US/IRELAND: Banana suppliers Chiquita, Fyffes to merge
The new ChiquitaFyffes will be largest supplier of bananas worldwide
Chiquita Brands International and Fyffes are to merge, the banana suppliers have announced this morning (10 March).
The stock-for-stock transaction will see investors in US-based Chiquita own around 50.7% of what will be called ChiquitaFyffes. Shareholders in Ireland's Fyffes will own the other 49.3%.
The two companies said the deal would create a company generating around US$4.6bn in annual revenue.
Chiquita CEO Ed Lonergan, who will be the chairman of the new business, said the "milestone transaction" would "create significant value" for the company's shareholders.
Lonergan said: "This is a natural strategic partnership that combines two complementary companies of long history and great reputations that have built upon an unwavering commitment to exceed our customers' expectations. We will maintain our brands, all of which are valued by both customers and consumers. The combined company will also be able to provide customers with a more diverse product mix and choice."
Fyffes executive chairman David McCann will take the role of CEO at ChiquitaFyffes. He called the deal "transformative" and added: "We believe we will be able to use our joint expertise, complementary assets and geographic coverage to develop a business that can run smoothly and efficiently to better partner with our customers and suppliers."
ChiquitaFyffes, which will be listed in New York but based in Ireland, will be the "number one banana company globally" with a "signficant presence" in packaged salads, melons and pineapples. It will supply around 160m boxes of bananas a year.
The companies believe their geographical footprint and expanded distribution will help them "capitalise on the growing fresh food business and health and wellness trends".
Under the terms of the deal, Fyffes shareholders will receive 0.1567 ChiquitaFyffes shares for each share they hold in the Ireland-based firm. Chiquita investors will receive one ChiquitaFyffes share for each share they own in the US group.
The transaction values Fyffes at approximately US$526m and each Fyffes share at EUR1.22, which represents a premium of approximately 36% compared to the company's volume-weighted average trading price for the 30 trading days up until 7 March and a 38% premium to the Fyffes closing share price that day.
On that basis, the transaction will result in a combined equity value of approximately $1.07bn.

The presence of static convertors involves a power system in frequent waveform-dependent topological changes. A general model is described in this paper to analyse the dynamic interaction between convertors and power systems. An efficient state-space formulation is used, with isolation of the nodal equations affected by the variable topology. The degree of system representation accepted by the model is optional, but detailed representation is recommended for the convertor and a.c. related plant components, such as convertor transformers, filters and synchronous machines. The versatility of the model is illustrated by typical cases of normal and disturbed power-system operation.

We stayed a few days in this hotel including the new year party. The hotel has "older rooms, which are centred around the pool" and a newer, refurbished tower which provides for "Nile view". The later are much nicer. My rating is based on these rooms. This probably also explains the difference in rating of some of the reviewers. The breakfast is pretty good. For dinner there are several better ( higher rated) options in town, like "Puddleduck". The taxi ride to town should cost 25 EP.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Right in the centre of town, overlooking the Nile river, the Mercure Luxor is tucked away amidst shady gardens alongside a crescent moon shaped pool. Our spacious and naturally bright rooms, some of which have facilities for guests with limited mobility, all lookout over the Nile or the gardens.

Dan Sullivan didn't quite make it past the critical 45% threshold in yesterday's Anchorage mayoral election. That means the Sarah Palin-backed Republican will have to compete in a May 5 runoff election.
Sullivan scored 43% of the vote. Though absentees still need to be counted, he appears very unlikely to reach 45%. Eric Croft, a former state representative and a Democrat, came in a distant second with around 20% of the vote.
Despite the big gap between the top two contenders, the runoff should be considered something close to a toss-up. The three leading Democrats in the field (Croft, Sheila Selkregg and Matt Claman) combined for 41% of the vote, scoring only 660 fewer votes than Sullivan.
The race may hinge on who the supporters of Walt Monegan (8.8% of the vote) and Paul Honeman (4.7% of the vote) end up backing. Reportedly, Monegan won't endorse in the runoff, while Honeman is considering entreaties from both candidates.
By the way, in the two Wisconsin races I mentioned yesterday, both the establishment candidates with Democratic support triumphed over their more conservative challengers.

