An Ohio paint-can manufacturer that allegedly operates with unguarded machinery in order to speed up production is facing egregious federal safety violations and nearly $600,000 in fines.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Ball Aerosol and Specialty Container Inc. for 11 safety violations, the agency announced Monday (April 15). Seven violations were deemed willful, three repeat, and one serious, totaling $589,000 in proposed fines.
The company is disputing the case.
OSHA inspected the company's Hubbard, OH, metal container manufacturing facility on Oct. 17, 2012, after receiving a complaint that Ball Aerosol was exposing operators to unguarded hazardous machinery. OSHA cited the company in 2009 for machine guarding hazards on the same equipment.
"Ball Aerosol's management made a decision to continue to expose machine operators to serious amputation hazards," an OSHA spokesman said.
The company "knowingly permitted workers to operate the machines without proper guarding," the investigation found. The guarding was not installed or was removed because it slowed material positioning and production output, OSHA said.
"Ball Aerosol's management made a decision to continue to expose machine operators to serious amputation hazards," said Nick Walters, OSHA's regional administrator in Chicago. "Workers should not be asked to take such risks, and OSHA will not tolerate such disregard for worker safety."
Citations Disputed
Renee Robinson, Ball Corporation's manager of corporate communications, said in an email Tuesday (April 16):, "Ball Aerosol and Specialty Container Inc. disagrees strongly with the OSHA citation and characterizations in its press statement regarding conditions at our Hubbard, Ohio, paint and general line plant.
"We intend to resolve our disagreements through the regulatory process and accordingly cannot comment further, except to note we take this issue very seriously and have begun a review of OSHA's citation and the safety processes we have in place.
"We will take whatever measures that are appropriate at the end of this review to ensure that we are continuing to maintain a safe environment for our employees," Robinson wrote.
The paint-can maker says it takes the allegations "very seriously" and is reviewing its processes.
The company has 15 business days from receiving the citations to contest the them.
Amputation Hazards
Six willful citations—OSHA's highest level of infraction—allege inadequate machine guarding over the blades of slitter machines. OSHA classified the violations as willful because Ball Aerosol certified abatement for machine guarding on the equipment in 2009 and has a history of these violations.
Willful violations are committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirement, or plain indifference to employee safety and health.
The company "knowingly continued to violate agency requirements each time the machinery was placed in operation," OSHA stated.
The seventh willful citation alleges lack of machine guarding over nip points and rotating parts on feed tables. The same equipment was also cited in 2009.
"Lack of machine guarding exposes operators to amputation hazards of the hands and fingers," OSHA stated.
Machine guarding accidents injure more than 18,000 workers and kill more than 800 each year, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration says.
Workers who operate and maintain machinery suffer about 18,000 amputations, lacerations, crushing injuries, abrasions, and more than 800 deaths per year, according to OSHA, which provides an eTool for recognizing and controlling amputation hazards.
Severe Violator
OSHA has placed Ball Aerosol in its Severe Violator Enforcement Program, which focuses on "recalcitrant employers that endanger workers by committing willful, repeat or failure-to-abate violations."
The program mandates targeted follow-up inspections that can be performed at any of the employer's facilities if OSHA has "reasonable grounds" to believe there are similar violations.
Ball Aerosol must submit an abatement plan within 25 days and submit progress reports every 30 days thereafter, according to OSHA.
The proposed penalties for the willful citations total $490,000.
Repeat Violations, Fall Hazards
Three repeat safety violations were issued for failing to provide fire extinguisher training to employees; provide machine guarding to protect operators from rotating parts, nip and pinch points in machine areas; and to guard the blades at two mechanical guillotine shears.
Ball Corporation says it "disagrees strongly" with OSHA's citations.
Repeat violations are issued when an employer has been previously cited for the same or a similar violation within the last five years. Ball Aerosol was cited for these violations in 2009.
Proposed penalties for the repeat violations total $93,500.
One serious citation was issued for exposing workers to falls of approximately 10 feet while working on a platform with open sides. That penalty is $5,500.
Serious violations occur when there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard the employer knew or should have known about.
Previous Violations
The company's Elgin, IL, paid a $4,900 fine for a serious violation after an employee was killed in 2007 when he fell 30 feet through a skylight that did not have fall protection barrier guards around it or personal fall protection for employees working near the skylight.
