Stock Spin-Offs – What Should Dividend Investors do?
In general, as long as the characteristics which enabled the original company to raise dividends for decades are still intact, chances are that the separate entities will continue raising distributions. For example, Altria Group (MO) was able to spin-off Kraft (KFT) in 2007 and Phillip Morris International (PM) in 2008. Before that, the original company was able to raise annual distributions for over three decades. After the spin-offs, Altria (MO) has kept up with raising dividends to its shareholders, as did Phillip Morris International (PM). Both companies were able to increase earnings per share over the same period, which enabled them to achieve the task of higher dividends ever since.
Kraft (KFT) on the other hand has been unable to increase distributions more than once since the spin-off, due to its inability to increase earnings and due to the costs associated with the acquisition of Cadbury in 2010. Now Kraft (KFT) itself is in the process of splitting in two separate companies, the global snacks business with annual sales of $32 billion and a high margin grocery business, with annual sales of $16 billion.
Abbott Labs on the other hand is splitting in two companies. The first one will be a research-based pharmaceuticals company, which will own Abbott's premier drug names such as Humira, Lupron, Synagis to name a few. It would be basically a drug company, which focuses on keeping its pipeline of new drugs coming to the market, through constant investment in research and development. Drug companies have faced steep patent cliffs over the past several years, which has intensified mergers in the sector.
The second company will be a diversified medical products company, and its name would remain Abbott. It would own established nutritional products, medical devices and diagnostics products as well as generic drugs outside of the US.
As a dividend growth investor, I plan on holding on to these stocks after the spin-offs. I believe that both companies would be able to better focus on their goals as standalone entities. Despite the fact that I do require a minimum of ten consecutive annual dividend increases in order to purchase new stocks, I make an exception for spin-offs. I do monitor each situation closely however, as inability to raise dividends over time would prohibit me from allocating any new capital to such positions.
Once investors receive the new shares in each of the new companies, initially I expect that the dividends in total to be equal to the total dividend paid out by Abbott. Overtime however, I expect these dividends to grow. As a result, given the fact that Abbott has had a long culture of dividend increases and the fact that it is priced attractively at the moment, I would keep accumulating the stock in my income portfolio.
Full disclosure: Long KFT, PM, MO, ABT

I am still confused about your holdings on KFT.ReplyDelete
They have not raised dividends for 10 years, or even for the past three consecutively!
I thought your criteria was strict? Dividend cut or maintain and you sell? Or are you holding to try to recapture some principal (and putting emotion into it)?
Thank you
Please respond to my questions.ReplyDelete
Last year I started a Scottrade Account and then found out they do NOT REINVEST DIVIDENDS!
Who do you use to reinvest your dividends?
Would Vanguard be a good choice to transfer to, so I can reinvest dividends?
KFT is a hold. Part of shares received from Altria spin off in 2007. No new money added in a while.
I do not reinvest dividends automatically. I wait for them to accumulate, or add funds to accumulated divdends before I buy more stock in same or different company

If you want to have dividends reinvested automatically, I would recommend Sharebuilder. They will automatically reinvest dividends and will allow for partial shares which is useful if you have a smaller portfolio. For example, I just received a dividend on a company that I only own a couple shares of. The dividend was reinvested and 0.04 shares were purchased.
Thanks for addressing this issue. I'm not a shareholder of ABT, but when I heard the spinoff announcement, I posed the question to myself what I would do if I were.ReplyDelete
In all honesty, I never answered that to my own satisfaction.
If the businesses are both strong and related, I prefer that a company keep everything in house as it were.
That's one of the reasons why I'm such a big fan of PEP - granted, the North American beverage market has been flat for a while now, but it's a stable business and there's still lots of growth opportunities in the emerging markets. And I really like the Gatorade brand, too. Plus there's also Frito Lay and even Quaker Oats.
I think the product diversity helps sustain the overall business even as there have been recent calls to break up the company in order to "unlock" value via the share price.
I'm pretty confident in stating that you and I are less "capital appreciation" type people and more "effective yield" type people.
My question to you re: the ABT move is what your future dividend expectations are for each of the two separate companies. Do you see a clear winner when it comes to future dividend growth?
And if you could only own one of the two newly formed companies, which one would you own?
Nice post DGI.ReplyDelete
I too, plan on holding my ABT.
Will include this one in next week's roundup ;)
@Drew... "Who do you use to reinvest your dividends?"ReplyDelete
I like TD Ameritrade for Dividend Reinvestment broker. All you do is ask to setup all your stock holdings as a dividend reinvestment and your done.
- AnonymousNovember 5, 2011 at 8:54 AM
Do you use an automatic stop loss or do you just look at a stock that is dropping and evaluate it as if you were purchasing it new?ReplyDelete
Drew, I use Vanguard and have found their service excellent. I have them reinvest dividends of some companies and for companies that I don't want to grow my position in, I take in cash sent to my money market accountReplyDelete

