner" for this street gang by transporting drugs from a prime area location to pack workers out on the street. Police say the drugs were then sold out on the street in "open air" market, 24 hours a day, generating anywhere from three thousand to six thousand dollars a day.
Sources say "Operation Blue Knight" was sparked by suspicions that one of the gang members was involved in the 2008 murder of Chicago police detective Robert Soto and his companion Kathryn Romberg.
Forty-year old Corey Griffin is now wanted on federal drug charges for his role in this operation. Investigators say he is from the west side and believe Griffin is hiding out in the Chicago area. He also has previous convictions for battery, aggravated assault and murder.
Here is a detailed description of what investigators say Griffin looks like. He is described as a black male, about 5' 9", weighing around 220 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes and an angel tattoo on his left arm.
Griffin is considered armed and dangerous.
If you have any information about this case, call the Chicago FBI bureau at (312) 421-6700

3 ways to own strong Canadian banks
These ETFs will let you hold a group of solid financial stocks.
By Will Ashworth
In the InvestorPlace special report "Future of Financials" last week, one of my recommendations for bank stocks was to look north of the border to Canada. That's because four of Canada's big banks were in the top 10 of Bloomberg's latest list of the World's Strongest Banks.
While my favorite is Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS), you can own all of them by buying an ETF. But which one makes the most sense for the average investor?
I'm a big fan of Bank of Nova Scotia because its international expansion focuses on emerging markets rather than the U.S., which we all know is still going through tremendous turmoil five years after the financial crisis first began.
The ETF with the biggest BNS weighting is the iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund (EWC) at 4.83%. The fund tracks the MSCI Canada Index, has 104 holdings with four banks in the top 10 -- including BNS, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) and the Bank of Montreal (BMO) -- and has a quite reasonable 0.52% expense ratio. Farther down the list, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM) is the 13th-largest position, and National Bank of Canada (NTIOF) is 25th-largest.
In addition to owning some of the world's strongest banks, EWC gives you access to the Canadian economy, which has managed to survive the five-year crisis better than most. Financials are the largest sector represented in the fund at 33.8% of the holdings, with energy and materials next with 26.8% and 18.8%, respectively. However, if you're someone like me who loves consumer discretionary and consumer staples stocks, you'll be sadly disappointed -- those two sectors account for just 7.2% of EWC's holdings.
Do you like the idea about investing in Canada but are worried about the fluctuation in currencies? Deutsche Bank offers the db-X MSCI Canada Currency-Hedged Equity Fund (DBCN). This ETF's holdings are slightly different and it tracks the results of the MSCI Canada U.S. Dollar Hedged Index. It's one basis point cheaper than the iShares fund, but it has very limited volume, which means you should consider it only if you would plan to hold it for the long term.
On the other hand, if it's banks you're after and not so much the other Canadian industries, you have at least one other choice. That's the SPDR S&P International Financial Sector ETF (IPF), which owns banks and other financial services firms from everywhere except the U.S. Canada represents the second-largest country weighting at 15.81%, only 24 basis points lower than the United Kingdom. Three Canadian banks are in the top five, and four Australian banks are in the top 10, including Westpac Banking (WBK), a firm I like. At 0.5%, IPF's expense ratio is lowest of these three ETFs.
At the end of the day, though, the best way to own the Canadian banks is through the iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund. If you're interested in more than Canada, the SPDR is the way to go.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

As of Friday, October 14, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Aaron Blair is simple and unassuming.
Most are unaware that the energetic, Ohio-born man — who is rather trim by Southern standards — strolling the city's central streets is carrying the heart of downtown on his shoulders, and to many people's surprise, carrying it well.
A year into his job as downtown manager and CEO of the Albany-Dougherty Inner City Authority, Blair has heard all of the chatter about how downtown revitalization will never work, how downtown is a haven for crime, corruption and graft, and how the city's determination to pour time and money downtown is futile.
But hearing and believing are two separate things.