The Elgin facility was also hit with a repeat violation in 2006 for general requirements for all machines, costing the company $8,000.
About the Company
Headquartered in Broomfield, CO, Ball Aerosol produces small metal containers for a variety of chemical, food, and beverage industries.
The company employees about 12,000 workers, operates 31 production plants in the U.S., and has facilities in Asia, Europe, South America and Canada.
The Hubbard facility employs 57 workers and specializes in producing three-piece welded paint and general lines cans.

The IKS K'elest (IKC-11673) was a Vor'cha-class Klingon battle cruiser starship in Imperial service in the 24th century.
The K'elest was reported as missing after disappearing from a last known location near the Talos star system. (Decipher RPG module: Starships)
- Although most other Vor'cha-class starships are referred to as attack cruisers in canon, the K'elest and other Vor'cha-class vessels listed by the Decipher RPG as battle cruisers. It is not clear if this is because they are outfitted differently or if the two cruiser terms had become somewhat synonymous.

Salvation has come and gone for most of Earth's population, barely holding on as the environment is eroded along with their aspirations of ever living in free societies again. Unless they're incredibly wealthy, of course. Carlos Moreno, however, is nothing of the sort, a wage slave owned by the English Ministry of Justice, just trying to get through the next murder case and hang on to the dream of one day being owned by no one but himself, and doing his best to avoid all mention of Atlas, the Pathfinder, and those who left to seek God.
When someone close to him is murdered, though, and Carlos is asked—told—to investigate the murder, he finds himself being drowned all over again in the details of his childhood and former life after Atlas left, confronted with a past he would just as well forget. After Atlas is an excellent example of an imaginative and accomplished writer's ability to take the same basic premise and create two entirely different stories out of it. It is also a stark view of the future we all face, without the prospect of a convenient ship to take anyone away to a better existence.
Newman's use of first-person present narration, juxtaposed with the conflicts between technology users and non-users in the development of the murder case lends the novel a private eye noir feel, even as Carlos watches people have dinner conversations with interlocutors who are only there via technology and does all his research via a networked personal assistant implant. It isn't a complicated plot, but it is a satisfyingly logical one, with twists and turns that increase the claustrophobic feeling of Carlos' story and the hopelessly devolving situation on an increasingly distracted and intellectually depressed Earth population.
Readers who enjoy near future science fiction narratives will get pulled into Newman's dystopic vision of Earth, whether or not they've read Planetfall first, however an understanding of the events of the first in this series will certainly help. Those who look for mystery elements blended into science fiction or fantasy stories will like the pace and logical twists of this character driven story. There are more layers to this novel than at first meet the eye, giving the reader plenty to chew on while contemplating the eventual demise of modern society.

How to Plant Strawberries with Tomato Plants
Your summer salads can be enhanced with fresh strawberries and tomatoes if you include them in your garden plot. The two fruits tastes great together. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when growing them side by side. Both plants are susceptible to verticullum wilt. Strawberry plants should never be grown in spots where tomato plants have grown in past years if they have suffered from this problem. They can be planted together in the current growing season as long as you keep a healthy garden.
Start your strawberry and tomato plants indoors about six weeks before the last frost in spring. Fill two starter trays with potting soil, and sow your seeds or bulbs at a depth of ¼ to ½ inch. Sow tomato seeds in one tray and strawberry plants in the other. Label your trays so you know which contains each plant. Keep the soil moist each day, and provide a grow light to seedling for about 16 to 18 hours a day.
Choose a location outdoors that gets about 10 hours of direct sunlight each day to plant your strawberries and tomatoes in the spring, after all chance of frost has passed. Till the soil with a shovel to a depth of 8 inches, and add 2 to 3 inches of equal parts peat moss and compost to the soil. Begin on a cloudy and cool day so that you don't stress out your strawberry plants.
Add a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer to the area where you want to plant your tomatoes and a 16-16-16 fertilizer to the area where your strawberries will be.
Rake soil in the area where your strawberries will be to form 1-foot-high hills that are spaced 12 inches apart for each plant.
Transplant your tomato plants by digging a trench deep enough to cover the root and stems to just below the first set of leaves. Place each plant at an angle in the trench, and cover the roots and stem with soil. Press the soil firmly around the stem to just beneath the first set of leaves. Space each planting 1 to 2 ½ feet apart.
