(NASDAQ: SAVE), A123 Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: AONE), Sequenom Inc. (NASDAQ: SQNM), Boardwalk Pipeline Partners LP (NYSE: BWP), Hercules Technology Growth Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: HTGC), Martin Midstream Partners LP (NASDAQ: MMLP), ZIOPHARM Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZIOP), Francesca’s Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: FRAN), and Nordic American Tankers Limited (NYSE: NAT).

Here is a link to each summary with much more detail from the wire:
