Morgan Stanley cautious on media, but sees several stocks punished too hard
Morgan Stanley cut its price targets on a number of media companies, citing the impact of cord cutting and skinny bundles. The firm also reduced its outlook for the pay-TV sector due to its belief that the adoption of skinny bundles will accelerate, while the outlook for cable TV ads has deteriorated slightly, given macro pressures. The firm kept a Cautious view on the media sector, but also identified several stocks in the space that it thinks have been punished too harshly by investors recently. WHAT'S NEW: TV networks in general, and cable networks in particular, have the highest margins in media and are encountering increased top and bottom line competitive pressures, Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne believes. On the top line, they are being hit by ratings and ad pressures as well as cord cutting and distribution consolidation, the analyst stated. Meanwhile, their profit is being hurt by the increased need to obtain new content and intensified competition for content from new sources like Netflix (NFLX) and Google's (GOOG) YouTube, Swinburne said. However, the analyst thinks that media stocks are "starting to get" cheap, given the leverage that many of the companies carry. Swinburne cuts his price target on 21st Century Fox (FOXA) to $31 from $37, on AMC Networks (AMCX) to $86 from $88, on CBS (CBS) to $46 from $56, on Time Warner (TWX) to $72 from $87 and on Viacom (VIAB) to $48 from $60. He kept Overweight ratings on Fox, AMC and CBS, an Equal Weight rating on Time Warner and an Underweight rating on Viacom. OVERDONE DECLINES: Swinburne believes that the declines in three media stocks - CBS, 21st Century Fox, and AMC Networks - have been overdone, while the decline in Comcast's (CMCSA) stock has also been excessive. CBS and 21st Century Fox are "best positioned for the skinny bundle" and have the cheapest valuations relative to their growth rates, Swinburne believes. Meanwhile, AMC Networks has "content momentum" and its EPS can exceed expectations, the analyst believes. Comcast is gaining share in the broadband Internet market, could take share in video soon, and has sufficient scale and offerings to benefit from the increased popularity of skinny bundles, according to the analyst, who kept an Overweight rating on the stock. The media sector could benefit from consolidation going forward, added Swinburne, who recommended that investors interested in buying potential takeover targets in the space focus on AMC Networks, MSG Networks (MSG) and Dreamworks Animation (DWA). He kept Overweight ratings on all three of those stocks. OTHERS TO WATCH: Besides Comcast, other pay TV companies include DISH Network (DISH) and Charter Communications (CHTR). PRICE ACTION: In early trading, Fox A shares lost 0.5% to $25.83, AMC fell 0.3% to $73.29, CBS added 0.2% to $41, Time Warner was little changed at $67.66 and Comcast A shares added 0.6% to $57.17.
BlackBerry posts quarterly loss, says turnaround continuing
BlackBerry (BBRY) shares are lower in morning trading after the company posted a second quarter loss that was steeper than analysts' expectations. BlackBerry is in the middle of a turnaround for its smartphone business and confirmed today that it plans to launch a new device that uses Google's (GOOG) Android operating system. EARNINGS: Excluding items, BlackBerry reported a loss per share for Q2 of (13c), below analysts' consensus estimates of (9c). Revenue for the quarter was $490M, reflecting a purchase accounting write down of deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of WatchDox. The revenue result may not compare with analysts' estimate of $611M. Looking ahead, BlackBerry said it is targeting "sustainable" non-GAAP profitability in the fourth quarter and sees "modest" sequential growth in total revenue for the rest of fiscal year 2016. The company sees a "slight" uptick in third quarter revenue compared to this quarter, and announced it will change its non-GAAP income statement presentation to be "consistent with the primary practice in the software industry." BlackBerry said it believes this is necessary due to its increased emphasis on software, as well as acquisitions of software companies with material recurring revenue streams. On the company's earnings conference call, John Chen, BlackBerry's chief executive officer, announced that the board approved an increase to the current buyback program by an additional 15M shares, bringing the total available for repurchase to 21M shares. The approval was based on expectations for continued free cash flow. Chen said that he believes the company has made "good progress" moving its software business from perpetual to subscription. Chen said he is "not satisfied" as far as overall revenue and profitability, particularly in its handset business, but said the company is focused on growing device volume profitably, generating recurring revenue from IP licensing and making its software business larger. WHAT'S NOTABLE: To help strengthen its device business, Chen confirmed BlackBerry will launch a new slider device powered by Google's Android operating system later this calendar year, to be called Priv. Chen also confirmed that the company will continue to develop and enhance the BlackBerry 10 operating system and confirmed plans to release platform updates focused on security and privacy enhancements. Chen said the company is working with Google to secure Android and is not using Samsung's (SSNLF) Knox. Chen said the company is not planning another BlackBerry 10 device this year and noted that if the plan of doing the Android type of implementation "works well," it could consider replacing BB10 or merging it into Android. PRICE ACTION: BlackBerry is down 2% to $6.89 in morning trading.

It didn't seem to have the best resolution but it's still fine. Wedding Paper Divas was great to work with. I would recommend these!"
"I had been looking for Save the Dates on several websites when I finally came across Wedding Paper Divas after seeing information about them I got an email via one of the bridal sites I am a part of. I am so glad I did. I wanted to have Postcard style Save the Dates and Wedding Paper Divas is one of the few websites that I found to have them! This design with the Looped Monogram is perfect! I love having the calender with the wedding date circled, another thing I was looking for, and I love seeing our initials stand out as well. Having the three picture design was nice as well as there were a few pictures from our engagement session that I wanted to use and I was able to. Once I placed an order, I received the proof in a couple of business days and approved it right away. I wasn't expecting the cards until the week of March 1 to March 7 but I received them yesterday! Such great quick service and I will definitely order from Wedding Paper Divas in the future."

Brazil since 1980

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis is a general survey of Brazilian society, economy, and political system since 1980. It describes the basic changes occurring as Brazil was transformed from a predominantly rural and closed economy under military rule into a modern democratic, industrial and urbanized society, with an extraordinary world class commercial agriculture in the past 60 years. In this period, Brazil passed from a pre-modern high fertility and mortality society to a modern low fertility and mortality one, the economy approached hyper inflation many times, and it abandoned a policy of protected industrialization to an economy opened to world trade. The advances and the failures of these changes are examined for the impact on questions of growth and equality. The book is designed as a basic introduction to contemporary Brazil from a recent historical perspective and is one of the first such comprehensive surveys of recent Brazilian history and development in any language. less

WALLA WALLA — Two Spokane residents are set for trial starting Aug. 27 on charges they intentionally left marijuana and chewing tobacco for distribution on the grounds of the Washington State Penitentiary early this month.
Steven D. Hackett, 52, and his fiancee, Andrea M. Olsen, 44, pleaded innocent Monday afternoon in Walla Walla County Superior Court to second-degree introducing contraband, possession of a controlled substance by a person not a prisoner, and second-degree criminal trespass.
Officials said that on June 2, Hackett and Olsen were in a vehicle — which was under surveillance — that stopped near a composting facility at the north perimeter of the prison between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.
"After the vehicle left, investigators checked the area and found several black plastic bags with colored balloons inside, containing marijuana and tobacco," according to a Walla Walla police report filed in court.
Hackett and Olsen were arrested the following day after they arrived at the prison to visit inmate Jarred T. Many, who is Olsen's son.
In the vehicle, authorities later allegedly found the same types of bags located at the composting facility. They believe Many was the intended recipient of the contraband. Apparently no correctional officers were involved in the scheme.
The discovery was the culmination of an investigation that began in April involving monitored phones calls between Olsen and Many, as well as other information investigators received, according to the police report.
Hackett and Olsen were booked into the Walla Walla County Jail, but later were released pending the outcomes of their cases.

Cesky Krumlov hotels
Cesky Krumlov General Information
A short distance from Czech Republic capital Prague, Munich, Germany and Salzburg, Austria, the beautiful town of Cesky Krumlov is a marvel - and a freely accessible one at that. The inaugural UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Czech Republic is home to a fortunate populace of about 15,000, the vast majority of whom undoubtedly walk tall, secure in the knowledge that they live in a nonpareil corner of South Bohemia.
Cesky Krumlov is a bona fide amalgam of the best of Prague under shrink-wrap. The old town is the most popular destination in the country after the seductive capital, with a lovely ensemble of landmarks to explore. Like Ceske Budovice, the Vltava River is the lifeblood of the town, despite occasional floods, and accents a gorgeous landscape. Cesky Krumlov Castle is the dominant, most conspicuous feature here and indeed, the old town was built up outside the compound walls from the 13th century on. Only Praha's own UNESCO World Heritage Castle District outstrips Cesky Krumlov's in the Czech Republic, which, for this small town, is a remarkable contrivance of history. Other points of interest do abound however and include the macabre Museum of Torture, House of Renaissance architect and engineer Jakub Krcin and a fabulous sudsy shrine in the Pivovar Eggenberg Brewery.

- Spring (March to May) 0-19°C
- Summer (June to August) 12-24°C
- Fall (September to November) 2-19°C

A surprise in the top pharma sales list is the entrance of Teva, the Israeli generics company which will become an increasingly large pharma player as the industry's patent cliff looms. Over the next seven years Teva will push into the top ten ahead of some more traditional big pharma groups like Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly and Amgen.
In terms of therapy areas biotech products targeting cancer and rheumatic disorders look set to dominate the scene, accounting for six of the top 10 in 2016. Only Glaxo's respiratory medicine Advair, which is proving incredibly resilient to generic challengers, and AstraZeneca's cholesterol fighter Crestor, will be carrying the flame for conventional, small molecules drugs in 2016.

I don't see Rampage being scared of Lyoto's power. He needs to pressure a lot so he doesn't get outpointed.

To be fair, Machida really should have gotten a title shot fairly quickly anyway, so I am assuming the winner of this one will get the winner of Rua-Evans. I know that their first fight ended in controversy, but Shogun got an instant rematch, so one could argue Machida deserved the same.
http://lowkickmma.com/author/partyboy partyboy
i think the winner of this fight will fight the winner of jones bader
http://lowkickmma.com/author/Jizzle11 Jizzle11
Except Machida got KTFO in the rematch. At least in the rematch someone got put away decisively.
http://lowkickmma.com/author/sleepy sleepy
come on lyoto won this and ur 1 step away to get ur tittle back..
http://lowkickmma.com/author/JoeySantosus Joey Santosus
Yea true, but a win is a win in their first match… Even if it was a bad call. Thats a slippery slope ya know? Once we start trying to compensate for the poor judging, then where is the line drawn? I dunno, I am not a huge Machida fan or anything… Just thinking out loud I guess.
http://lowkickmma.com/author/LowkickDick LowkickDick
Shogun lost a controversial decision while Machida got KTFO. I don't think he should get an instatn title shot but his past record should keep him within one or two fights of the title shot.
http://lowkickmma.com/author/dray12 dray12
After this fight and Evans vs Shougun, they will have all fought each other, so we would be looking at rematches in all scenerios. I think also these are four guys that are going to be competitive for a while, so personally I wouldn't be dissappointed to see another guy or two thrown into the mix by getting a title shot.
http://lowkickmma.com/author/daigoro702 daigoro702
a just waiting to see what machida bring to the table, i wonder if he changed his style a lil and is going to be more agressive either way i think the guy is one of the best, but yeah it seems that people forgot about him when he lost his title i mean he has only lost once and to one of the best so am hoping he makes a come back
http://lowkickmma.com/author/japanegro23 japanegro23
It's hard to go against Machida. He seems like such a focused fighter. I'm just going for Rampage because he is one of my all time favorites! Let's go Rampage!
http://lowkickmma.com/author/Ninja Ninja
I rather see the winner fight the winner of Jones/Bader, espeically if Jones and Machida win there fights, I would like to see them face eachother and see how they do, it'll b interesting to see what Machida does to Jones and vice versa
http://lowkickmma.com/author/SpiderSilva SpiderSilva
This is a losing battle for Rampage let's face it. Dont get me wrong I love Rampage but we all know he doesnt check kicks and get frustrated when he's getting punished and cant deal back. We saw how effective the kicks were with Forrest and how well Machida uses his range and angles against punchers like Evans which is exactly how I see this fight going. Rampage might not get KO'd but I think there's a very good chance he'll get finished
http://lowkickmma.com/author/Kon Kon
Rampage really needs to change camps he has to reinvent himself as a fighter if he wants to become champion again he needs to stop just hunting the lucky punch and start using his wrestling more some fans may not want to see that but if he gets a W then at least hes still in title contention
http://lowkickmma.com/author/D D
He already changed camps. He's back in California – not training with Bitchping anymore.
http://lowkickmma.com/author/D D
I agree, but it depends which Rampage shows up.
If he fights like the Rampage that won 11 fights in Pride, he could overpower Machida and get the KO. If he fights like he did against Rashad, he will most definitely lose a decision.
http://lowkickmma.com/author/japanegro23 japanegro23
Lucky punch?

by Lucky punch i meant Knockout punch

Half-Life: Dreamcast is a PC port of the unreleased Sega Dreamcast console version of Half-Life.
Jun 27th, 2012 0 people agree 1 person doesn't
Well this is a good PC port, but if you're expecting a significant difference between this and the retail/steam half-life, you might be dissapointed.
In my opinion, the original models and textures are fine, and these new ones aren't really better.
However if you are just curious as to how the dreamcast version looks like, this is as good as half-life and is relatively bug-free.

In the course of history, Islam as a religion and as a religious community has come into contact with a number of other religions in the East and West. A great number of Muslim authors have written about other religions and their adherents. Judaism and Christianity have been a major focus of these scholars. In the modern period, the Muslim works on these two religions either stress the heavenly message brought by Moses and Jesus or the distortions introduced into it by the adherents. Of the Muslim writers who focused on the second approach is Maulana M. Rahmatullah Kairanvi. He wrote a number of treatises to prove that the text of the Bible is not a revelation. One of these is the book الحق اظهار (Demonstration of the Truth). The book was written in response to the Christian offensive against Islam in British India. The author has used his authoritative knowledge of the Jewish and Christian scriptures to demonstrate that the Bible cannot in any way be considered as a divine, revealed book. He has refuted Trinity with reason, and in the last part of the book demonstrated the authenticity of the Quran and the Prophet Hood of Muhammad PBUH.
The book has been internationally recognized as one of the most authoritative and objective studies of the Bible and has become a model for subsequent Muslim refutations of Christianity and especially its Scriptures. This assignment aims at a thorough and scientific study of Izhar ul Haq and extraction of the methodologies used by the author in his study of Christianity, its faith and scriptures. As per requirement of my instructor, respected Madam Darakhshan Azam, I have chosen first two chapters1 from the first part of the book and conducted a study on them. The assignment begins with a summary of the first and second chapters of the book, titled: بيان كتب العهد العتيق و الجديد

Hail-to-the-Chief Show
Goldstein, Richard, The Nation
This Administration may not know how to rule the world, but it sure can run a ritual. No President in recent history has been so adept at using pageantry to invest a radical new agenda with the authority of the past. Yet there is always a moment in these ceremonies when the symbolic web of tradition tears, revealing the snarling reality of the present.
In the Bush inaugural, that moment came when the presidential motorcade headed down Pennsylvania Avenue enclosed in a phalanx of police vehicles. "It looked like a military occupation proceeding through a hostile city," snapped ABC's George Will. Only after the event did we learn just how martial it was. Along with 13,000 officers, secret commando units were at large in Washington, and sharpshooters with state-of-the-art assault weapons were stationed on rooftops along the parade route. The President was riding in an armored limo with bulletproof tires and, reportedly, an oxygen system that could be activated during a chemical attack. None of this showed on TV. In the new surveillance society, nothing is more important than maintaining the illusion of normalcy.
TV commentators play an important part in this arrangement. They must reconcile the signs of ominous activity with the smooth surface. On Inauguration Day, that meant duly noting the barriers, checkpoints and protest cages while regarding them as a rational response to terrorism--a tad paranoid, at worst. If anything, the locked and loaded ambience gave weight to Bush's speech, with its exhortation to endless war in the name of freedom and security. No pundit pointed out that this exercise in control was also a pretext for staging the most tightly managed inauguration in American history. Hundreds of thousands of spectators thought they were participating in a public event, when in fact they were extras on a giant set. Not even Goebbels could have imagined such a theater of actuality, but then, he didn't live in the era of reality TV.
When W. finally left his tank to walk a block or so, he strolled past a select crowd of admirers who had paid up to $300 for their VIP bleacher seats. The few demonstrators who managed to lob hostile comments within official range were hauled away, off camera. These protesters "rattling their cages," as Peter Jennings put it, were "in the great American tradition." Instead of focusing on their confinement, television presented their dissent as a tribute to democracy. Instead of addressing the racist taint of having Trent Lott host this event, the media focused on the many mentions of the civil rights struggle in the President's remarks. …