Dig a hole into each mound to transplant your strawberry plants. Create a hole large enough for the roots. Release the root ball of your strawberry plant from the starter tray. Fan the roots out in the hole, and bury them up to the crown. Make sure the crown is even with the soil surface to prevent damage to your plant. Transplant one strawberry plant in each mound.
Place about an inch of straw mulch around your strawberry and tomato plants to prevent weeds and retain water. Moisten the soil immediately with water. Water your tomatoes two or three times a week, and give your strawberries an inch of water only once a week.
Pinch flowers off your strawberry plants the first season so that they grow a strong root system for the following season's harvest.
Add a side-dressing of 10-10-10 fertilizer at a rate of a pound per 100 feet to your tomato plants when fruit appears. Repeat the application after three weeks and then again after six weeks. Harvest fruits every two days when they gain full color and are firm.
Place a 6-inch layer of straw over strawberry plants in the fall to protect them from winter weather. Harvest all green tomatoes to ripen indoors before the first frost.

REMEMBER WHEN A DEBT DEAL WAS ALMOST REACHED, BUT PRESIDENT OBAMA DECIDED AT THE LAST MINUTE TO INSIST ON $400 BILLION MORE IN TAX HIKES? Boehner walked out and there was yet another delay. Then Boehner, Reid and McConnell began to work alone and came up with a plan, which is the plan that took effect.
The President became irrelevant in the process, but now he is rewriting history and blaming Congress for the problems. What an easy target they are with their 10% approval rating and the cooperation of the "love-Obama-very-much" media.
In another sound bite to a crowd of Michigan auto workers, President Obama portrayed himself as separate and apart from the deeply divided Congress (he failed to mention he is separate because he kept mucking up the process). He railed against Congress (hinting it was the Republican Congress) for "bickering" that gets in the way of recovery, and pledged to come up with fresh ideas to create jobs.
If he has these ideas, I wish the hay he'd tell us about them. So far, his ideas haven't been anything but smoke and mirrors. Most people now realize the Stimulus added almost a trillion dollars to the deficit and created temporary or part time jobs, mostly union jobs, it made welfare even more enabling, it sneaked in Obamacare panels that scare the bejeebers out of me, and so on. The Quantitative Easing has devalued the dollar, caused inflation and incurred some ire among our debt holders. His spending isn't working.
After speaking to the auto workers in Michigan, Obama went to a fundraiser and complimented himself over his leadership . He did not present any specifics. Maybe his ideas are to keep running fundraisers – that certainly puts him and his cronies back to work.
Reuters: President Barack Obama distanced himself from a deeply divided U.S. Congress on Thursday August 11,2011), pledging to deliver fresh ideas to create jobs and slamming lawmakers for "bickering" that gets in the way of recovery…
"I'm going to be putting out more proposals, week by week, that will help businesses hire and put people back to work," he told the Michigan auto workers event.
But Obama did not immediately spell out any new initiatives beyond renewing his call for Congress to extend a payroll tax cut, advance trade pacts with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, and deliver patent reform.
Obama blamed the market gyrations on forces beyond his control, noting European financial turmoil was "lapping up" on U.S. shores and saying the S&P downgrade "could have been entirely avoided" if Congress had been willing to compromise.
Later, at a celebrity-studded campaign fundraiser at a New York City residence, Obama described political gridlock as a primary threat to the U.S. economy, and one he hoped would be overcome in the 2012 election.
"There is not a single problem we are facing that we cannot solve," he told the dinner party of about 50 guests, who included the actress Gwyneth Paltrow, the clothing designer Vera Wang and the comedian Jimmy Fallon.
Editor's Note: Well, then solve them already.

Social networking sites, online dating companies and other internet based social groups have made it easier to connect with almost everyone. However, sometimes you might be wondering if that handsome online stranger is flirting with you or maybe he is simply interested in just adding to his ever-growing list of e-friends. Sometimes, it can be difficult to read his signals, but there are some things that can help you know if a guy online is flirting with you.
Step 1
Check and see if he has sent you any online winks, pokes, or nudges recently. Many dating sites have ways to electronically flirt with a man, while leaving a note for him letting him know that you also would like to get to know him. If you keep getting winks from a guy online, chances are he would actually enjoy getting to know you over a cup of coffee.
Step 2
Look for repeated friend requests from a guy. This could be a sign he's flirting with you and really wants to get to know you better. Perhaps you can write him a cute response and let him know that you are interested, but be polite if you're not interested in him too! Remember, online etiquette rules are just as important and necessary as offline etiquette rules.
Step 3
Watch his actions. If he goes through the trouble of finding your mutual friends, then you may consider that he is interested in you. Many websites allow you to find out if you have commonly shared friends. This makes it easier to strike up online conversations if you discover that you both had the same circle of friends in junior high school. If you suddenly get messages from a friend about a guy who is asking about you, it shows that he's really interested and wants to find out more about you!
Step 4
Look for signs that he wants to take you out. If you get invitations from him to different events around the area, chances are he's more interested in you than in the events. Of course, always exercise caution and be sure to let a trusted friend, family member or neighbor know your plans. Be safe and enjoy the fun.

Florida Highway Patrol trooper Daniel Cruz was severely injured on December 10 in a crash that reportedly involved a drunk driver. The driver was identified as John Bencosme of northwest Miami-Dade.
Bencosme, 26, faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence and DUI causing serious bodily injury. He was released on bond on Sunday. The press did not name an attorney for him.
According to the police report, the crash took place at 1 a.m. on Okeechobee Road near the Palmetto Expressway. Cruz, 29, was working on the scene of two-vehicle crash that took place earlier in the night when he was hit, FHP trooper Joe Sanchez told the press.
Someone driving a Hyundai Velastar crashed into one of the vehicles from the earlier accident. The impact pushed that vehicle into Cruz, who was thrown several feet into the air, the report said.
The driver of the Hyundai was identified as Bencosme. FHP troopers who arrived at the scene reported smelling alcohol on his breath, so they conducted a series of field sobriety tests. Bencosme's blood alcohol level was reportedly .201 and then .190 three minutes later. Both readings are more than twice the legal limit (.08) in the state of Florida.
"It's the greatest fear that we face," Sanchez told news sources. "Our roads have gotten to the point where troopers are more scared to be hit by a car than to be shot out there while they are performing their duties."
Cruz seriously injured his legs and back. He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he reportedly remains in stable condition.
"He is alert. He is going to be out for about six months," Sanchez said. "He did sustain some, you know, injuries that are critical . . . but thank God he is alive."
Cruz has been a trooper for three years. His family members told the press that he broke a bone in his back and has ligament injuries that will require surgery. They said he faces a long recovery but he was alert and speaking.
Bencosme told WPLG-Ch. 10 that he feels bad about what happened and that he tried to offer assistance at the scene.
"I saw the officer on the floor, I ran to him as fast as I could," Bencosme said.
Driving under the influence is a serious crime in Florida. State legislators have instated harsh penalties for DUIs because of all the deaths, particularly of youth, that have been caused by drunken driving. Law enforcement agents are expected to have a zero tolerance standard for drunk drivers, and as a result, the state handles a large number of DUI cases every year.
The fines and penalties for DUI charges become harsher with each DUI charge a driver receives. First-time offenders may receive a fine, driver's license suspension for 90 days, and up to a year in jail. A second conviction within five years of the first one may result in a mandatory fine, driver's license revoked for a year, mandatory community service, and mandatory jail of up to one year.
A third conviction results in a mandatory fine, mandatory jail time, and driver's license revoked for three years. A fourth or subsequent conviction is a class C felony punishable by a mandatory sentence of at least one year (and up to ten years) in prison, mandatory fines, and driver's license suspension for five years.

- "I just want to buy some time to evacuate my crew and scuttle the ship. That's all I ask."
- ―Hannser on the Far Thunder in 28 ABY
Hannser was a male officer who served within the New Republic Defense Fleet.
During the Black Fleet Crisis of 16 ABY, he was part of Colonel Ejagga Pakkpekatt's task force that was sent to locate and gather information regarding the Teljkon Vagabond. During this mission, he commanded the gunship Marauder.
During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Captain Hannser served as the commanding officer of the Republic-class cruiser Far Thunder. Under the leadership of General Keyan Farlander, he and the warship under his command participated in the Battle of Obroa-skai, during which his vessel sustained heavy damage. Lobbying hard for an attempt to salvage the Far Thunder, he succeeded in his efforts, only to see the ship attacked by a party of Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers.