When a company splits, in this case KFT, what becomes of the shares held by investors? does each share become worth 2 in 1 of the new co`s or does a shareholder get 1 in each co. or do shareholder get a choice of co`s to recieve shares in or???? Please respond.ReplyDelete
When a company splits, investors will end up with shares in two companies.
In Kraft's situation, investors will probably keep shares of Kraft but also receive some proportional amount of stock in the spin off company.
I finally found this article it is great. Why did you not mention it to me before. This answers a lot of questions. TY SuzanneReplyDelete

For the last few years, I've been trying to wear multiple hats, some fitting better than the others.
Entrepreneur – I am the founder of MBA Crystal Ball, an MBA admissions consulting venture that provides career counselling and helps Indian applications get into the top international MBA programs. I left my Mergers & Acquisitions career (which I took up after completing my MBA from the University of Cambridge) and bid adieu to the corporate world in 2011 to focus full-time on my entrepreneurial aspirations.
Author – My book Beyond The MBA Hype, published by HarperCollins, advises MBA applicants on the pitfalls and opportunities of applying to international MBA courses. Within 3 months of getting released, the first print run was sold out. In 3 years, it's had got a new edition and 4 reprints.
Columnist – I wrote a regular column for Firstpost, a mainstream news and views publication owned by Network18. I've been featured in other leading publications like CNN IBN Live, The Times of India, The New Indian Express (and an interview), The Hindu and Rediff.
Puzzle Creator – Onnicles are innovative online word puzzles that involve identifying celebrity names hidden in regular English sentences. They first got published in the Herald Sun, Australia's leading newspaper with an estimated daily readership of 1.5 million. If you are in the mood for a creative break, head over to the Onnicles page on Facebook to play online word games.

Joseph Fels
Joseph Fels (1853-1914) was an American soap manufacturer, millionaire, and philanthropist.
Born of German Jewish immigrants in Halifax County, Virginia, Fels moved with his family to Baltimore in 1866; by 1876 he'd assumed control of a soap manufacturing company based in Philadelphia, and brought two of his brothers in as partners shortly after. One of them, Samuel Simeon Fels, became president of the firm.
In 1894 he developed the Fels-Naptha soap brand, historically used as a home remedy in the treatment of contact dermatitis caused by exposure to poison ivy, poison oak, and other oil-transmitted organic skin-irritants. The soap is still marketed by the Dial Corporation as of 2011.
While his own fortune rapidly accumulated, as early as 1890 Fels had become an adherent of Henry George and his proposed land value tax. Fels funded the founding of the Georgist colony of Arden, Delaware, in 1900, managed by architect Will Price and sculptor Frank Stephens. This was one of several experimental labor colonies he funded. In 1894 he made financial contributions to the founding of the single-tax colony in Fairhope, Alabama, and many similar experiments in England.
From 1906 through 1912 Fels also contributed to the Jewish Territorialist Organization, in hopes that a Jewish homeland would be founded along Georgist principle. His wife Mary continued to support this cause after Fels' death on February 22nd, 1914; his brother Samuel also remained an active philanthropist. Fels also gave money to the Russian Social Democratic (Communist) party. [Source: Simon Sebag Montefiore, "Young Stalin."]

