M2 PRESSWIRE-February 14, 2011-BUYINS.NET: Market Maker Surveillance Report. NOK, MNKD, JTX, EXPE, GWAY, ENOC, Losing Stocks With Lowest Price Friction For Friday, February 11th 2011(C)1994-2011 M2 COMMUNICATIONS

RDATE:12022011

BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Friday there were 2503 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3496 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1784 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Friday and low price friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. NOKIA CORP-SPON ADR (NYSE:NOK), MANNKIND CORP (NASDAQ:MNKD), JACKSON HEWITT TAX SERVICE (NYSE:JTX), EXPEDIA INC (NASDAQ:EXPE), GATEWAY INDUSTRIES INC (OTC:GWAY), ENERNOC INC (NASDAQ:ENOC). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit http://www.buyins.net .

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction

NOK $-1.510 -13.88% 89,891,032 44.40% 98,960,890 48.87% -9,069,858 -60,065

MNKD $-1.260 -24.90% 8,883,229 43.77% 11,408,606 56.22% -2,525,377 -20,043

JTX $-0.430 -24.71% 2,959,819 42.37% 4,022,324 57.59% -1,062,505 -24,709

EXPE $-4.430 -17.24% 22,929,529 48.37% 23,648,118 49.88% -718,589 -1,622

GWAY $-1.650 -36.67% 171,060 14.14% 218,758 18.08% -47,698 -289

ENOC $-3.500 -14.64% 745,383 39.17% 1,013,954 53.29% -268,571 -767

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely low price friction in their stocks. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows ENOC with a dollar loss Friday of $-3.50000 and a Friction Factor of -767 shares. That means that it only took 767 more shares of selling than buying to move ENOC lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.

CHECHEN REBEL LEADER PROMISES MORE TERROR ATTACKS ON RUSSIA.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The following information was released by the Voice of America (VOA):

Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov is vowing to carry out more terrorist attacks on Russia, and says Moscow faces "a year of blood and tears" if it does not relinquish control of the largely-Muslim North Caucasus.

Umarov leveled his latest threats in an undated Internet video aired Sunday on a Chechen rebel website (kavkazcenter.com). Dressed in military fatigues, the bearded Umarov also said a "brother" was being dispatched to Moscow to carry out an unspecified "special operation." He said "other blows will follow." Moscow has not commented on the video, which shows Umarov flanked by an unidentified male.

The recording made no direct reference to the Moscow airport bombing that killed 36 people and wounded nearly 200 others late last month. No one has claimed responsibility for that attack, but Moscow says it has identified a 20-year-old from the North Caucasus as the person who blew himself up January 24 in a crowded passenger area of Moscow's Domodedovo airport.

As the self-proclaimed Emir of the Caucasus, Umarov has sought to create an independent pan-Caucasus state governed by Muslim Sharia law. The proposed state would include Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia and other mainly Muslim territory in Russia's south.

Russia has fought two wars since the early 1990s to suppress the rebellion in Chechnya.

World's First Tweet-Fueled Race is On!

Mercedes-Benz USA's Social Media Race "Tweets" Out of the Starting Blocks

MONTVALE, N.J., Feb. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Teams involved in the world's first Tweet-fueled race (http://www.facebook.com/#!/mercedesbenzusa?v=app_171625276202183), the ground-breaking social media campaign by Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) that complements its first time advertising on the Super Bowl ad, hits the road today. Four two-person teams leave from one of four cities - Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Tampa - and head to Dallas in custom-outfitted Mercedes-Benz vehicles, relying on Tweets to get them to the finish line.

With Dallas as the end goal on February 4, each team is attempting to generate as much Twitter activity, or "Tweet Fuel," as possible along a 1,500-mile route over the next three days. The teams can pick up extra points by engaging their followers in social-media-related challenges throughout the journey. The team that reaches the finish line with the highest total score will be declared the winner. The prize for the driver and co-driver: an all-new 2012 C-Class Coupe which will debut later this year. To help rally online support, each team has the help of a Twitter-savvy celebrity coach - Serena Williams, Pete Wentz, Nick Swisher and Rev Run - who are also raising funds for charities in the process.

Consumers that support one of the four teams stand a chance to win a V.I.P. trip for two to a Mercedes-Benz sponsored event of their choice, should that team emerge victorious: the 2011 US Open, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in September 2011 or the 2011 PGA Championship. By participating in the race on Twitter, followers also put themselves in the running for one of 20 Tweet Race MVT (Most Valuable Tweeter) Awards that come with an exclusive Mercedes-Benz luggage set.

How The Race Works

"Tweet Fuel" is generated when a team's Twitter handle, assigned hashtag, or tweeted content is retweeted or replied to. Any unused Tweet Fuel left at the end of the day is converted into points and added to the teams' respective total scores. Over the last few weeks, the teams amassed thousands of Twitter followers in anticipation of the race start and will now rely on the support of their social media communities to propel them to victory. To supplement the Tweet Fuel, a series of challenges are designed to help the teams generate additional points. While these challenges are optional, their completion earns points towards their total score. Challenges include "Meet the Family" in which the teams can Tweet photographs of other Mercedes-Benz vehicles they spot on the road to Dallas and include the hashtag #MBFAMILY, or "America's Game" where they can pay homage to football's biggest prize by stopping by a local high school, college, or pro-football stadiums and snapping a photo of themselves in that football setting. The Race Director tallys each day's points for an overall score. The team with the highest total score at the end of the race will be declared the winner.

"We're really excited in seeing how this plays out now that the Race is on," said Stephen Cannon, vice president of Marketing for MBUSA. "The teams are incredibly creative and over the past few weeks they've generated content and interpreted the Mercedes-Benz brand in very cool and unexpected ways across virtually every social media platform to rally support for their teams and the charities. They each bring a unique perspective and ability to the Race and it will be interesting to see how they leverage that to power them across the finish line."

CHILDREN LEAD THE WAY IN IMMIGRANT FAMILIES RESEARCHER STUDIES 'BROKERING' ROLE A CHILD PLAYS IN HELPING PARENTS ADAPT TO NEW CULTURE.

Camden, NJ -- The following information was released by Rutgers University:

By Robin Lally

Rutgers sophomore Andres Pulido, right, was born in the U.S. after his family emigrated from Colombia. He is pictured with his father, Hernando, and older brother Daniel.

Tania Guaman was just 15 when she was thrust into a role that is foreign to most American-born kids her age. She talked to doctors when someone in her family had a medical emergency, made payment arrangements for overdue bills, filled out insurance forms, and acted as the intermediary between her Ecuadorian-born parents and their new country.

"I didn't think about it much, it was just something I did," says Guaman, a Rutgers junior majoring in Public Health at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

When she migrated to the United States at the age of 13, Guaman did not speak a word of English. "My mom was taking English classes when she could and trying to understand the language. But being in school, I learned more quickly and she would come to me to make sure things were right."

Studies indicate that older children often take the lead, that girls are more apt to be broker advocates than boys, and that personality often plays a role.

Guaman works as a research assistant to Vikki Katz, an assistant professor in the School of Communications and Information, who has spent the last four years researching how children from immigrant Latino families become brokers, or advocates, for their parents and contribute to their family's adaptation and integration into the community.

"These kids end up doing more to help their families than the average child," says Katz. "But when I ask these families about their children's brokering they are usually surprised by my interest, since they consider these responsibilities to be part of family functioning like making their beds or doing laundry."

There are more than 16 million children living in America's immigrant families, the vast majority U.S. citizens born in the United States to foreign-born parents, according to the Population Reference Bureau. Nearly half of these children speak English well but live in families where parents have difficulty speaking English.

The roles children play in the adaptation of immigrant parents has not been fully explored. Traditionally, Katz says, it was thought that immigrants who successfully adapt to new surroundings help their children instead of the other way around.

"What we are finding out, however, is that the parents who remain as the authority figures and work with their children as a team, are the most successful," Katz. says "These child brokers spend a lot more time at home interacting with and for their parents than other kids their own age."

Andres Pulido, a sophomore on his way to earning a degree in finance from Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick, was born in the United States in 1991, eight years after his parents migrated from Colombia with his two older brothers. He remembers reading the mail to his mother when he was just 8 years old and translating for her while grocery shopping or at a doctor's appointment.

"She would be the one to make the decisions. She just needed me to help interpret for her so she could understand," Pulido says.

Katz says children of immigrants take on increased amounts of responsibility from an early age with the most intense period of brokering for their parents occurring after age 11 and up until 19. Studies indicate that older children often take the lead, that girls are more apt to be broker advocates than boys, and that personality often plays a role.

While many middle class teenagers have the latest information technologies at their fingertips and may be asked by their parents to program TiVo or show them how to set up a Facebook page, Katz says children of less advantaged immigrant families often don't even have the internet access they need at home to link their parents to vital social or health care services crucial for assimilation.

Still, despite limited technological tools and community and school-based support, research indicates that children of immigrants have a greater influence and contribute more to overall family decision-making than they would have if they had not migrated.

Catherine Lee, 39, an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology, immigrated to the United States from Korea at the age of 6. Even though her parents were considered upper middle class they still relied on Lee and her siblings to help them fill out government documents, naturalization papers and insurance forms.

Even today, more than 30 years after first settling in Texas, Lee's father still turns to her when he has a question or problem.

"I was the most affable one in the family," she says. "Just a few months ago my dad, who gets regular cancer check-ups called me to help him understand a CT scan. The funny thing is that he is calling me when my sister is a radiation oncologist."

Florida Customers' Ability To 'Rule The Air' Enhanced Through $195 Million Network Investment in 2010.

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless, the nation's leading wireless company with the largest, most reliable 3G network, announced today that it invested $195 million during 2010 in Florida to further enhance wireless services and network coverage for its customers across the state.

The 2010 investment included the continued enhancement of the company's industry-leading 3G network, as well as the initial rollout of the most advanced 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution) high-speed wireless network in the state.

"Through ongoing investments and an amazing team of network technicians in Florida, we've built the largest and most reliable 3G network that will continue to serve customers for many years to come, and allow them to truly 'rule the air,'" said Pam Tope, Verizon Wireless Florida region president. "At the same time, we're excited to have turned on our powerful new 4G LTE network in more Florida markets than any other state in the country."

In December, Verizon Wireless 4G LTE launched in the core areas of Miami, Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa Bay, Orlando and Jacksonville, as well as at the Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers.

Verizon Wireless will continue to expand 4G LTE in these areas and into new Florida markets in 2011, and is scheduled to cover the entire state with the advanced wireless technology by 2013.

Continuing to enhance both the Florida 3G and 4G LTE networks will help ensure that customers receive the most reliable and advanced coverage for making voice calls, sending e-mails, text and picture messages, connecting to the internet and accessing tens of thousands of applications, games, video, music and many other features from their phone, notebook, netbook, tablet or other wireless device.

Other highlights of the Verizon Wireless 2010 network investment in Florida include:

* Completion of a new South Florida Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO). The 45,000-square-foot facility located in west Broward County serves as the company's main call-processing hub for South Florida, with the capacity to handle tens of millions of voice calls and wireless data transmissions each day. The structure, designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane, is equipped with large-scale back-up power generation, further enhancing the everyday and emergency strength of the Verizon Wireless network. The facility joins other Verizon Wireless "super switches" in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa Bay and Jupiter.

* Integration of more than 700 Alltel cell sites and several large switching facilities across the state to work as part of the largest and most advanced Verizon Wireless network. With the assimilation of former Alltel resources, many of which located in smaller markets along the Gulf Coast or rural areas in North Florida, the Verizon Wireless company-owned network now covers nearly the entire state and virtually 100 percent of Florida's population.

* Installation of numerous high-tech in-building systems that use dozens of small wireless transmitters, resembling small smoke detectors, to ensure strong inside coverage. These systems were installed in high-priority public safety facilities such as police stations, emergency command centers and hospitals, as well as high-traffic wireless consumer locations such as hotels, resorts and tourist attractions.

* Deployment of technicians and special vehicles to measure connection quality on the Verizon Wireless network versus other carriers. Using sophisticated testing equipment, the local test teams traveled nearly 50,000 miles and conducted more than 200,000 voice call attempts and more than one million data tests to ensure network superiority.

* Installation of numerous new transmission sites, in addition to software and hardware upgrades to hundreds of existing locations, to reinforce network coverage throughout the state. Due to the long-term ongoing network investment since the company was formed, Verizon Wireless is well positioned to install new cell sites in select areas to stay well ahead of customer growth and maintain the industry's most advanced and reliable 3G network.

The investment to enhance network reliability in Florida is an ongoing focus for Verizon Wireless. Since the company formed in 2000, more than $2.2 billion has been invested to build and enhance Verizon Wireless network coverage and services for customers in the state. Nationally, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $60 billion to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services.

Bubbly Marks cashes in on cashmere boom.(News)

Byline: Sean Poulter Consumer Affairs Editor

CHAMPAGNE and cashmere helped Marks & Spencer to a record-breaking Christmas as a hard-pressed nation sought consolation in a little luxury.

The retail giant defied the big freeze to post a 4 per cent increase in total sales in the 13 weeks up to January 1. It said big-impact promotions helped food sales achieve a record of more than [pounds sterling]50million on December 23.

Remarkably, more was spent on its Louis Chaurey champagne than any food prod-uct in the week before New Year's Eve - beating staples such as bread, milk and tea.

M&S, whose Christmas marketing campaign was fronted by Peter Kay, Twiggy and Dannii Minogue, sold 1.1million bottles in the 13-week period - up 10 per cent on the year before. The chain sold 600,000 cashmere products such as cardigans and jumpers around Christmas.

Sales of cashmere items priced at [pounds sterling]69 or above were up 11 per cent on a year ago.

At the same time, it sold 60,000 Fair Isle knitwear items and 25,000 Fair Isle accessories, no doubt helped by the freezing weather.

Similarly, there was a boom in thermal underwear, including vests and long johns, for both sexes.

Christmas is crucial for M&S, particularly in terms of food. The company, which suffered during the recession, claims it benefited as shoppers made a 'return to quality'.

This year, it sold a record 1.9million turkeys, which includes whole birds, crowns and joints, which was up by 9 per cent on the year before.

There was another record with sales of 3.3million packs of salmon and prawns. M&S serves 21million customers a week from more than 650 UK stores.

Its sales through the internet were up by 25 per cent on a year ago, while the company is planning a major overseas expansion.

City analysts said M&S's perception as being popular among wealthy consumers meant it was in a stronger position as the country enters a tough 2011.

Philip Dorgan, analyst at Altium Securities, said: 'These numbers show that M&S can cope extremely well with difficult trading conditions.' City - Page 64
