CUMULATIVE DIVIDEND INCREASES SURPASSES FULL 2010
The net S & P 500 rates indicated dividend (increases less decreases) year 20.985 billion update has just surpassed (today XOM put the) total increased 20.650 billion in 2010. Using the analogy of dividends being your pay cheque, CDA has given you a 8.20% salary increase, with 12 months 17,90% increase. However, you still 10.66% less than you were in June 2008, with my estimate that it will be early 2013 until you get the equivalent payment in your hand as you did in 2008. For the first four months of the year, the net dividend indicated increases for the S & P 500 is 148% of the period of April 2010, 4 months, with the actual amount + 13.6%.
For the full year, I expect dividend increases continue at a rapid pace, but not at the level of the last four months. If the economy continues to improve (or at least the housing and Commercial real estate is not dive), I would expect a possible second round (not that we are still made with the first) of Financial dividend increases year, with the payment increased in the first quarter of 2012.

(Updates with comment from analyst in the third paragraph).
April 29 (Bloomberg) - oil producer Total SA second in Europe, reported first-quarter profit climbed 35 percent as higher crude oil prices offset, a decline partly due to the conflict in Libya.Profit excluding changes in stocks and the value of a stake in Sanofi-Aventis SA increased to 3.1 billion euros (4.6 billion) ($) of 2.3 billion euros a year earlier, the Paris-based company said today. That beat the average of 3 billion euro in a survey of analysts Bloomberg. Net income reached 51 per cent to 3.95 billion euros. "It is a solid set of results, Bertrand Hodee, analyst of capital markets of Kepler that shares to"hold"rate, said in an e-mail. "Total is clearly the right to regain the confidence of investors in medium term but delivery is too far".Total joins other European producers of energy in the reports of the higher earnings on the back of rising oil prices. Royal Dutch Shell Plc said yesterday that profit rose 30 percent, as the price of Brent average of $105.52 US per barrel in the first quarter, 36 per cent more than a year earlier. Total announced yesterday an agreement to buy as much as 60 percent of the second largest manufacturer of solar panel U.S. SunPower Corp. of $ 1.38 billion.Company's production output in the first quarter DropThe fell 2% to 2.37 million barrels oil equivalent per day from a year earlier. Production was interrupted in Libya during the period and has also declined due to price effects.Shares increased by 0.2% to 43.09 euros at 10: 06 pm, in Paris. The stock is up to 8.6% this year.The company said in February that it expected output to be little changed this year due to a lull in the startups and is committed to exploring more aggressively the oil and gas. The company reversed a decline that touched a nine year low in 2009 by launching new fields and liquefied natural gas projects and has forecast growth of the average production of 2% per year until 2015. "The French company expects to start production in the area of the Pazflor in Angola in the fourth quarter".Total is actively managing its portfolio, it mainly moving toward upstream, "Director General Christophe de Margerie said in the statement of income." This includes more emphasis on "new energies" and sales of assets should be approximately $ 10 billion this year.Agreement of the SunPowerTotal to buy a stake in SunPower strengthens its operations in renewable energy. This follows an agreement in February to sell a 49% Spanish refiner Cia involvement. Espanola de Petroleos SA of 3.7 billion euros. Total is in talks to sell its Lindsey refinery to the United Kingdom after the decision of a French refinery last year.The company is working on five projects of exploration and production with Russian partners and holds approximately 12 per cent in OAO Novatek, as energy companies look in Russia to increase reserves. Total has agreed to buy the game for about $ 4 billion at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.In March last month, it purchased a stake in Ugandan exploration blocks with China National Offshore Oil Corp. of Tullow Oil Plcpaving the way for the development of the basin of Lake Albert, after the transaction was accepted by a tax dispute. "European refining margins decreased from the first quarter, mainly reflecting the impact of the strong increase in the price of oil,"said today Total.Total said above, that benefit crude turning into fuels such as gasoline and diesel in the Northwest of Europe dropped 17 percent in the first quarter of the previous year earlier this month. Margins fell as European refiners were unable to compete with cheaper fuels of their American counterparts.-with the help of Stephen Cunningham in London, editors in Chief: Jonas Bergman, Randall Hackley

Costs of storm U.S. amounted to 297
At least 297 people were killed across six States - more than two-thirds of them in Alabama - as the most deadly of America tornado outbreak in nearly four decades pulverized neighbourhoods together.