"I've heard what people have said. And, looking back, I guess I didn't really understand how bad the perception of downtown was when I took this job," Blair said.
And, to be fair, the critics had a lot to wail about.
Blair moved into his fifth-floor office shortly after former downtown manager Don Buie — an outsider from Maryland who ended up banished from Albany after a stint in jail for abusing his authority — was being tossed out.
And, with the exception of a few courageous entrepreneurs, downtown had seen relatively few businesses opening their doors.
The only thing more scarce than tenants on the streets of downtown Albany was the amount of public trust invested by residents of the city in the downtown manager's office.
But now, more than a year after Blair, his wife Jessica, and his faux hawk wandered into Albany, redevelopment efforts downtown are on the verge of success.
The Downtown Merchant's Association is active and growing; Blair has started a monthly night-time social event called "Nights@Dtown" that is growing in popularity; Winedown Wednesdays at Chill Bar and Lounge is popular among the professionals, and more than 12 new storefront businesses have opened since January 2011.
The biggest accomplishment, however, is overcoming the perception that plagued downtown when he first started the job, Blair said.
"We've got a lot of energy started downtown, and that's something that is really resonating with people," Blair said. "We've got a lot of people who believe in downtown and who want to be here. The trick is making it all work."
And there are other things in the works.
The city and ADICA are on the verge of a makeover on the 100 block of Pine Avenue. The entire street, from Riverfront Park to Washington Street, will be resurfaced, with sidewalks repaired and the street narrowed to make it safer for pedestrian and motor-vehicle traffic.
ADICA is moving forward with plans to create an art park on the same block of Pine Avenue in what used to be a NAPA auto parts store. That project will turn the blighted building into a space for artists and public reflection.
And then there are the residential projects.
"Looking forward, retail and residential projects have got to be part of the scope of work downtown," Blair said. "There are ways to do it, either through lofts or through development of neighborhoods on the outskirts of the traditional downtown area. But it has to be there to make it all work."
The two most significant projects downtown during Blair's second year as manager started before he ever took the job.
The first — the demolition of the existing Broad Avenue bridge and construction of a new one — is expected to begin sometime next year and will reopen a corridor connecting east and west Albany that has been closed for more than two years.
Just northeast of the bridge, near the Sandy Bottom District, the state of Georgia and city of Albany will likely begin construction of a new multimodal transit station at some point during 2012.
The station will house the city's bus operations and will be a hub for cab drivers across the city. Preliminary discussions of the building suggest it will also feature retail shops and other mixed-use spaces as well.

Shot of Good News for This Vaccine Maker
Brandy is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Centers for Disease Control recently released a study showing that the introduction of human papillomavirus vaccines has significantly reduced infection rates among teenaged girls. That's good news for the manufacturers of the only two HPV vaccines approved in the United States: Merck's (NYSE: MRK) Gardasil and GlaxoSmithKline's (NYSE: GSK) Cervarix.
The global HPV vaccine market has recently swayed towards one of these companies -- but what does that mean for its financial health?
Effective vaccinations
HPV is an extremely common sexually transmitted disease. There are numerous types of HPV and many simply work themselves out of the body without symptoms. But other types can cause genital warts or cancer.
The new study was purposefully zoomed in on the types of HPV covered under the vaccines. There are over a dozen types of high risk HPV that can cause some form of cancer. Two types --16 and 18 - cause more than 70% of all cervical cancer cases. And those are the types that both Gardasil and Cervarix cover.
The study showed a 56% decrease in infection rates for those two types of HPV in teenaged females between the ages of 14 and 19 -- historically the target patient group for the vaccines. That's a significant drop considering Gardasil didn't hit the U.S. market until 2006.
And the reduction happened despite relatively poor adherence to the vaccine regimen, which requires a trio of injections. According to USA Today, 46% of young women receiving the vaccine stop at the first dose and only 32% finished the process.
The United States has a lower rate of HPV vaccinations than other countries such as Japan and Australia, which have stronger enrollment programs. But the evidence of how well the vaccines are working could send more patients to the doctor for vaccination.
Future growth?
Merck would see the most gains from an influx of vaccination patients. Gardasil is approved for two more HPV types than Cervarix. And Gardasil received Food and Drug Administration approval for vaccinating men against HPV to help protect against various types of cancer including anal and penile.
Gardasil's sales grew 35% last year to $1.6 billion while Cervarix sales fell 46% to around $412 million. Cervarix will continue to fall without broader indications -- especially now that the U.K.'s National Health Service has switched its official recommendation from Cervarix to Gardasil. And both drugs could suffer if Japan's current investigation into the safety issues of the vaccines turns out to be anything other than caution.
So Merck's winning the vaccine race. But how dependent are the companies on having a successful product in this space?
Drug dependence
Merck's limping after the patent expiration of Singulair, the $4 billion asthma and allergy medication. Without Singulair, Gardasil becomes Merck's fourth best-selling drug. The company's product portfolio is a bit hit-and-miss and an established growth opportunity can go a long way in promoting investor confidence.
The Cervarix decline comes at an inopportune time for GlaxoSmithKline. European austerity measures impacted overall sales last year and the year-over-year drop in Cervarix demand hit in the third quarter. Share prices down over 9% for 2012.
But investors have had time to cope with the slump in Cervarix sales. Attention is instead focused on the late-stage pipeline, which will serve as the real make-or-break issue for GlaxoSmithKline this year.
Foolish final thoughts
Even though the CDC's study had a narrow focus, the results show that the vaccines are helping to keep dangerous forms of HPV in check. The U.S. needs to increase the number of vaccinated people and this new data might be enough to get some doubtful patients off the fence. And an influx of patients could move Gardasil up the ranks of Merck's products -- and make the company a safer bet after the Singulair loss.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND - Jean Moudry of Mission with her bright red hair and her bold red nails stood with her hands clasped together at her chest as she waited for her ride to destiny.
After years of debating with herself and friends, the 82-year-old Nebraska native finally set her sights on her dream crusade of soaring through the clouds in a Cessna plane before jumping at approximately 12,000 feet in the air with a parachute for her 83rd birthday.
Joined by friends and family, Moudry, an Ann Richards Middle School volunteer, said the skydiving adventure was part of her bucket list of things she wanted to do in life.

PARIS, Feb 1 (Tierramérica).- The Amazon forest "is very close to a tipping point," and if destruction continues, it could shrink to one third of its original size in just 65 years, warns Thomas Lovejoy, world-renowned tropical biologist.Climate change, deforestation and fire are the drivers of this potential Amazonian apocalypse, according to Thomas Lovejoy, biodiversity chair at the Washington DC-based Heinz Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, and chief biodiversity adviser to the president of the World Bank.Lovejoy laid out the scenario for participants at the Biodiversity Science Policy Conference in Paris last week, sponsored by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), and marking the beginning of the UN's International Year of Biodiversity."The World Bank released a study that finally put the impacts of climate change, deforestation and fires together. The tipping point for the Amazon is 20 percent deforestation," and that is "a scary result," Lovejoy told Tierramérica in an interview.The study, "Assessment of the Risk of Amazon Dieback," released Jan. 22, drew on the expertise of several international research institutions, including Japan's Meteorological Research Institute, Britain's Exeter University, Germany's Potsdam Institute, Brazil's Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Change (CPET/INPE) and Earth3000. The results and analysis were reviewed by a blue-ribbon panel of internationally renowned scientists.Lovejoy, head of the committee responsible for this major scientific investigation, said the Amazon has already lost 17 to 18 per cent of its forests. Furthermore, "it has a remarkable hydrogeological system where the forest generates at least half of its own rainfall."This literally means the rainforest makes its own rain, but it also brings rainfall to many areas outside of the Amazon, including the central-western Brazilian state of Mato Grosso and northern Argentina, he said.What the study shows for the first time is the combination of global warming on a path to reach two degrees Celsius, deforestation of roughly 20 percent of the original forest, and forest fires that undermine the Amazon's unique hydrogeological system. The Amazonian south and southeast will receive much less rainfall. Less moisture means those areas will be more prone