On her way to 1,000 career points, Westhill girls basketball Carly Cooper made her reputation by sinking a wide range of 3-point shots to crush the opposition.
Apparently, her teammates are picking up the habit.
By converting beyond the arc with scary regularity, the Warriors built a big early margin, then fought off a strong challenge from Bishop Ludden last Tuesday afternoon to win 70-59 and stay unbeaten, moving to 6-0 on the season.
Going in, the main difference was thought to be experience, since Westhill started four seniors and Ludden, off to a 4-1 start, did not have a single senior on its roster.
But the Gaelic Knights were not in any way intimidated in the Warriors' presence. Michelle Roesch, in particular, had a superb game, earning 23 points to lead both sides and helping Ludden control the boards for long periods of time.
Meanwhile, the Warriors faced some adversity of its own. The lone junior starter, Emily Haggerty, left early with a hand injury, not to return, and Annie O'Connor, the team's second-leading scorer, missed valuable minutes due to foul trouble and her own minor injury.
Despite all this, Westhill possessed a 50-29 lead at one point early in the third quarter. Much of that could be attributed to the Siena College-bound Cooper, who took over in the first half.
Hitting four 3-pointers along the way, Cooper got 20 of her 22 points before halftime. Haggerty also hit a pair of treys before going to the sidelines, and all those long-distance shots gave the Warriors a chance to pull far away.
Inevitably, though, Westhill cooled off, and Ludden fought back, going on a 17-3 run that covered much of the third quarter as Roesch kept making baskets and Kristen Ryan got all of her 11 points in the second half.

