Arts Doc Watch '06
So, as I stated in My Platform a couple weeks back, I believe documentaries can save the world. With this in mind I have decided to go on a doc-watching binge. Last Tuesday I went to On 15th Video and took advantage of their "Half-Price Tuesday" deal. Four non-new release DVDs cost a mere eight bucks plus change. (Yeah, I know, Netflix is only a dime a month and you never have to leave your house and blah, blah, blah. You don't run into cute girls on Netflix, dude.) This week I picked up Cane Toads, Word Wars, Hell House, and Trekkies.
Of the bunch, Word Wars was easily the best. The filmmakers follow four word warriors on their way to the Scrabble campionship in San Diego. Now, I've played a few rounds of Scrabble in my day, but I had no idea the depth of strategy or obsession involved in this game. Generally, to excel in the world of professional Scrabble one must devote the majority of your day to playing the game and studying the dictionary, leaving little time for such trivialities as regular meals, developing social graces, and being employed. The scene where we see the towering piles of paper cluttering G.I. Joel's apartment (the G.I. stands for "gastro-intestinal") hit a little too close to home. A truly fascinating film.
Hell House is a compelling look at that Pentacostal church in Texas that puts on an annual haunted house of the horrors that afflict those not saved. Apparently if you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior you are damned to a violent death involving AIDS, guns, drug-induced gang-rapes, or a perpetually bleeding womb. Oh, and you get to hear them speak in tongues.
Cane Toads is about a species of big, ugly toads that is taking over Australia. They were brought over from Hawaii in the early 20th century to eat the cane grubs that were decimating Australia's sugar-cane crops. Due to an anomaly of nature, the toads did nothing to stop the ravenous cane grubs, but did succeed in reproducing like rabbits (another problem on that continent) and eating anything else that crosses their paths (you haven't lived until you've seen a giant toad choking down a live mouse). Oh, and they secrete a deadly neuro-toxin as well. Fun! Also, if they are facing you when you run them down in your car, they make a satisfying pop as the air trapped inside them blows their ass out.
Trekkies is a relatively light-weight examination of just how freaky obsessive Star Trek fans can be. A highlight is interview footage with that weird Trekkie lady, a Starfleet Commander no less, who served on the Whitewater jury (and who, I believe, may have inspired the character of deputy Trudy Wiegel, my one true love, on Reno 911). It's also fun to try and notice how many bits of Star Wars ephemera slip into the mix.
I picked up four more docs last night and I'll report back with my impressions.
As always, suggestions are encouraged.

$40 million check is ësmall step' for Houma lock project
Published: Friday, October 26, 2007 at 11:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 25, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
HOUMA -- The Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District has received $40 million in state money to hasten construction of a lock on the Houma Navigation Canal.
Department of Natural Resources Secretary Scott Angelle presented the multimillion-dollar check to Levee District officials prior to a special state committee hearing on coastal restoration and flood control Thursday at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, a research facility in Cocodrie.
The money represents about a fourth of what it will cost to build the lock, estimated at $200 million, and comes from surplus money in the state budget.
"One of the things we are paying for our coastal projects with is oil-and-gas money," said Angelle. "And with Terrebonne being a hub of the industry, it just makes sense that we move forward with a project that will protect this area."
The Houma Navigation Canal is a manmade channel that provides direct access to the Gulf of Mexico from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The plan is to build a bypass channel adjacent to the canal, complete with a lock and floodgate.
That will allow Levee District officials to regulate water levels in the canal, while giving marine traffic uninterrupted use of the waterway. It will also keep saltwater from encroaching on inland waterways.
"If you look at every proposal for coastal restoration, this is a key feature in utilizing the fresh water coming down from the Atchafalaya," said Jerome Zeringue, executive director of the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District.
The lock is part of Morganza-to-the-Gulf, the proposed $900 million hurricane-protection system that would protect Terrebonne and part of Lafourche from up to a Category 3 hurricane. Angelle said the hope is that the $40 million will help the levee district start work on the lock and levee simultaneously.
"Morganza is our line in the sand," said Tony Alford, Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District president.
"Getting this money to put in our
lock system is a small step, but its really gonna help us out."
Stevie Smith of T. Baker Smith Inc., a Houma engineering firm, said the next step will be to design the lock complex, a process that U.S. Army Corps officials estimate could take up to 18 months.
In the meantime, the Levee District is pushing to get preliminary preparation work done on the lock site to prepare for construction.
"Think of it this way," Smith said. "You dont start deciding the kind of light fixtures you want before youve even built the building."