I have a for loop, which I don't want to parallelise, which calls a function which I want to parallelise (which has a for loop in it that I want to parallelise). I want to put the parallel region outside of the whole lot, so that my threads only get created once (to reduce the overhead of thread creation).
However, at the moment I have a
omp single covering the for loop, which calls the function and an
omp for inside the function to deal with the internal for loop. It hands, and according to OMP single hangs inside for this is because doing that is illegal!
If I can't do it that way, how can I approach it? I want to make sure that only one thread runs the outer for loop and calls the function, but that inside the function I can get full parallelism.
Is this possible? Any ideas?

Muskegon Heights Makes Department Of Education-Defined Adequate Yearly Progress
Andrew Trzaska | June 30, 2011
A special Muskegon Heights school board meeting held Thursday led to the passage of the district's 2011-2012 budget, but also included the announcement of the district's Education Report Card from the Department of Education.
In the previous year, Muskegon Heights elementary and middle school students achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
This means the district is meeting the U.S. Department of Education's guidelines for growing quality of education in grades 3-8, as defined by the No Child Left Behind Act.
Public school districts are required to test their students yearly in math and reading from 3rd grade through 12th grade, and the results are assigned both a pass/fail-type AYP rating, as well as a letter grade on the tests.
Combined, all elementary schools achieved AYP in both math and reading, with Edgewood elementary earning an overall B and Loftis and Martin Luther King schools earning each earning an overall C grade.
This improves on last year, when all three schools earned overall C grades.
Muskegon Heights Middle School achieved AYP in both subjects as well, achieving a C grade.
Muskegon Heights High School, which includes Adult Education, did not meet AYP in either subject.
The high school did receive what is referred to as "Safe Harbor" in reading, meaning that even though AYP was not met this year, the district did show improvement in the subject.
Discussion at Thursday's meeting was upbeat, as these improvements were regarded as a sign of progress, as the district overall has not made AYP in many years.
Board vice president Ronald Jenkins stated that the district's leadership was influential in the improvements:
"It goes to show what the administration has done for this district."

Product Description
From Amazon
Officer, diplomat, spy, journalist, and intermittent genius, Marie Henri Beyle employed more than 200 aliases in the course of his crowded career. His most famous moniker, however, was Stendhal, which he affixed to his greatest work, The Charterhouse of Parma. The author spent a mere seven weeks cranking out this marvel in 1838, setting the fictional equivalent of a land-speed record. To be honest, there are occasional signs of haste, during which he clearly bypassed le mot juste in favor of narrative zing. So what? Stendhal at his sloppiest is still wittier, and wiser about human behavior, than just about any writer you could name. No wonder so meticulous a stylist as Paul Valéry was happy to forgive his sins against French grammar: "We should never be finished with Stendhal. I can think of no greater praise than that."
The plot of The Charterhouse of Parma suggests a run-of-the-mill potboiler, complete with court intrigue, military derring-do, and more romance than you can shake a saber at. But Stendhal had an amazing, pre-Freudian grasp of psychology (at least the Gallic variant). More than most of his contemporaries, he understood the incessant jostling of love, sex, fear, and ambition, not to mention our endless capacity for self-deception. No wonder his hero, Fabrizio de Dongo, seems to know everything and nothing about himself. Even under fire at the Battle of Waterloo, the young Fabrizio has a tendency to lose himself in Napoleonic reverie:
Suddenly everyone galloped off. A few moments later Fabrizio saw, twenty paces ahead, a ploughed field that seemed to be strangely in motion; the furrows were filled with water, and the wet ground that formed their crests was exploding into tiny black fragments flung three or four feet into the air. Fabrizio noticed this odd effect as he passed; then his mind returned to daydreams of the Marshal's glory. He heard a sharp cry beside him: two hussars had fallen, riddled by bullets; and when he turned to look at them, they were already twenty paces behind the escort.The quote above, a famous one, captures something of Stendhal's headlong style. Until now, most English-speaking readers have experienced it via C.K. Scott-Moncrieff's superb 1925 translation. But now Richard Howard has modernized his predecessor's period touches, streamlined some of the fussier locutions, and generally given Stendhal his high-velocity due. The result is a timely version of a timeless masterpiece, which shouldn't need to be updated again until, oh, 2050. Crammed with life, lust, and verbal fireworks, The Charterhouse of Parma demonstrates the real truth of its creator's self-composed epitaph: "He lived. He wrote. He loved." --James Marcus --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
"The Charterhouse of Parma has never sparkled in English with such radiance as it does in Richard Howard's new translation."
--Edmund White
"[A] superb new translation."
--Bernard Knox, The New York Review of Books
"An epic tale of war, love, sex, politics, and religion...an action-packed narrative."
--The New Yorker --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

The Modern Library has apparently decided that, with so many good Stendhal translations out there (Slater; Mauldin's Charterhouse; the NEW Penguin R & B; Lowell Bair's Charterhouse), it has a duty to provide bad ones. Richard Howard's translation has errors that even my schoolboy French can pick up. The New Criterion (which may have its own bones to pick w/ Mr. Howard, true) listed a great many flaws in his command of the French. And he's tone deaf to Stendhal in many of my favorite passages (not as bad as the old Shaw Penguins, but bad enough). If you read Howard's Stendhal & think you don't like him, try a better translation.

I think what the reader needs - what I needed - was a feel for the context. Stendhal stands at the crossroads of so much that is interesting in the modern world. He's a Frenchman who is in love with Italy. He's the small town boy who yearns for Paris - but then is shocked to find it has no mountains. He's the soldier who rode with Napoleon - but the wrong way, having accompanied the great man on the retreat from Moscow. Most of all, he is the ultimate romantic and the ultimate anti-romantic-the great enthusiast with a deadly eye for the absurdity of his own enthusiasm. I think I needed to have some sense of all these dimensions before I could catch the ironies and cross-currents that give the book so much of its drive. But lately, I don't know how many times I've found myself reading some later novel or some bit of more recent history and hearing Stendhal's worldly chuckle at my shoulder. It's the mellow wisdom of a life not always well lived, but for that reason perhaps more tangy and flavorful than a duller counterpart.
One of the many charms of the experience to me is to reflect that Stendhal himself was - okay, say it, a loser. He reminds me a bit of the Fusco Brothers in the Sunday funnies: not fat, exactly, maybe a size 40 in a pair of size 38 pants, the guy who never quite gets the girl (don't believe all his stories).Read more ›

Surprisingly engaging 'antique' novel with wonderful descriptions of the Italian countryside.Published 17 months ago by anticipation
I understand that Stendahl is the French equal of Alessandro Manzoni or Leo Tolstoy. Based on that alone, Hell yes you should read this book!Published on Feb. 17 2004 by some guy

Once again the EP is taking longer to record as previously anticipated. On the plus side of things, all instrumentals are finished, vocal tracks will be done as soon as possible and hope to have it for sale (online) at the end of the year. In other news earlier this month we opened for Scar City at the Q Club in Cambridge with what was hopefully our last acoustic show. Next time we play we are sure to have drums to go along with the rest of the band and if you have been following our progress over the last three years we are thankful for your contining support and patience.
Due to money, time and management difficulties the EP is taking longer than expected to make. The drum tracks are being tweaked as we speak and there is a good chance we will get guitars down before the end of the month. We apologize for the lack of activity and hope we can have a release for you soon. - Lizzi