Firefighters searched a heap fragmented after another for the survivors of Thursday, combing the remains of houses and neighbourhoods in large cities who wore the scars kilometres wide, spirals left behind.
The number of dead from the storms on Wednesday out of a bygone era, prior to Doppler radar and satellite pinpoint forecasts were around to warn communities of severe weather. Residents were informed the tornadoes came up to 24 minutes in advance, but they were simply too large, too powerful and too locked areas populated to avoid a horrible count.
"These were the most intense thunderstorms super-cell that I think that anyone who has been out there prediction has ever known,", said meteorologist Greg Carbin Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma.
"If you experienced a direct hit from one of them, you will need to be protected from the storm, underground or a reinforced room" to survive, Carbin said.
Storms seemed to embrace interstate highways as they tonnelés along as runaway trucks, erasure of neighborhoods or even any cities of Tuscaloosa in Virginia. A family is mounted on the disaster in the basement of a funeral home, another by huddling in a tanning bed.
Concord, Alabama, a small town outside of Birmingham was ravaged by a tornado, Randy Guyton family received a telephone call from a friend warning to cover. They rushed to the garage in the basement, stacked in their car and listening to the ROAR as the tornado devoured the House in a few seconds. Later, they saw advanced through the shards of their home and scrambled out.
"The whole of the House collapsed car," said. "Other than my shouting boy the Lord to save us, being in this car is what saved us".
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley said that his State had confirmed 210 deaths. There are 33 dead in Mississippi, 33, Tennessee 15 in Georgia, five in Virginia and Kentucky in a single. Hundreds, even thousands of people were injured - 600 to only Tuscaloosa.
Some of the worst damage was in Tuscaloosa, a city of more than 83,000 either is home to the University of Alabama. Storms destroyed the centre of emergency management, so Bryant-Denny Stadium school has been transformed into an a fortune. Officials of the school said two students were killed, although they did not say how they died. Finals were cancelled and entered into force was postponed.
A new tower-mounted camera he captured images of a tornado surprisingly thick, powerful, throwing debris that it levelledneighbourhoods.
Wider than normal
Twister and other Wednesday were several times more serious that a typical tornado, which is hundreds of meters wide, winds about 160 kilometres per hour and remains on the ground for a few kilometres, said meteorologist research Harold Brooks at the Storm Prediction Center.
"There is a fairly good chance some of them have been a mile in width, the field for tens of kilometres and had wind speeds over 200 mph (320 kph)," he said.
The loss of life is the largest of an outbreak of tornadoes U.S. Since April 1974, when the 329 people were killed by a storm that swept the 13 southern and Midwestern States.
Brooks said the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa could be a réévalutaion - the highest category of the tornado, with winds of more than 322 km/h - and was at least the second category, an EF4.
The Associated Back press folders of accessibility linksTrump singed on birther gambit Obama
A full-throttle reaction against Donald Trump grabbed the United States on Thursday, with everyone from activists of the civil rights respected journalists and a favoured son Tea Party piles.
Even the usually unflappable Trump see accusations, that it was racist to raise questions about diplomas and Barack Obama on the heels of suggest that the President was not born in the United States.
Used to be the subject of ridicule, widespread in the 1980s, when Canadian Graydon Carter spy magazine he skewered happily as a "vulgarian rights court", Trump has since created a large fan and a grudging respect for his keen sense of business because of his TV réalitéL show ' apprentice.
But there is little love for Trump Thursday, the day after the White House pulled birth certificate for the long-form of the President after that billionaire revitalized the debate of what is called birther. The standard form of the document was released three years ago.
Trump took credit for the move of the White House, and then proceeded to his line of attack by suggesting Obama was academic fraud who did not have the qualifications to Harvard. He seemed to be a reference to the policies of affirmative action in the country, hated by many Republicans.