to fires, which not only destroy the forest but also further dry out the surrounding forest - all of which reduces the Amazon's ability to produce rain. The process becomes a self-reinforcing feedback loop."The forest eventually converts to cerrado (the Brazilian savanna) after a lot fire, human misery, loss of biodiversity and emission of carbon into the atmosphere," said Lovejoy. The Earth's average temperature has already warmed 0.8 degrees Celsius since the pre-industrial era. At the 15th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Copenhagen in December, virtually all countries agreed that the warming must not surpass two degrees.The report's conclusion: "For the Amazon as a whole, the remaining tropical forest will shrink to about three-quarters of its original area by 2025 and further to about only one-third of its original extension by 2075 as a result of these combined impacts of climate change, deforestation, and fire.""The good news is that deforested areas can be reforested and provide a safety margin," said Lovejoy, maintaining some optimism.It is estimated that a single hectare of Amazon rainforest contains about 900 tons of living plants, including more than 750 types of trees and 1,500 other plants, the report notes.A single pond in Brazil can sustain a greater variety of fish than is found in all of Europe's rivers, and more than 2,000 species of fish have been identified in the Amazon Basin - more species than in the entire Atlantic Ocean.The Andean mountain range and the Amazon jungle are home to more than half of the world's species of flora and fauna. For example, one in five of all birds in the world can be found there.Sadly, before the end of this century many, and perhaps most, of those species will become extinct. After millions of years of existence many plants, insects, birds, animals will never to be seen again on the Earth. Habitat loss and climate change will be the biggest reasons for their extinction.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change conservatively estimates that 30 percent of all species will be extinct by the end of this century, if keeping climate change is not kept below two degrees. Other experts, such as eminent Harvard entomologist E.O. Wilson, told participants at the UNESCO conference that extinctions could go as high as 50 percent."Our purpose this year is to focus the world's attention on the need to stop the destruction of biodiversity, the destruction of nature," Ahmed Djoghlaf, executive secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity said in the opening address of the conference in Paris. The countries party to the Convention agreed in 1990 to slow the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. "We will not meet that goal," Djoghlaf told Tierramérica.However, with the launch of the International Year of Biodiversity, and the many events, celebrations and conferences to be held around the world, Djoghlaf hopes biodiversity, which is another term for nature, will garner interest and support from the public and policy makers. With the theme "Biodiversity is life. Biodiversity is our life," organizers are launching a largely educational effort to explain that plants, animals, insects, birds, and bacteria make up the world's ecosystems, which provide humanity with food, fiber, clean water and air.According the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, "60 percent of the world's ecosystems are degraded and failing. We have an obligation to change our ways. This is not a luxury," Djoghlaf said.In October, the 193 countries that have signed the Convention will set new biodiversity reduction targets at a conference in Nagoya, Japan. The failure to achieve the 2010 targets for protecting biodiversity resulted from countries' inability to define how they would reach them, Djoghlaf said. Having learned from these mistakes, he is confident that countries will set specific national goals to reduce species loss, with comprehensive plans on how to achieve them. That will then feed into a global target for 2020."We will have studies, reports and scientific indicators to guide us, but in the end it is up to policy makers to set targets and policies that will make it happen," said the biodiversity chief.

Ford Rides Major Coincidence to Boost Marketing For Struggling Brand
Michael is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Strategic marketing and a bit of luck, Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) hopes, will help the auto giant awaken its Lincoln brand. Lincoln has suffered in recent years: an older buying crowd combined with dull models has tanked Lincoln's sales.
Believe it or not, just a decade and a half ago, Lincoln was actually the top-selling luxury auto brand in the U.S., rolling more than 230,000 cars off the lot each year. Marked by their signature Town Car and their industry-leading Navigator S.U.V., Lincoln led the industry. However, German engineering and brands like Toyota's (NYSE: TM) Lexus division have proved to be too much for Lincoln to keep up with.
Now, Lincoln pulls into the eighth spot in the luxury car rankings, selling 69,000 from January through October of this year, down 64 percent since their reign over the luxury car industry.
Lincoln's parent company, Ford, has recently undergone a major turnaround, boosting sales and unleashing more fuel-efficient and technological models. However, these changes haven't helped Lincoln. Now, Lincoln only accounts for just 3 percent of Ford's total sales, down 5 percent from the 8 percent stake in Ford's sales that Lincoln held in its glory days.
So, what does Ford have planned for Lincoln? Major marketing changes, to start.
The brand plans to emphasize the origin of its name: Abraham Lincoln. A strange advertising campaign unveils the president, with pipe and hat in all his glory, as the face of the advertisements. Ford also plans a Super Bowl commercial featuring the abolitionist hero front and center.
The relation to the new Steven Spielberg film "Lincoln" is purely coincidental according to Mark VanDyke, Lincoln's senior marketing executive. "We didn't plan it that way," he says, "but sometimes it's better to be lucky." The movie release certainly helps more than it hurts for the card brand, who will slap Lincoln's face on its commercials as fast as possible to create the mental link with the movie while it is still in consumers' minds.
Lincoln also plans major reconstruction for its website, including a "concierge" in which customers can set up appointments with dealerships or schedule test drives. It will also feature an available consultant 24 hours a day to provide the ability for customers to have live discussions about the various vehicles. In fact, potential buyers will even be given the chance for what Lincoln is calling a "date night," including a meal at a restaurant and a two-day test drive experience.
In terms of the actual cars, Lincoln is set to begin the comeback with the midsize MKZ, starting with a complete redesigning. Three other new models will be introduced, including an S.U.V. and a large sedan.
Staff members are being retrained at over 300 dealers in what is being called "The Lincoln Academy" across the country to emphasize the new model of Lincoln's sales, redefining the basics like how to welcome potential buyers and how to celebrate buyers' anniversaries of past Lincoln purchases.

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash.—A local mother saved her kids during a deadly house fire near Van Marter and 48th on Tuesday night.
Firefighters said the mother, who is married to a firefighter, was taken to the hospital for burns and smoke inhalation after saving her children. The family dog died in the fire.
"Without the heroic efforts of Firefighter Pete Flatt's wife (Rachelle) this fire could have been much more tragic," said Assistant Chief Greg Godfrey.
Rochelle Flatt said she put the children down to bed for the night when she noticed flames on the back patio. She called 911 and as she turned to get her kids, she heard a loud noise. The relief valve on the BBQ propane tank exploded and shattered the patio doors, according to officials.
The fire and heavy smoke came straight into the house as Flatt removed their oldest child to the front yard and then re-entered the house to rescue the other child and baby.
"When I turned around for my last trip in for Owen it was intimidating because it was so black and there wasn't any way I wasn't coming out without him," said Rachelle Flat. "When I got to the front door it shut behind me so I was having a hard time feeling for the handle and so I really started to panic because we were right there at the door but I couldn't get it open."
The smoke and heat were intense as Flatt's wife was exiting the house with the baby. She received minor burns to her ears, singed hair and severe smoke inhalation.
"I just did what I feel like any parent would probably do," said Flatt.
Firefighters from Spokane County Fire District 8 and Spokane Valley Fire Department arrived and put out the fire. Crews arrived to find heavy fire coming from the back of the house and the attic area. Firefighters entered the house and were able to stop the fire before it spread beyond the first floor.
Flatt's husband was working on the South Hill at the time of the call. He was been a firefighter for almost 10 years.
Rachelle Flatt was released from the hospital Wednesday according to fire officials.
Fire investigators said there was $100,000 done to the structure of the house and about $50,000 in contents.