It's that time again, where we feel motivated to create positive change. We make a list of New Years Resolutions, and set short term and long term goals for the weeks and months ahead. Or that's what people used to do.
I was "out" celebrating New Years Eve at Club Universe in the Second Life virtual world earlier (I know. Don't judge me!), and the host asked about everyone's New Years Resolutions. Everyone said they didn't have any. Then there was me… "My New Years resolution is to smoke more weed, and suck more dick so I can finally get rid of my gag reflex." – That's something mighty positive to strive for, don't you think? No? Don't be so uptight!
In all seriousness though; I don't really have any New Years Resolutions either. Time is an illusion, anyway. Sure, I have goals and dreams, and I'm always looking for ways to improve myself through forming healthy, positive habits, but just because the calendar shows "Jan 1, 2016," doesn't mean I'm going to go all nutty; pretending that this is some "new time" for doing something amazing. And I know that I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Are we finally over the new year, new me, bullshit? Can we finally accept that each day is a new day with the same hope and potential as a new year, or a new life? Why do we need a calendar to tell us that today is the day to make positive change? Why don't we do it every day? I REFUSE to buy into the New Years Resolution quick-fix hype!
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I have New Years Resolutions. And I bet that every singe person who say they don't, secretly do. It seems as though, saying that we don't have New Years Resolutions, is becoming a trend. Well, guess what? I do have some New Years Resolutions, but this time, I'm not going to tell you what they are. I'm done writing about what I want to do, or what I plan to do. This year, I will let my actions, and the results of those actions, speak for themselves. But this in itself, is a resolution, and I'm sharing it with you. Oh, the irony, oh, the contradictions. Ha! See…? This is why I haven't been blogging much lately.
Thanks for reading, and Happy New Year! Now drop your New Years Resolutions into the comments section below, so that we can see what it is that you will stop doing, two or three months from now, after the hype has worn off, and because you don't pledge to create positive change on a daily basis. Go on… No? Well, here's one for you: Repeat after me; "My New Years Resolution is to visit DAVIDVENTER.NET on a daily basis, and to download David Venter's Music on iTunes." There you go. You're welcome. Now, Do it!

I need to open an Xcode project in older Xcode version to build under the older SDK. What is deployment target option mean in "project settings". Does it mean that I can build my project on latest iOS 4.3 SDK for an iPhone OS 3 device? How about some functions in classes that dont support in older version of SDK?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Base SDK is the version of the iOS SDK API that your app is compiled with. This means that your app is being built with the libraries for that version of iOS. As Black Frog mentioned, you must use the latest SDK to get your app approved on the App Store.
Deployment Target is the minimum version of iOS on which your app will allow itself to run on. (The App Store prevents older vesions of iOS from installing apps with a Deployment Target that is newer than that version.)
If you wanted your app to use, say, Game Center (which requires iOS 4.1), and run on iOS 3.1.3 or higher, then you would use a Base SDK of 4.1 or higher and a Deployment Target of 3.1.3.
To deal with classes and methods that don't exist, you should check if they exist before using them. Here's a great blog post on managing different versions of iOS and different versions of the SDK.
All Xcode projects since 3.2 have had the same internal format. So, you should be able to open the Xcode project in the older Xcode. In Xcode 3, you can see the project format version in the "Get Info" of your project. (I haven't found this yet in Xcode 4.)
If there is a magical way to check iOS compatibility not by hand like this, I'm interested :)

Burchard of Würzburg
|Saint Burchard of Würzburg
Engraving by Johann Salver.
|c. 750
|Venerated in
|Roman Catholic Church Orthodox Church
Burchard of Würzburg was a Bishop of Würzburg in 741–754.
He was an Anglo-Saxon who left England after the death of his kinsfolk and joined Boniface in his missionary labors, some time after 732. When Boniface organized bishoprics in Middle Germany, he placed Burchard over that of Würzburg; his consecration can not have occurred later than the summer of 741, since in the autumn of that year, we find him officiating as a bishop at the consecration of Willibald of Eichstädt.
Pope Zachary confirmed the new bishopric in 743. Burchard appears again as a member of the first German council in 742, and as an envoy to Rome from Boniface in 748. With Fulrad of Saint-Denis, he brought to Zachary the famous question of Pepin, whose answer was supposed to justify the assumption of regal power by the Carolingians.
His feast day is 14 October.[1]

