Gun Stocks Shoot Through the Roof

Given the increasingly uncertain political and economic climate, it’s no big surprise that people are continuing to buy guns in record numbers. However, at this stage it’s surpassed just an issue of being record numbers. We’d say guns are selling like hotcakes, but there might not be market data showing that hotcakes sell this fast.
24/7 Wall Street, an investment website, has news on the incredible, practically vertical rise of gun stocks over the past few years:
Records were set in annual units produced by Smith & Wesson and on annual cash generated. S&W said that these results are driven by strong sales of M&P polymer pistols and M&P modern sporting rifles.
The S&W earnings report is full of more “record-setting events” by the gun-maker that were just impossible to ignore. The fourth quarter saw a record at $129.8 million and the company posted a record earnings of $17.8 million for its fiscal year with another record of earnings from operations of $17.8 million.
More gains are expected ahead as well with first quarter sales of $125.0 million to $130.0 million. Here is the amazing stat: that is 36% growth. GAAP earnings for the first quarter are put at $0.16 to $0.19 per share versus $0.12 expected. For the year ahead, S&W sees sales from continuing operations of between $485.0 million and $505.0 million or about 17% total. GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations are being targeted between $0.60 and $0.65 for fiscal 2013 versus $0.50 expected.
How rabid is the desire for guns? Three months ago, Ruger Firearms stopped accepting orders for new weapons altogether because they couldn’t keep up with the demand. And if these stock numbers are correct, guns are practically the new gold.
Scientists Invent Particles That Will Let You Live Without Breathing

• The solution has already been successfully tested on animals
• The particles are composed of oxygen gas
• These fatty oxygen particles are about two to four micrometers in size
• They dramatically increase the surface area for gas exchange
• John Kheir had the idea of an injected oxygen solution started
This may appear like something out of a science fiction movie: researchers have created microparticles that can be injected directly into the bloodstream to rapidly oxygenate your body, even if you can’t breathe any longer. It is one of the best medical breakthroughs in recent years, and one that could save millions of lives each and every year.
The invention, developed by a team at Boston Children’s Hospital, will let medical teams to keep patients alive and well for 15 to 30 minutes despite major respiratory failure. This is enough time for doctors and emergency personnel to act with out risking a heart attack or permanent brain injuries in the patient.
The remedy has currently been effectively tested on animals beneath important lung failure. When the medical doctors injected this liquid into the patient’s veins, it restored oxygen in their blood to close to-normal levels, granting them these valuable added minutes of life.
Particles of fat and oxygen
The particles are composed of oxygen gas pocketed in a layer of lipids, a all-natural molecule that usually shops energy or serves as a component to cell membranes. Lipids can be waxes, some vitamins, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, or—as in this case—fats.
These fatty oxygen particles are about two to four micrometers in size. They are suspended in a liquid remedy that can be easily carried and utilized by paramedics, emergency crews and intensive care personnel. This seemingly magic elixir carries “three to four times the oxygen content of our own red blood cells.

What’s Behind NATO Reaction To Downed Turkish Jet?
by Igor Siletsky
Voice of Russia
June 26, 2012
Although NATO is not considering military action over the shooting down of a Turkish fighter jet in Syria, what happened is unacceptable and deserves condemnation, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said after a NATO emergency meeting on Syria. His statement indicates NATO’s reluctance to use military force against Damascus.
On June 22, Syrian troops shot down a Turkish jet fighter. Syria insists that the plane violated its airspace and was destroyed over its territorial waters not far from the Latakia province. The pilots have not been found. Syrian commanders say they acted in full compliance with the law.
Turkey, which initially acknowledged that its F-4 fighter jet had crossed into Syrian airspace, now claims that it was in international airspace the moment the attack occurred.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu admitted soon after the incident that the plane had crossed the Syrian border 15 minutes before the attack. Later, Ankara retracted this statement and took a tougher stance. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recalled that Syrian helicopters had intruded into Turkish airspace on five occasions and that no retaliatory action followed. He made clear this would not be the case any more.
Some analysts think that the plane incident aimed at probing the combat readiness of the Syrian air defense forces.
On the other hand, it could be used as a pretext for a military operation against Syria. But NATO’s reaction to the incident makes the latter scenario unlikely.
Russian analyst Alexander Khramchikhin thinks that the latest hollow statement from Brussels is a sign that NATO is not planning any military intervention in Syria at least for the time being.
Political scientist Sergei Markov argues that intervention has actually started. Foreign mercenaries are fighting on the opposition’s side, and Syrian refugee camps in Turkey are being used to train armed opposition fighters.