The International Association of firefighters Local 3711 has set up a fund for the Flatt family. Any cash or check donation can be dropped off or mailed to any Spokane Teachers Credit Union. All checks can be made out to the "Flatt Fire Family Fund."
If you have clothing or toys you wish to donate, you can leave them at Fire District 8's Fire Station 84, at 4410 S. Bates Road in Spokane Valley.

A West Orange resident recently landed a contract to sell her hand-made body products in four Whole Foods locations in New Jersey.
Nicole Silva, a second-place winner of Rising Tide Capital's 2013 Start Something Challenge, will sell hand-blended oils and scrubs, created with natural, organic ingredients at Whole Foods stores in West Orange, Madison, Paramus and Edgewater.
A year after winning the challenge, Silva's company, DollyMoo, has grown significantly. She used her $7,500 cash prize to design new labels and update her packaging to meet FDA standards.
"We are so excited about this opportunity," Silva said. "This is going to give us great credibility and the exposure we need to increase our customer base. Over the next few weeks we will be making appointments with other Whole Foods' locations with hopes of being in more stores. We are ready to spread the love with DollyMoo."
Silva started DollyMoo in 2010, after creating hand-made body scrubs for herself, family and friends. When she received positive feedback and encouragement to start a business and increase production, she enlisted her sister Amy to help change her hobby into a business.
Silva was inspired by her experience in the Start Something Challenge to enroll in RTC's Community Business Academy where she learned business skills needed to expand and market her business.
"While participating in The Start Something Challenge, I gained so many valuable skills and established connections at Rising Tide Capital that inspired me to take the CBA. I spoke with CBA graduates who had raving reviews and were starting their businesses," Silva said.

He's the Duke Nukem of Marvel, encompassing everything the video game used to offer, you know, before it "grew up." No longer are vulgarity and sexism appropriate forms of entertainment... or are they? Playing Deadpool,... Read More

The search continues for a missing Kittson County woman, who is suffering from depression.
Dawn Carlson of Lake Bronson, Minnesota has not been seen since last week. Carlson was driving a 2001, black Sable like this one with Minnesota license plate number: 743-ECY.
The Sheriff's Department does not suspect foul play. They say Dawn Carlson was last seen here, in Karlstad last Wednesday morning, driving her black Sable.
Authorities say Carlson was unemployed and apparently suffering from some mental issues.
Deputy Mark Wilwant, Kittson County Sheriff's Dept."Likes to keep to herself. Initially it wasn't that alarming that she disappeared because she likes to keep to herself. But, family and friends say she's never done this to this extent before."
Today, a State Patrol helicopter flew the area searching for Carlson's car. Sunday, several local fire departments searched around Carlson's Lake Bronson home and across the County. But, she may have left the area.
Deputy Wilwant says it appears Carlson has been trying to put together enough money to get down to the Brainard-Baxter area to see family and friends. We now have learned the Carlson was also seen last Monday at a Thief River car dealership looking for money.
Dep. Wilwant: "I mean, she's going around trying to sell her car. She was trying to sell some of her stuff to possibly get some money, which would go along with her wanting to get to a different area."
Wilwant says at this point, authorities around Brainerd have also, not had any luck in finding the missing woman.
If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Dawn Carlson, you're asked to contact police immediately.
Original Story
Authorities and family members are searching for information about Dawn Carlson. She was last seen in the city of Karlstad, Minnesota, on October 2, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Dawn is driving a black 2001 Mercury Sable four door sedan with a dent on the passenger's door, Minnesota license plate 743-ECY. Family members report that Dawn is suffering from depression and they are concerned for her safety.
On October 6 at approximately 1:30 p.m. the Lancaster Fire Department, the Lake Bronson Fire Department, and the Karlstad Fire Department were paged out to help search for Dawn Carlson.
The Kittson County Sheriff's Department is asking for anyone with information concerning Dawn Carlson, or the location of her vehicle, to please contact the Sheriff's Office immediately at 1-218-843-3535.