Verizon data breach report identifies effective ways for HR to fight cyberthreats
When it comes to data breaches, "nine basic patterns make up 92 percent of security incidents," according to the Verizon 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report, released April 23.
Those patterns, experts said, will help organizations fight cyberthreats.
"After analyzing 10 years of data, we realize most organizations cannot keep up with cybercrime—and the bad guys are winning," said Wade Baker, principal author of the report series. "But by applying big data analytics to security risk management, we can begin to bend the curve and combat cybercrime more effectively and strategically," he stated in a media release.
"Organizations need to realize no one is immune from a data breach. Compounding this issue is the fact that it is taking longer to identify compromises within an organization—often weeks or months—while penetrating an organization can take minutes or hours," he said.
Cyber criminals are especially keen on targeting HR data.
"An employee's employment history, any derogatory or personal information, financial information, or personally identifiable information all have value to someone," said Eric M. Fiterman, founder of Spotkick, a Washington, D.C.-area cybersecurity company, to HR Magazine in "Keep Cyber Spies Out" (July, 2013).
That's not all. A stolen medical identity has a street value of $50, while a stolen Social Security number sells for about a dollar, according to Kirk Herath, chief privacy officer at Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. Yet most people don't protect their medical information as diligently as they protect their Social Security number.
HR professionals must be vigilant about protecting employee data, experts said.
According to the Verizon report, the nine threat patterns are:
Verizon began publishing the data breach report in 2007. Researchers this year analyzed more than 1,300 confirmed data breaches and more than 63,000 reported security incidents. For the first time, the report "includes security incidents that don't result in breaches, in order to gain a better understanding of the cybersecurity landscape," according to the media release.
Throughout the 10-year range of the study, the number of data breaches has risen from 400 to more than 5,900. Fifty organizations from around the world, including Verizon, contributed data and analysis to this year's report.

