| Great Outdoors Almanac - Green Bay Press-Gazette Posted: 11 Mar 2010 01:55 AM PST FIELD GUIDE: Beginner program hosts turkey huntA Learn To Hunt wild turkey program will be held in early April in eastern Brown, northern Kewaunee and southern Door counties, with no license or hunter education required. First preference will be given to individuals from nonhunting families, but all beginners are welcome to apply. A four-hour class on safety, biology and hunting tactics will be held for participants before the hunt. Interested youths or adults, experienced hunters who could serve as mentors and landowners who could allow access can call (920) 883-9792 for more information. Learn To Hunt programs should not be confused with the state's annual youth turkey hunt, set for April 10-11. New this year, the youth hunt will include youth ages 10 and 11 as well as 12- to 15-year-olds. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| Stocks and Bonds - New York Times Posted: 10 Mar 2010 10:56 PM PST A renewed sense that Wall Street's biggest financial companies had endured the worst of the economic downturn helped lead the stock market higher on Wednesday. Investors snapped up financial shares amid speculation that bailed-out companies were on track to report substantially improved balance sheets. With the recovery still tepid, traders welcomed any sign that the hardest-hit companies were moving to rid themselves of government support. The American International Group, the troubled insurer, surged 10.6 percent to close at $36.24 as investors bet that it would put more assets on the market after recently agreeing to sell two of its major insurance units. Citigroup rose 3.7 percent, to $3.96, as it moved to repay its bailout funds by selling trust preferred securities, which appear on accounting statements as equity, not debt. It was the second day of stunning gains for each company. "The bottom line is they are paying back their bailout money, and the economy has turned around," said Jeffrey A. Hirsch, editor of The Stock Trader's Almanac. "They were extremely oversold, priced at bankruptcy levels, and that didn't happen." Other companies in the banking sector also benefited. Wells Fargo shares gained more than 2 percent, Bank of America rose 1.85 percent, and JPMorgan Chase climbed 1.2 percent. Traders have been reluctant to make risky moves recently in the absence of economic data. On Thursday and Friday, they will get a clearer picture of the strength of the recovery when figures on the trade deficit, consumer sentiment and retail sales are released. Stocks meandered for much of Wednesday, leaving the major indexes with slim gains. A decline in commodities took a toll on materials stocks, tempering some of the momentum. Copper fell 1 percent, and gold declined nearly 1.5 percent. At the close, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 0.03 percent, or 2.95 points, to 10,567.33. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 0.45 percent, or 5.16 points, to 1,145.61. The Nasdaq composite index climbed 0.78 percent, or 18.27 points, to 2,358.95, helped by a 2.9 percent increase in shares of Google as the company indicated it was closer to resolving a dispute with the Chinese government. A round of corporate deals provided another sign that businesses were gaining confidence. Late Tuesday, the drug and medical products maker Abbott Laboratories said it would buy Facet Biotech for $450 million. On Wednesday, shares of Facet Biotech surged 67 percent. As investors tried to assess the recovery's strength, a snapshot of business confidence released Wednesday offered little clarity: wholesale inventories thinned unexpectedly in January, indicating rising demand from consumers, but businesses remained reluctant to build stockpiles. Inventories declined 0.2 percent, the Commerce Department said. Wall Street analysts had predicted an increase of that amount. Stocks were also helped by a sign that the global recovery was taking hold. The Chinese government said exports climbed 46 percent in February, compared with a year earlier, largely because of a rebound in demand from the United States and other Western countries. In Europe, financial markets also closed higher. The FTSE 100 in London rose 0.7 percent, and the DAX in Frankfurt and CAC-40 in Paris increased 0.9 percent. The pound continued to weaken, slipping to $1.4973, from $1.4987, because of brewing deficit problems and reports that factory production in Britain had slowed. The Treasury's 10-year note fell 5/32, to 99 7/32. The yield rose to 3.72 percent, from 3.70 percent late Tuesday. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