This new front in battle prompted a scathing rebuke of Bob Schieffer, a journalistic respected veteran of the United States which has covered national politics for decades.
"It is a code just to say: it is mounted in the school of law, because he is black," Schieffer said on the CBS Evening News. "This is a ugly racism strain that runs through this thing."
Jesse Jackson and other civil rights activists also have positions of the Trump suggested on the issue of the birther smack of academic authenticity of the Obama of racism. A white President, they point out, has never been hunted by questions about his hometown.
A day after the remarks of Schieffer, Trump appeared taken interloqué.
"This is a terrible statement to a news anchor to do", Trump said when reached by TMZ gossip Web site. "I am the last person who should say such a thing on."
But for the first time since the beginning of the Trump take ostensibly for a race for the Republican presidential nomination, it seemed that he blushes first. The man known as "the Donald" walked back his latest attack of Obama.
"Grades are the least important aspect of someone being President", he told TMZ. "It is not something big for me."
The reaction has been brewing even before a frustrated Obama, denouncing the "Carnival Barker" who wrongly insist he was not born in the United States, appeared in the briefing room of the White House to express its dismay that questions on place of birth has continued to dog.
Liberal of Celebrity Apprentice fans stopped would have been watching since Trump began flying the flag birther and therefore to obtain ratings of the show, the Atlantic reported Thursday, citing demographic research provided by the National Media Inc..
Expert curators such as Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer were contemptuous of the potential of the Trump run for President for weeks. And in private, Republicans have been appalled by how much attention, it was diverting to other, more legitimate, potential candidates who may chance to beat Obama in 2012.
Trump has been at the top of opinion polls, leading other potential Republican candidates.
But Paul Rand, a beloved child of Tea Party movement - whose adherents believe much Obama was not born in the United States - said number of Trump will fall when Republicans learn that he has donated more money for the Democrats that the GOPincluding Harry Reid, the leader of the Democratic majority in the Senate.
Paul has launched a challenge to Trump Thursday in the comments of the public who are among the first to spring to the mouth of a large Republican publicly.
Kentucky Senator opened a breakfast speech to New risk to require the Trump Republican titles.
"I want to see the original long-form certificate of Republican nomination of Donald Trump," he said to laughter from the crowd. "To seriously...". I want to see the original of the long-form certificate, with the seal in relief, of the Republican registration of Donald Trump. ?
He has even a jab to Trump on Obama attacks while ridiculing his simplistic ideas on how to deal with the soaring price of gasoline.
"He always complained on the education of the President", Paul said to journalists covering the event in Concord, N.H.
"What economic school teaches you that you may have a bully for a President who sets the price by saying simply the country what is the price that they should require." That shows me an economic simplicity that can really not be equivalent to the stature to be President. ?
Accessibility linksCalifornia, Texas and payroll of workers of the State
By David Mildenberg and James Nash
California prison guards are two times more than their counterparts in Texas $ — 71 000 per year, compared to $31. The difference is true for workers of the State in General: while in 2009, the average worker of the private sector in California is 12.5% more than in Texas, the disparity between the workers of the State was 25.2%, according to figures from the Ministry of Commerce of. The difference highlights the benefits - and the taxpayer - work in a friendly union of State and may help explain why California has budgetary problems more intractable than Texas. Although Texas has a budget deficit of $ 4.3 billion this year, it has the credit rating of Standard & Poor (MHP) second. California has the lowest rating of any State and is struggling to fill a $ 15.4 billion deficit this year.
The difference in pay of State workers can be explained in part by cost of living California, which is almost 15% higher than in Texas. Yet the power of collective bargaining is even more important, said Oran McMichael, an organizer of long date labor in Texas. Other than the Court and the legislative function, unions represent 85% of all workers in the State of California, said Lynelle Jolley, a spokesman for the staff Administration Dept. the State then that Texas does not have the figures for its employees, trade unions, the proportion is probably less than 10 percent, said State Auditor John keel.
Higher wages mean higher pensions. Retired from the Texas teachers get an average of $18,372 per year, compared to $25,440 for California teachers. Allocation average for the employees of the former State Texas rose 3.9% in the five years through fiscal year 2010; in California he rose 32 percent from 2004 to 2009, according to larger pension in both States.
The contrasting experiences of Texas and California can provide lessons for States such as Ohio, New Jersey and Wisconsin, where Republican Governors have placed emphasis on costs down employment taxes while balancing the budgets of curb. State workers in California and Texas are targeted for cuts, even if the pressure is more intense in the former. Employees state he did not receive an overall increase from 2009 and are now required to take an unpaid day off the coast of every month, explains Jolley.
The salary increase, however, is a more consistent workforce. Turnover rate of 10 percent of the California prison guards is about half the level that it is in Texas. "Our people see their work in a career, not just as something to have until something better comes along," says Ryan Sherman, a spokesman for the California Assn. Correctional of agents of peace in Sacramento.
The bottom line: In California, where more than civil servants are covered by the trade unions, made wages higher than in Texas and a pension burden.

Justin Fanti
By Soto HernandoIn the second half of the 19th century, the major global economies have endured a series of brutal recession. At the time, most forms of reliable economic knowledge were organized in relations feudal, heritage and tribues. If you want to know who owned land or a debt, it is saved locally - and very probably from outsiders. At the same time, the world was in full expansion. Travel between cities and countries has become the most common and global trade has increased. The result was a huge gap between the old, fragmented social order and the needs of a market economy globalizing and growing.
To avoid the breakdown of the industrial and commercial progress, hundreds of reformers creative concluded that the world needed a common set of facts. Knowledge must be gathered for the occasion, organized, standardized, registered, continuously updated and easily accessible - so that all players in the world of the enlargement of markets could, under the terms of the champion of the free banking of France Charles Coquelin, "pick up thousands of filaments which create companies between them."
The result was the invention of the first mass "systems of public memory" to record and classify - in records of rule-bound, certified and accessible to the public, titles, balance sheets and statements of account - all available relevant knowledge, if intangible (stocks)(, actesgrands books, contracts, patents, companies, and promissory notes, commercial paper), or tangible (land, buildings, ships, machinery, etc.). Knowing who owned and backwards and fixing these information in public documents, allowed investors to deduct the value, take risks and monitor the results. The final product was a revolutionary form of knowledge: "economic facts".
Over the past 20 years, the Americans and Europeans have quietly passed on the destruction of these facts. Systems which could provide Governments with the means to understand the global financial crisis - and to prevent another - and markets are being eroded. Governments have allowed the shadow markets develop and attain a size beyond understanding. Mortgages have been granted and registered with this inattention that owners and banks often does not know and cannot prove ownership of their homes. A few decades Western undermine the 150 years of legal reforms that made possible the world economy.
The results are hardly surprising. To the United States trust is broken in between banks and holders of mortgages; between arresting officers and the courts; between banks and their investors - even between banks and other banks. Overall, credit (from the Latin "Trust") continues to run regularly, but closer examination shows that a contract of non-governmental credit. Private lending fell from 21 per cent since 2007. Outstanding loans to small businesses last more than 6% last year, while loans to large enterprises, measured in commercial loans in addition to $ 1 million, declined by 9%.
The importance of the economic facts may not be obvious to Americans. "That fish knows on the water in which it swims?" asked Albert Einstein. But it is easy to grasp in the perspective of the developing countries and former Communists where I live and work. In these countries, most of our assets and relationships are in the informal sector, outside the legal economy. Because they are not saved in memory public systems, they cannot be written as facts and are, indeed, invisible. We do the shadow markets.
Without standardization, the values of assets and relationships are so variable that they can not be used to ensure the credit, to generate mortgage loans, and to group them in securities, to represent the shares to raise capital. Neither them they correspond to the standard slots required to enter global markets. That is why credit crunches and massive unemployment are chronic diseases for most of the people forced to operate in the informal economy. It is those who you see for protesting in the streets of Arab countries or living in tents around Port - au-Prince. We do know that too well that the facts speak for themselves: they must be built through legal and kept process transparent. They must be defended, too.