Believe me when I tell you... my fiance and I have shopped around for a wedding band for my 2 carat solitaire. My fiance didnt want to add too much diamonds on the band because he didnt want to take away from the solitaire. We went to popular stores around our area such as XXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXX. We also went to smaller shops in the boston jewel exchange district. I knew what kind of style i liked with my ring. I saw something very similar to this ring at barmakians and almost bought it. I decided to research some more on line just to check and I'm so glad I did! I found this ring on overstock and ordered it because I knew I can always return it if it wasnt great quality. I was so pleased when I got the ring. It sparkes and just the perfect size! The quality of the ring is better than the one I saw at XXXXXXXXXXXX! We are thrilled!!!
We started our search for wedding bands in actual stores. First stop was Kay. I knew I wanted an eternity band or something similar, and I found it in the store. Then a friend told me she used overstock for her wedding bands, so I quickly jumped online, and found basically the SAME ring for almost half the price. I was definitely a little nervous to purchase without holding the product, but the return policy with overstock sounded fine. We placed the order; after receiving the ring, I knew we made the right choice. It is truly beautiful, love it! So pleased!!!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? the image on the site was pretty much spot on with what arrived
- How accurate was the sizing? ring sizing was perfect!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. the ring is gorgeous- it looks amazing on, cannot wait to never take it off
My fiance and I shopped around for wedding bands and determinedbthat 3/4 carat was the size we wanted. Prices in stores ranged from $900-$1800. After reading all of the other good reviews of this particular product, we decided to go for it. I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was when I got it. I cannot recommend this enough!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Image was very good. It did not misrepresent the product at all.
- How accurate was the sizing? Sizing was perfect.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent quality.
Nice and simple. Great quality. I've had mine for over two years and it does the job!
I received this band as a 10 year anniversary gift. The band is so beautiful and has such a nice sparkle. This is our 4th diamond purchase from Overstock and we have been extremely pleased each time.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? As pictured
- How accurate was the sizing? True to size
At first site I loved this ring! It was just what I was looking for. However, don't be fooled. I had it for several months before ever wearing it as it was purchased as my wedding band so I didn't wear it until the wedding. After only 2 weeks the end diamond fell out. After another 2 weeks, the other end diamond fell out and the one next to it as well. I thought I was covered since I had purchased the insurance/warranty protection. That was another joke! Apparently it doesn't cover stone loss. I'm not sure what else could go wrong on this ring so I don't know what I paid for. If loosing all those stones with just normal wear isn't caused by a defect in the setting, they you tell me what caused it. What is covered?? I am very disappointed and saddened that the ring that my Husband gave me when we committed ourselves to each other is now ruined through no fault of my own and now has to be replace. DON'T BUY THIS RING OR THE SO CALLED PROTECTION PLAN
The stones are white and sparkly, the ring is great. I ordered Tuesday it came Thurs? My only complaint is that now my engagement ring looks yellow because the eternity band is so pretty and white!!!
This ring is beautiful! I will be using it as my wedding band to compliment an antique engagement ring. I looked at several other rings at a smaller carat (1/2ct) and the price was over 4x what I paid for this ring. Not only does the ring look great, but it shipped ridiculously quick and the order I placed on Tuesday was received by Friday! I can't wait to wear this ring when we get married! This ring not only looks gorgeous paired with my engagement ring, but it is perfect by itself. The stones go just far enough that it looks like an eternity band but you don't have to waste your money on the lost stones on the bottom of the ring!
This ring is gorgeous!!!! It looks even better in person than in the pictures! The diamonds are fabulous! They sparkle and shine just like I hoped they would. This ring has a substantial presence as well; not small and cheesy looking at all. The stones in my ring are all of uniform size, good clarity and without any visible flaws. I was so nervous to buy diamonds online! This was my first Overstock purchase as well. But after doing some comparision shopping at the mall I realized I really couldn't beat Overstocks deal. This ring was hundreds less than similar rings at the mall and has better quality diamonds!!! So pleased! I cannot wait to start wearing it on my wedding day...even though I'm already secretly wearing it around the house!
i think overall this ring was a good deal. nice ring and fiance was happy with it. the only problem was the diamonds on one side of the ring were smaller than the other side. the uniformity was inconsistant.
Comparing this ring to wedding bands at other jewelers, the price was unbeatable. I wasn't able to find much more than 1/4 karat for the price I paid for this 3/4 karat. It's beautiful, nice & thin (doesn't have much gold on the sides so you just see diamonds). It's not super-blingy, but has a brilliant sparkle & compliments my engagement ring nicely. Overstock has kept me more than satisfied with all of my purchases, and I received this ring in about 4 days after purchasing. Quite impressed!
The ring is sparkly as stated in other reviews, however the diamonds are what you buy--they are a little cloudy and one of my diamonds, unfortunately one in the very middle, has a visible imperfection--a black fragment. For the money, though, you can't find a similar one in stores and it is a nice ring--it looks great beside my e-ring that has a diamond band, and the diamonds in e-ring are very clear and you can't tell much difference unless looking closely.
I had bought a smaller ring by Annello- my first on line purchase. It was dainty, but it sparkled!! And nothing fell out. So I agonized over this purchase. But I need not have. It is just as white and sparkly, and I'm pleased with it. I have had no problems with the ring. I feel it is a good value for the money.
Not as brilliant as I thought but ok for price
We wanted something a little bolder/thicker than the band I had with my engagement ring (2mm white gold band) and this went perfectly with what we wanted!! Keep in mind the clarity grade of these diamonds is on the lower end, so yes some may have a 'cloudy' look as other reviewers mentioned, but let me tell you, the ring sparkles!!!! The diamond in my engagement ring is a VVS1 with a halo around it too and this band goes perfectly with it while giving us the bolder line we wanted for my wedding band. Being someone who worksout often it is comfortable to wear once I got used to it! I could easily wear this ring by itself, but my husband loves seeing both rings on and really so do I (heck we're newly weds, who wouldn't love wearing their rings!)! This was a great deal for us and we're very happy with our purchase!
I1-I2 was too cloudy. Will look for something in the SI/VS range. Other than that, perfect fit, nice design. Great value.
I love this ring -it was a replacement for identical one lost. The price is more now but that is expected. It is as pictured. If you have small fingers like me its perfect for every day. if not it may seem small on the finger. I wanted a bigger diamond but ordered the similar ring with prongs by mistake. the Pave stones are not rough and don't rub on the other fingers. Size is exact.- I'm a five and it fits like the previous size five. I did price at local stores -this is a good price. 3-4 hundred less
Received the ring promptly, it was very beautiful and just as advertised. I gave it to my wife on Friday night. Saturday morning we went to breakfast and during breakfast I noticed that one of the stones had fallen out. We promptly called Overstock and they supplied us with an RMA number. Return went smoothly. I would buy from Overstock again, just probably not jewelry. If it seems cheaper than it should be, it usually is...
I absolutely love my ring, kinda worried about what I would get since this is my first OS on line purchase, but I am very happy thus far, very sparkly, no cloudy diamonds at all. Perfect for what I wanted!! Sized perfect too!
This was one of 3 rings I ordered, knowing I would send 2 back .Initially it was my favorite from the pictures and I was pretty sure it would be the one I kept. In reality it was a big disappointment. The setting is very nice but unfortunately the stones are very poorly matched and do not look good even to the naked eye, under magnification and in sunlight it only gets worse. There were 3-4 really nice stones that were clear and nearly colorless, then 3 -4 stones that were dull and gray and the rest were average. The really nice and the poor stones stuck out badly. No way I would ever give this to the woman I love. Also it did not seem like it was 3/4 carat, the other 2 rings I ordered were 1/2 carat and both looked like they had more diamond weight. Sending it back.