SEO PowerSuite
I've written extensively about bounce rate on my blog over the past several years, including how to lower your bounce rate, blog bounce rate, homepage bounce rate, etc., but I've never written about how it's connected to SEO. Bounce rate is an incredibly powerful metric that can tell you a lot about campaign performance and the quality of your content in a very short amount of time. If you're not that familiar with Bounce Rate, it's the percentage of visits that arrive on your site, visit no other pages, and then leave.
Those visitors simply visit one page on your site. From a conversion optimization standpoint, the more you can lower your bounce rate, the more opportunity you have to convert visitors. But although bounce rate optimization is extremely important, it's not the focus of my post today. Instead, I want to focus on how bounce rate impacts SEO, and specifically, how ACTUAL bounce rate affects SEO. More on the distinction between bounce rate and actual bounce rate soon. First, let's quickly explore an introduction to quality content from a search engine perspective.
Cutts, Forrester, and Panda
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of debate (and confusion) about whether bounce rate is a signal that the search engines use to determine quality content. Matt Cutts has probably been asked this question ten thousand times, and has referenced bounce rate when answering some questions about ranking factors. You can check out the part of the video about page speed to see what I'm referring to. Then with the rollout of Panda, an important algorithm update that targeted low quality content, bounce rate and other quality signals entered the spotlight.
In addition, Duane Forrester recently wrote a post defining quality content (from a Bing perspective). It's a great post, and I highly recommend you go through it thoroughly. There are some great points Duane underscores. As part of the post, Duane explains that the engines can monitor "dwell time", or the time a person remains on your page before clicking back to the search results. If visitors are clicking through the search listings to your site, and then clicking back to Bing quickly (in just a few seconds), that can be a negative signal to Bing. He clearly explained they have this on their radar from an SEO standpoint (and that it does matter for determining quality content).
So, when two of the top guys in organic search quality explain that you should keep an eye on bounce rate and quality content, you should probably listen. But, is it as easy as checking your bounce rate in Google Analytics to determine quality problems? Is the standard calculation for bounce rate the one that the engines use when determining rankings? These are great questions, and the answer is most definitely "no" to both questions. The engines have several better ways to determine actual bounce rate, engagement, etc., as well as how actual bounce rate applies to specific types of content. This is something that I've come across many times while analyzing SEO performance for clients (across industries). A high bounce rate in your analytics package does not mean that content has a high bounce rate to the search engines. Sometimes the two metrics might be close, but other times there might be a large discrepancy between them. Confused yet?
Bounce Rate vs. Actual Bounce Rate
As I explained earlier, I've known that actual bounce rate differs from bounce rate for some time. I've had the opportunity to manage SEO for a wide range of organizations, from major brands to local businesses. While helping these organizations, there were many instances of pages with high bounce rates (in Google Analytics and other analytics packages) that still ranked well in Search. The content I'm referring to would clearly be identified as high quality, unique, and valuable, but had high bounce rates. Many of the pages I am referring to ranked in the top three to five listings on page one of Google, Bing, and Yahoo. That was the case across clients, industries, domains, etc. So, it didn't take the most advanced SEO analysis to understand that other factors were at play. To me, standard bounce rate couldn't be the metric that engines were using to impact rankings. It just didn't add up.
The problem with standard bounce rate is that it's too simplistic. Check out the following two situations and I think you'll get my point. Person A visits a page via organic search, takes a quick look at a page filled with ads and low quality content, and returns to the search results. That person spent 6 seconds on the page before returning to the search results. That's clearly an "actual bounce" and would also show up in Google Analytics as a bounce. Next, Person B clicks through a listing in organic search and ends up on a thoroughly written, unique blog post about a specific topic. The content is supported by great visuals, addresses all the top concerns, provides definitions, etc. The person ends up spending 21 minutes on the page consuming the content before clicking back to the search results to perform an unrelated search. Guess what? To Google Analytics, that's a bounce. But to the engines, that's a much different situation than a bounce. They know that you spent 21 minutes before coming back to Search (by analyzing dwell time).
The scenario I listed above is a great example of the difference between actual bounce rate and standard bounce rate. This is exactly why you might see pages with high bounce rates that rank well in Search. They don't have high ACTUAL bounce rates. They have high standard bounce rates, which is too simplistic to take true engagement into account. A quick example of content that might have a high standard bounce rate, but a low actual bounce rate, would be a detailed tutorial. Someone has a problem, needs help, and the content provides a thorough solution. A person visits the content, spends a good amount of time consuming the content, is happy with her experience, and leaves. That's not an ACTUAL bounce. That's a standard bounce.
Actual Bounce Rate = Real Signals to the Engines
The example I provided above covered someone clicking from the Search results to a page, and then clicking the back button in their browser to return to the search listings. That's obviously one strong way the engines understand that you bounced, but that's not the only way.

Comment Even cooler - the annotation was done on a *real* (Score 1) 71
Genome annotation (finding all the interest features in the sequence) is really computationally intensive, due in large part to the number of separate (often sub-optimally written) algorithms that have to be chained together and interpreted. My team at the iPlant Collaborative worked with the authors of a popular open-source annotation tool called "MAKER" to get it running at scale on the 302 TFLOP Lonestar 4 supercomputer, which in turn was used by the pine team to do in a few hours what used to be 6 months of painstaking bioinformatics. In another month or so, this algorithm will be available via REST API allowing, literally, "Annotation As A Service".

Dudleya caespitosa
Dudleya caespitosa is a succulent plant known by several common names, including Sealettuce, Sand lettuce, and Coast dudleya. It is endemic to California, where it grows along the coastline in the southern half of the state.
This dudleya starts from a rosette up to 20 centimeters wide, containing up to 30 leaves. The leaves are fleshy, pale green, and cone-shaped to oblong, one or two centimeters wide and almost a centimeter thick. The stem is a caudex which grows erect up to about 20 centimeters in height before branching into the inflorescence. Its color is variable, from green to red and yellow shades. At the top is a tall inflorescence which may hold 10 or 15 flowers on each of several branches. The flowers are bright yellow with pointed petals.

In a fast-changing Kenya, the Maasai are learning the importance education plays in the evolution of their tribe into modern society. In a community where 75 percent of adults are illiterate, boys like Odupoi face the difficult task of bridging the gap between the modern world and keeping their cultural roots intact. In this interview you see that tension — but you also see a 13-year-old boy dreaming of a future!
Q:Can you tell us your name and where you live?
A: I am Odupoi Pose and I am 13 years old. I go to Nigily Primary School in Kenya and I am a Compassion child. I live with my brothers in this house and my grandmother also lives in this house.
Q: Tell us about your typical day from when you wake up in the morning. What do you do through the whole day?
A: My days are different — for example, on school days I wake up in the morning, I [take out] the animals and come back and have breakfast and prepare for school, then I go to school. On the weekends, like on Saturday, I wake up in the morning, I take out the animals, I treat the ones that are sick, then I take them out and then I go to the project. On Sundays I wake up in the morning, I take breakfast I make to the animals, I treat the sick and go herding.
Q: Tell me more about how you treat the sick animals.
A: Normally, when I get a sick animal in the morning or in the evening, a goat or a sheep, I can treat it myself because we already have medicine that we keep here. We just inject and it is OK. If it is a cow I have to have some help from my father so I call my father and we treat it together.
Q: What would you like to be when you grow up?
A: When I grow up I wish to be a newscaster because to all people to hear news from all over the world.
Q: What would you say in your newscast?
A: Good evening Compassion sponsors. I am a newscaster from the Maasai community. Behind me is the Maasai community and in front of me is the cow sheds. In the morning I wake up and milk my goats and I go open my cattle to go and graze.
Q: What is your favorite part of the Compassion program?
A: The most thing that I love in Compassion is the teaching that we are given. The teaching we are given is very good, we are teach how to grow spiritually and how to grow in a good way. They teach us how to grow and respect our parents, grow and help your parents, help your neighbors and help your community.
Q: Is there an adult you look up to, who you want to be like?
A: I wish to be like Mother Teresa. I would like to help the poor because most people do not see them as people or as valuable, so I would like to value them as people.

|Accession Number: G-11697 (MetaCyc)
Species: Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
ω,E,E-farnesyl diphosphate synthase, encoded by the Rv3398c gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, is a unique bacterial enzyme that has a structural motif similar to that of the type I geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase found in Archaea.
The Rv3398c gene was cloned and expressed in Mycobacterium smegmatis, and the recombinant protein was purified to near homogeneity [Dhiman04].
From the substrates that were tested, only geranyl diphosphate served as an acceptor for isopentenyl diphosphate. The enzyme has an absolute requirement for divalent cation. Mg2+ was preferable, but Mn2+ and Fe2+ could support catalysis, at lower rates [Dhiman04].

CALORIE-FREE FOODS... do exist ;)
Tracking everything can be difficult... Sometimes you just want something and you don't want to run to the computer or enter it in your phone.. You just want to have a little something with the kids maybe or before bed ... What if you didn't have to track it? What if you could take the calories out of your favorite foods?

Spoil yourself at lunch with multiple courses at every meal....
Do not grab the prepackaged 100 calorie packs or granola bars or a can of soup for your lunch. These options may be easy but do not base your diet around them. Ignoring for a moment all the info that says that processed stuff is unhealthy, or at a minimum fresh is better, eating packaging "stuff" is not a lifestyle...it is not maintainable. For instance, can you imagine everyday for the rest of your life eating your lunch out of a packet? That's what eating packaged stuff really boils down to.

The Trick to Cleaning Non-stick
When you switch to a lower calorie lifestyle, invariably you end up cooking differently. No doubt non-stick skillets and grill pans figure prominently as well as enamel coated cookware like Le Creuset). Cleaning these pans can be very difficult as things tend to stick the less fat you use in cooking.

Overeating? Here is how to change your mind...
When we overeat, it is rarely because we are hungry. Instead, we eat to fulfill some other need. Maybe you eat out of boredom or stress, or to comfort yourself... whatever the reason, you are not eating excessive amounts because "the" body needs it... you are over eating because your emotional self does.

So I'm far from an expert on C, but something's been bugging me about code I've been reading for a long time: can someone explain to me why C(++) programmers use typedefs to rename simple types? I understand why you would use them for structs, but what exactly is the reason for declarations I see like
typedef unsigned char uch;
typedef uch UBYTE;
typedef unsigned long ulg;
typedef unsigned int u32;
typedef signed short s16;
Is there some advantage to this that isn't clear to me (a programmer whose experience begins with Java and hasn't ventured far outside of strictly type-safe languages)? Because I can't think of any reason for it--it looks like it would just make the code less readable for people unfamiliar with the project.
Feel free to treat me like a C newbie, I honestly know very little about it and it's likely there are things I've misunderstood from the outset. ;)

How far should I go with the Star Wars novels?

Re: How far should I go with the Star Wars novels?
Mr Light wrote:
I think my least favorite thing about the Post-ROTJ novels is how pacifist and do-nothing all the Jedi are. Obviously this decision was made way before the Prequels came out and now they're stuck with it. But the Prequels showed the Jedi to be war generals while the NJO Jedi had a long tiresome debate about whether they should be fighting an extragalactic invasion because it might turn them to the dark side
Much as I love Luke in the Post-ROTJ novels, his reluctance to take action is really annoying.
To be honest that's the debate I wish they had had in the Clone Wars. Perhaps not onscreen but in a novel or comic, or it could have been more of a long-running theme running throughout the PT. I think it popped up every now and then, but I think the Jedi took to being generals a bit too fast. I mean, there seemed to be that at least some planets had militaries, and many of the ships were staffed by clones and other officers, so it stands to reason that there were trained military officers out there. I think there should've been some debate at least about if the Jedi were the best choice to be military commanders when there were other trained officers out there. It would seem like the Jedi would be mediating the war, not leading it, from how they were described in TPM.
Granted the comics which predated it showed all manner of Jedi warriors, but the movies supercede them in terms of canon. If they had bought the Jedi in as generals after the failure of Republic forces, or maybe the CW had led to a schism among the Jedi, with some fighting, some abstaining, similar to how things went down in the Knights of the Old Republic comic, I think that would've made more sense to me.
I never quite bought the Jedi jumping forward to lead this army created for mysterious purposes, which was just conveniently produced in time to counter the Separatists. It seemed like some Jedi at least would be suspicious of that.
As for Luke's reluctance, to some extent I disagree. Luke has taken the field in every major book series I've read. Now, the problem is that they've made him so powerful that the battles might become lopsided or they have to make the threat so powerful that it's ridiculous. Or they have to make up some excuse to have Luke hold back or to avoid fighting, or going all out, like he's afraid of going to the dark side or something. The desire to make Luke the greatest Jedi (notwithstanding the PT making Anakin the 'most powerful Jedi ever'), has limited them a little regarding story. Though I think Del Ray has done a good job producing some villains like the Yuuzhan Vong and situations that at least test or strain Luke's abilities sometimes. They present obstacles that couldn't always be solved with a simple lightsaber stroke. Some of their villains, unfortunately, like in LOTF, never live up to the hype, but NJO and FOTJ offered some pretty worthy adversaries.