While Twin Suns Squadron under the command of Jedi Jaina Solo was able to force the coralskippers into retreat, the Far Thunder was scuttled by the Lancer-class frigate Whip Hand. Evacuated to the frigate, Hannser was deeply wounded by the loss of his ship.
Personality and traitsEdit
Hannser was a competent captain and loyal to the New Republic and his crew, regardless of the vessel he was commanding. Although he valued his vessel highly, as in the case of the Far Thunder, he was sensible enough to realize when to abandon a foolish course of action.
Behind the scenesEdit
Hannser first appears in the Black Fleet Crisis novel Before the Storm, written by Michael P. Kube-McDowell and published in 1996. He later makes an appearance in the 2003 New Jedi Order novel The New Jedi Order: Destiny's Way by Walter Jon Williams.
Although Hannser made no more canon appearances outside of these novels, his character was later given entries in the Star Wars Encyclopedia and the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.

Sarah Palin's record of trying to overturn subsistence hunting and fishing laws is attracting some attention. Her views are a beautiful example of the middle class construction of wilderness, that wilderness is simply for recreation, something to be enjoyed in short bursts, or exploited to exhaustion. There appears to be no place for subsistence hunting in such an outlook.
Anyone have any other leads on this topic?

Yup!!! I did it all 21KMS/31.1mi
I should probably start with the obligatory apology: Sorry I have been away for eons but school has been a B. The good news is that I have still been running and have even been averaging 100 mi a month.
I was running the Nairobi Stanchart marathon on Sunday and thought I should share it with you amazing guys.
The week before the marathon I was a mess. I was suffering from a case of the nerveees and major self-doubt.
But the morning of I was feeling a little better about myself. I got to the start at around 6:50 and was there in time for the start of the 42KM tricycle race and 21KM wheelchair race. I mean RESPECT to those guys. Can you imagine peddling one of these for 42Km or propelling a wheelchair for 21KMS? This is the stuff that really shows us what the human spirit can do.
I was super excited about the start of the 42KM. I mean this is Nairobi Kenya so what are the odds that there are a few famous runners around. I did not manage to snap any but these guys are a work of art. Their bodies are something else. No ounce of fat and nothing but muscles on their legs and their strides are long and rhythmic. I could watch these guys forever.
I mean Wilson Kipsand just broke a new record last month running at 2:03:23 and if that number isn't impressive enough for you just go out to your local track and try run a lap in 70 seconds. Then do it again 105 times. Yes!!!!!! That's how fucking nuts it is.
Anyways I was a screaming nuut case when the elite runners set off and I knew in about 30 minutes it would be time for the 21KM guys to set off. I was pumped and full of energy.
There is something about the adrenaline rush you get when you are about to do something that majority of the people think is nuts. I was really on a natural high and my fist mile was a complete breeze and so was the next 5 miles.
When I hit the 6-7 miles I was seriously hitting a bit of a struggle I made the mistake that I was afraid of the most. I STARTED TOO FAST. I mean I have read enough articles and run enough to know that that starting too fast is the worst thing one can do. I was clearing 2 minutes off my training mile time. So my last half was a complete struggle and I thought I would get a better time but I clocked in a 2:41 and I am super duper excited that I did it in less than 3 hrs.
The last mile was the longest of my life. I was seriously thinking I should get into the struggle bus. But there was no way I could live with myself I had given up so quick to the finish line.
I know now I am not ready for a FULL. I mean the last time I did a Full DNF at 30 KM. I need to seriously work on my weight loss if a full is anywhere in my future. So now I have set myself a type of deadline. If I can have lost 20KG by the time the next Stanchart marathon comes around, I will register for the full. The weight loss however is not the only condition. I need to maintain at least 120 miles a month until the said time. but for now I will celebrate my Half- Marathon accomplishment and enjoy my medal.
I really miss blogging on a regular basis. Im thinking about making November a blog everyday challenge just so I can get back into the grove of things. I might have to make it more journal like and not focus only on vegetarianism and running. maybe I could start gossiping about my friends

You Are Here: Home > School and Group Visits
School Visits to All Saints Oystermouth
Please arrange a time and date with the Vicar .There is no charge for group visits.
Read letters to Bill the Verger from a local school
Historic All Saints Church in the heart of Mumbles welcomes school and group parties. There is so much to see and appreciate from ancient Roman pavement remains in the south aisle to the Norman Tower (check out the Flag flying days) and medieval Lady Chapel, the Font, described here, which dates from 1251AD (seen above); the modern stained glass windows - one in memory of the 1947 Mumbles Lifeboat disaster and the magnificent Rood Screen carved from Welsh oak in memory of the Mumbles men who lost their lives in the Great War and the spectacular Reredos behind
the High Altar to the east of the Church. The organ dates from 1873, it was a gift of Henry Crawshay, Ironmaster of Merthyr. The Bells of Santiago have now been returned, as a gift, to Chile, but we still have a memorial bell on display in the south aisle to commemorate the devastating fire in Santiago's Jesuit Church and the story of how its soot blackened bells found their way to All Saints Church in the nineteenth century.
For more details have a look at our Tour of All Saints pages.
In 2012, as part of the May, All Saints Alive! Literature Festival, professional storyteller Michael Harvey entertained and entranced 100 local primary school children
In 2011 we invited 250 Primary School children to a Schools Proms concert given by the James Davies Brass Group with organ and percussion. Both the 2012 and 2011 events were sponsored by the Austin Bailey Foundation.
Clown Roly Bain visited All Saints Church during May 2010 and entertained 130 local primary school children with his unique blend of Christian stories told with the aid of some amazing clowning tricks. More photos on the gallery page

TradeTheNews.com Weekly Market Update: Greek Standoff Continues Greece, Supreme Court Upholds Obamacare
Fri, 26 Jun 2015 16:04 PM EST
Another week passed without resolution of the Greek situation, which continues
to be the central drama in global markets. Bond markets remained remarkably
calm despite the standoff with Athens, and Friday's session saw US Treasury and
German Bund sellers push yields back up towards recent highs. Generally
positive US economic data along with Fed commentary supported the notion the
FOMC will be able to move on rates later this year. The US Dollar index gained
more than 1.5% on the week while the EUR/USD finished just above the 1.1143
50-day moving average for the first time in nearly one month. US equities moved
lower after last week's gains, while European stocks were very choppy on the
continuing game of Greece headline roulette. The Shanghai Composite lost
another 10.5% this week, putting it about 19% off its most recent high. For the
week, the DJIA lost 0.4%, the S&P500 dropped 0.4% and the Nasdaq fell 0.7%.
On Monday, markets reacted exuberantly to reports the Europeans had made a
breakthrough that could lead to a last-minute deal with Athens, sending the CAC
and the DAX up over 3% each on the day. The Greeks apparently offered
concessions to gradually move the retirement age to 67 and increase VAT taxes
on certain items, in exchange for an extension of the current bailout and a
possible third bailout. Like many prior breakthroughs, it didn't last. By
Wednesday, the Greeks were saying the Europeans had rejected their concessions
while the Europeans said the Greeks had rejected their offers. Meanwhile, the
ECB twice hiked ELA funding for Greece early in the week (making four increases
in the last week and a half), to a total of approximately €89B, but notably
held off from raising the facility in the latter half of the week as
negotiations soured. Hard negotiations led to hard feelings and both sides
invoked the word "blackmail" to describe the others' demands. German
Chancellor Merkel is said to have told colleagues that this weekend was the
final chance for Greece, with a deal required before the market opened next
Monday. Other European officials, including the Eurogroup chief Dijsselbloem
were more upbeat, still seeing a deal possibly coming together at the meeting
of financial ministers scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
European June flash PMI data provided more evidence of the accelerating recovery
on the Continent. The Markit Eurozone manufacturing PMI hit rose slightly to
52.5, its highest level in 14 months, while the composite PMI, which covers
both services and manufacturing, came in a 49-month high. Based on its survey,
Markit expects Q2 Eurozone around +0.4%, equal to Q1 GDP. The German and French
flash PMIs both saw improvements, with the composite index for France expanding
to 53.4 against May's 52.0, and the composite index for Germany rose to 54.0
from 52.6 in May.
The third and final reading of US Q1 GDP saw a decent upward revision but still
left the figure in contraction territory. The advance reading was +0.2%, the
preliminary figure was -0.7% and the final number out on Wednesday was -0.2%
(the year ago final figure was -2.1%). With Q1 in the can, the May PCE and
durables reports provided color on the progress of Q2. Core PCE - the Fed's
preferred measure of inflation - was +1.2%, right in line with expectations and
the April reading, but still well short of the Fed's 2.0% target. The real
bright spot was the personal spending component, which saw its biggest gain
since August 2009. The May durable goods report was mixed, with the headline
reading a bit worse than the revised April figure (-1.8% v -1.5% m/m), dragged
lower by more weak aircraft orders. Ex-transports, the May figure was up
slightly m/m, while the core capital goods component returned to growth (+0.4%
v -0.3% m/m).