"and holding Warren Buffett style".
That's the flaw in your thinking. His strategy applies to big blue chips, not a business this size and financial condition. IMO CLMT will be managed by a string of Wall Street predators who will make quick gains until the company is ready to be liquidated or sold out. The reason I say this is that they have become non competitive due to the horrible bets they have made, unless they are able to pitch the losing assets. I think we will have the answer in about a year . GLTA and we will need it..
add to Mawer James Carter, who bought another 26000 shares on May 17. Something is going on!!
Stephen Mawer bought 13000 shares on May 18. This adds up to 100k shares for all the insider purchases.
I can't believe that this is all window dressing for these guys.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You may be right on the Canadian oil. I tend to believe that their paying 11+% to get a loan is mighty steep, suggesting they are desperate. What makes them desperate about the business is a good question, and investors sense that.
What puzzles me about the pps is that on the "rumor" of bad news it crashes fast, and I mean fast. On the news of "good" news it goes up a penny a day, if not down a penny. The insider buying here should have ski rocketed this stock. Oh, well, You gotta have patience so they say! (lol)
Gaawwwwd, I love this stock!!
I just looked up the insider buys so far and these 3 guys bought a total of 68000 shares on the open Market @ about $4.00 last Monday. Not bad!. This is a very good sign and the light is at the end of the tunnel.
Good points. On that word I added some @3.90. Hope this one works after so many fumbles
Hope is eternal! I may follow your lead and hold my nose (lol)
EVP Anderson William purchased 10000 shares this past Mon at a price of ......$4.07. The CFO Murray purchased 5000 on the same day. Does anybody think they did this to lose money? hhmmm!
I'm not sure Barron does hold a short position. I think it's the boys that PAY Barrons who have that position IMO.
For those of you who are worried about day to day changes, look at it this way. Carl Icahn is in this up to his neck at a lot higher break even. You can bet your last dollar that he will see CHK back up to where he will be making money. That's why he sits on the Boards when he invests. So, stop worrying, sit back, sip your beer, and enjoy the ride. Just a thought.
Would you know how many shares the EVP bought? TIA
Any details there? Trying to see if there is optimism on their part, assuming decent prurchases.
CFO Murray bought 5000 shares @4.01 on 5/9. Any meaning?
I think you ;have your answer today. Somebody knew what you didn't a month ago, and that's the problem with stocks in general. JMHO
You mean he still owns this POS? How much is he losing so far? I bought it at 1.75 and will wait until he breaks even, whatever that is. What a joke!
You have a long wait on this one, at least a year. Looking to add at 4.75, but not in a hurry. My biggest concern is the resumption of the dividend after they straighten out the mess. I have seen it in other places where the dividend becomes history.