RICHLAND, Wash. New super-efficient rooftop units that heat and cool commercial buildings offer significant energy and dollar savings, say scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. They found that the devices reduce energy costs an average of about 41 percent compared to units in operation today.
The newly published report analyzes the operation of the commercial rooftop HVAC unit known as the Daikin Rebel, which was one of two units to meet DOE's Rooftop Challenge, a competition for manufacturers to create a rooftop unit that significantly exceeds existing DOE manufacturing standards. Daikin Applied was the first to produce such a unit, which was studied in depth by PNNL researchers; Carrier Corp. also met the challenge. The work is part of a broader DOE program known as the DOE Rooftop Campaign, which promotes the adoption of efficient rooftop units.
The PNNL study, done by scientists Srinivas Katipamula and Weimin Wang, is an in-depth look at the performance of the Rebel compared to other rooftop units in use today. The devices are usually nestled on building roofs, far from view but crucial to our comfort. The devices demand a significant proportion of the 18 quadrillion BTUs of energy that the nation's commercial buildings swallow every year.
The PNNL team estimates that if current rooftop units were replaced with devices similar to the Rebel over a 10-year period, the benefits in terms of energy saved and reduced pollution would be about equal to taking 700,000 cars off the road each year. Put another way, the reduced energy draw could idle about eight average-size coal-fired power plants in each of those 10 years.
If all rooftop units with a cooling capacity of 10 to 20 tons were replaced immediately, DOE officials estimate the cost savings at around $1 billion annually.
"There are great gains waiting to be made in energy savings, using technologies that exist today," sai

In 2010, California saw the worst outbreak of whooping cough in 50 years, leading to more than 27,000 people sickened and the deaths of 10 infants. The outbreak led to urgent calls for parents to keep their children's pertussis vaccines up to date.
Meningococcal disease is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis, an infection around the brain and the spinal cord that kills about one in 10 people who contract it, according to the CDC. "Meningitis is a very serious disease. A person can seem fine, and within hours all of a sudden they can be very ill and potentially die," Stokley said.
Human papillomavirus is a common virus among people in their teens and early 20s and is spread during sex, potentially causing genital warts in men and women. Certain strains cause cervical cancer in women and also anal cancer, Stokley said.

This press release is available in German.
Stefan Remy and colleagues at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and the University of Bonn have illuminated how this system works. "The system acts like a filter, only letting the most important impulses pass," explains Remy. "This produces the targeted neuronal patterns that are indispensible for long-term memory storage."
How does this refined control system work? How can inhibitory signals produce precise output signals? This was the question investigated by Remy and his colleagues. Scientists have known for some time that this inhibitory system is crucial for the learning process. For instance, newest research has shown that this system breaks down in Alzheimer's patients. Remy and his team investigated the nerve cells of the hippocampus, a region of the brain that plays a crucial role in memory formation.
The information we learn or remember is processed in the brain through nerve impulses. Incoming signals enter the cell as excitatory signals. Here, they are processed via branched structures, known as dendrites, and are sent selectively to neighboring neurons. The dendrites in this brain region serve as efficient amplifiers for synchronous signals.
"We were able to show that in specific dendrites, the 'strong' dendrites, clustered signals are amplified very well. 'Weak' dendrites only transmit signals in certain phases," says Christina Mller, postdoctoral student in Remy's working group and the lead author of the study to appear in Neuron. Dendrites are excitable to differing degrees. 'Strong' dendrites transmit synchronous excitatory signals precisely and very reliably. They can resist any inhibition. Thus ensures specific signals, perhaps most relevant for learning and memory, are reliably transmitted. This results in defined patterns of activity that are
