Lunchtime and the dow is making run for 14k and MLPs are mixed. The index is down just .20 and has been in a tight range. Still there are some nice winners today. Constellation Partners (CEP) is up 2 to 45. Buckeye Holdings (BGH) Atlas Resource (ATN) and Markwest Hydrocarbon (MWP) are all up 1 and a few pennies. E V Partners (EVEP) Crosstex LP (XTEX) Global Partners (GLP) are all fractional winners.

Nustar Holdings (NSH) is fractionally lower along with Hiland (HLND) Martin Midstream (MMLP) and Kinder Morgan (KMP), that one probably the drag on the mlp index.

There seems to be a firm feel to the group going into the afternoon. No additional breaking news.