While perhaps a little late to the party, the Cubs made their midseason reshuffle of their personnel over the weekend. Myrtle Beach is back after scuffling for a while, thanks to the red-hot hitting of Jeimer Candelario. Another player who is swinging it well is Jacob Hannemann, who helped ignite the Tennessee offense. Pitching was also in the spotlight as South Bend's Michael Wagner, Iowa's Donn Roach, and Dylan Cease of the AZL Cubs all had outstanding efforts. So take a look at Down … [Read more...]
Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 06/29/15
Streaks were the big story to start the week as South Bend came off of All-Star break and extended their winning streak to five games thanks to Gleyber Torres. Winning four games in a row brought Eugene's record even as Eloy Jimenez and Ian Happ came up big. Both Tennessee and Iowa had modest two game streaks with strong performances from Albert Almora Jr. and Kyle Schwarber. On the downside, Myrtle Beach has yet to win a game in the second half of the season despite an excellent outing by … [Read more...]
Cubs Prospects Shine on All-Star Tuesday
With 15 players from three leagues selected to play as All-Stars, the Cubs' organization was well represented as three affiliated leagues held their All-Star games on Tuesday.

An infielder is knocking at the door for the majors, but it's not who you think it is. Christian Villanueva has had a monster week, with four home runs in four games for Iowa. In Tennessee, the Smokies have moved into first place thanks to efforts of pitchers Ryan Williams and Felix Pena.

Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 06/01/15
The Cubs' minor league system ended the month of May with a mixed bag as South Bend saw the blossoming of Yasiel Balaguert.

It was an abbreviated schedule to start the final week of May as two teams had Tuesday off while another was postponed.

Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 05/22/15
It was not a good end to the week for the Cubs' affiliates as the five teams in play could manage only two wins in nine games. Myrtle Beach had a memorable comeback thanks to the hitting of Chesny Young and the pitching of Jonathan Martinez. The only other win came in Venezuela, as the V-Cubs received a good debut from 17-year old Freddy Tineo. South Bend struggled with Lansing as Cael Brockmeyer provided the only highlight. Tennessee dropped two and had a scary incident with Bijan Rademacher … [Read more...]
Cubs Down on the Farm Report – 05/18/15
The Cubs got good performances this weekend from their front-runners as Double-A Tennessee is now a 20-game winner and Kyle Schwarber leads the Southern League in home runs.

Photo Op: Child Brides in Afghanistan
A photo essay featuring Afghan men and their young brides will appear in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine. Photographer Stephanie Sinclair, who captured the stunning images of the men with brides as young as 11 years old, talks with Alex Chadwick talks about the global issue of child brides.
Numbers are hard to verify, but one estimate by the Population Council, an international research group, is that about 1 in every 7 girls in the developing world (excluding China) gets married before her 15th birthday.
In Afghanistan, it is not uncommon for parents to give their daughters over to marriage to settle debts or resolve family or clan disputes. In hard times, it can save the girl from a life of poverty and hunger. But as Sinclair found in her travels through the countryside, the practice is also deeply entrenched in Afghan culture.