Moderate Fed Governor Powell acknowledged the Q1 slowdown in the US economy
even as there are more recent signs of wage increases in the labor market.
According to Powell, rate hike conditions could be satisfied as soon as
September, making for a 50/50 chance of a rate hike as soon as September. He
said markets are starting to bake in a path of gradual rate hikes, making it
less important to focus intently on when rate liftoff occurs.
May US home sales were very strong, bouncing higher from the somewhat mixed
April data. Existing home sales rose to 5.35M, topping the previous cycle high
of 5.31M seen in July 2013, just prior to the taper tantrum decline. New home
sales were even stronger, rising to their highest rate since February 2008.
Note that the supply of new homes was unchanged at 206K and remains less than
half of what it was at the height of the housing boom. Homebuilder Lennar
reported second-quarter results on Wednesday, disclosing orders, deliveries and
a backlog that were up by double-digit percentages.
Obamacare survived a major challenge as the US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to
uphold disputed subsidies language in the King v. Burwell case. Chief Justice
John Roberts authored the majority opinion, writing "A fair reading of
legislation demands a fair understanding of the legislative plan." The
majority decision stated that the broader "context and structure" of
the act intended to allow tax credits under any exchange created by the law,
whether state or federal. Hospital and managed care stocks surged on the
ruling, many rising over 10%.
The same stocks got another boost as the merger waltz moved on to the
healthcare industry. Cigna received and rejected a $47 billion takeover offer
from Anthem, valued at $184/share, an 18% premium to the firm's prior closing
price. Cigna called the bid "inadequate" and said it was skewed
heavily in favor of Anthem shareholders. There were press reports that Aetna
was nearing a deal to acquire Humana in cash-and-stock deal. Shares of animal
healthcare specialist Zoetis went on a rollercoaster ride after a press report
said that it was approached by Valeant, which was subsequently shot down by
CNBC saying that Valeant was not likely to pursue a deal. Elsewhere, Potash
offered to acquire German fertilizer firm K+S, although there were no concrete
details disclosed by the firms about terms. Press reports suggested K+S thought
Potash's offer in excess of €40/share was too low.
IAC/InterActiveCorp said it was planning an IPO of its Match.com unit, which
also includes popular dating service Tinder. The new group will sell less than
20% of the company in the transaction, which is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter. Netflix shares reached new all-time highs after declaring a 7
for 1 stock split, but then hit some static after Carl Icahn announced he had
liquidated the remainder of his shares, netting a $1.6B profit.
The swoon in China markets continued with another outsized 7.4% Friday decline,
taking Shanghai Composite down over 6% for the week to a 6-week low. The index
is now down nearly 20% from its peak. The active IPO pipeline remains a popular
culprit among analysts, with another 28 listings this week estimated to freeze
up some CNY1.5T in investment funds. Incoming economic data hardly offered much
relief, as the HSBC flash manufacturing PMI implied a fourth straight month of
contraction amid more rapidly deteriorating employment conditions. The PBoC
made a feeble attempt to stem the tide, resuming reverse repo liquidity
injections through open market operations for the first time in nine weeks with
a CNY35B repurchase. The annual round of US-China Strategic and Economic
Dialogue negotiations also concluded this week with a promise by Beijing to
limit FX interventions to instances "necessitated by disorderly market
conditions", as opposed to last year's much more vague pledge to reduce
interventions "as conditions permit".
In contrast, Japan investors continued to cheer policymakers' commitment to
open-ended QQE, sending Nikkei225 to an 18-year high near 21,000 level. The
rally is particularly impressive considering that USD/JPY has spent its second
straight week trapped in ¥122.50-124.50 range in spite of a steady rise in US
rates. Servings of Japan economic data also appeared benign to outright
"goldilocks" - unemployment rate held at a multi-year low of 3.3%,
household spending rose by much higher than expected 4.8%, while inflation
further justified a united BOJ front at a 2-year low of 0.5%. Japan's quarterly
Tankan figures, along with wage inflation and retail spending data, are on tap
for next week.