The Nation's LGBT Health Checkup
Many government reports are quickly forgotten. In another era, the well-documented, but ineffectual study might gather dust on library shelves. Today, it's merely a PDF file no one bothers to download.
LGBT advocates are hoping that won't happen to "The Health of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People: Building a Foundation for Better Understanding," a 348-page report published by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), an independent, nonprofit organization that investigates health issues on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences.
"This is historic," says Bradley Jacklin, public policy manager at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "This is the first time the federal government has laid out a blueprint of the health challenges facing the LGBT community."
That blueprint gives LGBT health advocates and researchers a powerful, new tool.
"This is a game changer because it reframes everything from a very scientific perspective," says Robert Garofalo, MD, MPH, a Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine professor who served on the IOM committee. "Everything about how the IOM conducts its business speaks specifically to science. In some ways, that's exactly what this community needed."
Change is already in the works.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced that it would begin collecting data on sexual orientation and gender identity within the context of national health surveys by 2013, including those conducted by The National Center for Health Statistics. The IOM report was cited as the reason for the change.
"We are taking critical steps toward ensuring the collection of useful national data on minority groups, including for the first time, LGBT populations," says Kathleen Sebelius, HHS secretary. "The data we will eventually collect in these efforts will serve as powerful tools and help us in our fight to end health disparities."
Says Garofalo, "The HHS decision should be applauded as a significant major step in the right direction."
During a lecture on the IOM report sponsored by the University of Minnesota's Program in Human Sexuality, Garofalo noted that most existing LGBT health research was done from an HIV/AIDS paradigm. When it came to the health of gay men specifically, researchers tended to focus on "diseases between the navel and the knees," he said.
Advocates hope the IOM report will prompt research on a wide range of health issues - breast cancer, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, depression and more - affecting LGBT communities.
"This is the first time the government has taken a comprehensive look at LGBT health issues," says Brian Moulton, chief legislative counsel at the Human Rights Campaign.
IOM findings and recommendations
A 17-member committee chaired by Robert Graham, MD, a professor of family medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, researched and wrote the report, which included a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature.
The report listed more than a dozen key findings for LGBT people throughout the lifespan, including:
" Childhood/Adolescence
* The burden of HIV falls disproportionately on young men, particularly young black men, who have sex with men.
* LGB youth are at increased risk for suicidal ideation and attempts as well as depression. Small studies suggest the same may be true for transgender youth.
* Rates of smoking, alcohol consumption and substance use may be higher among LGB than heterosexual youth. Almost no research has examined substance use among transgender youth.
Early/Middle Adulthood
* As a group, LGB adults appear to experience more mood and anxiety disorders, more depression and an elevated risk for suicidal ideation and attempts compared with heterosexual adults. [Studies with small sample sizes suggest the same may be true for transgender adults. …

In a shock development, a deal between BAE Systems and the Serious Fraud Office has been challenged by the very judge who was expected to rubber-stamp it.
Protests are expected when arms giant BAE Systems comes to court on Monday to agree a "plea bargain" with the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).
The Duke of York has been urged to resign from his position as a UK "trade ambassador" after he appeared to defend corruption in the arms industry.
A crucial court hearing involving multinational arms firm BAE Systems will be held just before Christmas, raising fears it will allow BAE to "bury bad news".
Arms firm BAE Systems will appear in court to agree a "plea bargain" over alleged corruption. But the legality of the settlement has been questioned.
Amnesty International has called on Saudi authorities to protect domestic workers from abuse, after the discovery of the mutilated body of an Indonesian woman.
Campaigners have welcomed the news that arms giant BAE Systems is to have its accounts investigated by the Accountancy and Acturial Discipline Board.
Attempts by the arms giant BAE Systems to recruit graduates to their business were met by a series of protests at a major careers fair in central London.
As part of an ill-tempered debate, some say that there should be no mosque in Park Place, New York, until there are churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia, says Martin Marty As another thoughtful commentator remarked, this amounts to saying, "Until they are like us, we will be like them."
With sad predictability, the latest attempts to smear Peter Tatchell began before his documentary on the pope had been broadcast. But those Christians who attack him with questionable allegations need to answer the very real questions that he asks.

i have tried sram chains and not impressed. i have never broken a chain till now, sram 991 (not cheap). i have read great things about the wipperman chains and would like to give one a try.
at the mo i am running xt throughout and could either go for a xt or xtr chain or i am looking at the wipperman 908/920 chains. the wipperman 911 is way too expensive. which wipperman would be best for my xt setup.