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Former San Jose Sharks players Mike
Ricci and Bryan Marchment returned to the club Tuesday as
executives in the hockey operations department.
Ricci, a longtime San Jose fan favorite who ended his 16-year
NHL career with the Phoenix Coyotes last month, will be an adviser
to the hockey operations staff and general manager Doug Wilson.
Marchment, a veteran defenseman, will be a scout and a player
development executive.
"Both these guys epitomize what hockey players are all about,"
Wilson said in a phone interview. "Both of these guys make us a
better organization today. Nobody competed harder than these guys,
and when they speak, people listen. I think both of them will have
a huge impact in this organization."
Ricci, who moved his family back to San Jose this summer after
two seasons in Phoenix, also will assist the Sharks with marketing,
promotions and community relations. He spent 529 of his 1,099 NHL
games with San Jose, scoring 263 points in teal while becoming the
Shark Tank crowd's favorite player.
"I'm going to try a little bit of everything," said Ricci, who
played just seven games last year after offseason neck surgery.
"It's kind of as I was as a player. I want to do anything I can to
help my team win. It's a pretty broad thing that I'm going to be
doing, and hopefully I can do a bunch of things."
Ricci's wife and three children grew to love Silicon Valley
during his seven seasons with the Sharks, and they decided to make
it their full-time home.
"When I got traded to San Jose, my buddies all laughed," the
35-year-old Ontario native said. "They said, 'You're not much of a
California boy.' Now it's known as a hockey town. When players come
here, they know the building is going to be rocking."
Marchment will serve as a San Jose scout in the Toronto area. He
also will work with the Sharks' prospects at their top minor-league
affiliate in Worcester, Mass., and in Canadian major junior hockey.
Marchment played 926 NHL games with nine clubs, racking up 2,307
penalty minutes as one of the league's most intimidating hitters
and fighters. He played 334 games during parts of six seasons with
San Jose, fifth-most among defensemen in franchise history.

Because China has an export economy (circa Japan in the 70's to 2008) they want to keep their currency weak to keep their unemployment low and keep their economy inflated/"growing". We have lowered interest rates to weaken our currency to help banks and try increase employment. A race to the bottom. Japan has very few levers left to pull.

We hope you take an hour this week to enjoy the latest offering from Snag Films' USO Theater! Farther Than the Eye Can See is one of the top adventure films of all time – blind climber Eric Weihenmayer's renowned summit of Mt. Everest
<!– surphace start –>An intimate look inside one of the most successful Mount Everest expeditions ever. This award-winning film beautifully captures the emotion, humor and drama of blind climber Erik Weihenmayer's historic ascent as well as four other remarkable 'firsts' on Mount Everest.
"Though there were questions about the wisdom of the attempt before the team even left home, the clear and definitive success of the expedition proves what people working together, with a common vision, can accomplish. By rallying behind Erik, nineteen of twenty-one team members stood on the top. The oldest climber ever reached the summit along with his son, an American first. And finally, with the help of Sherpas, we were able to bring an HD camera along to capture historic moments with Erik and his team on the summit." - Michael Brown, Director

Alex Lowe
|This article may be written from a fan's point of view, rather than a neutral point of view. (May 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Alex Lowe
Alex Lowe on Annapurna III in 1996.
|Stewart Alexander Lowe

Frederick, Maryland, United States
|October 5, 1999
(aged 40)
Shishapangma, Tibet
|Mountaineer, Climber
Stewart Alexander "Alex" Lowe (December 24, 1958 – October 5, 1999) was an American mountaineer. He climbed several peaks in North America and Asia and was well-regarded by his peers. He died in an avalanche in Tibet. The Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation honors his legacy. Lowe's body was discovered on April 27, 2016 over 16 years after his death.[1]
In 1995, Lowe climbed an icicle in Hyalite Canyon near Bozeman, Montana. While climbing in the lead, Lowe's section of ice snapped free. He fell 40 feet (12 m) and sustained a severe cut to the head from his ice axe, which exposed part of his skull. Lowe later recalled what followed: "We ... kinda taped the scalp back into place, and put a hat on, and taped around the hat, and started skiing out. [We] kinda knew it was time to go to the ER. But we also knew it was going to be a long evening there, so we stopped down at the coffee shop and got lattes. It was great. My clothes were saturated with blood. We parked in the handicap spot in front of the coffee shop, marched right in, and then headed for the hospital."
On a climb up El Capitan in Yosemite, one of Lowe's climbing shoes was holed in the toe box. Instead of quitting, he completed the climb, friends later recalled, by wearing his shoe backward.
Rescue on Denali[edit]
In June 1995, Lowe helped the National Park Service rescue several Spanish climbers on 20,320-foot (6,190 m) Denali in Alaska. On 9 June the group had been trapped for four days at 19,200 feet (5,900 m). Before a rescue team could assemble, one of the climbers fell 4,200 feet (1,300 m) to his death from the mountain's Upper West Rib. The surviving climbers were all suffering from hypothermia. Lowe and two fellow climbers were immediately lifted by military helicopter to a plateau above the Spaniards, scaled down a 400-vertical foot, 50-degree slope of ice and rock, to reach them and determined that one needed immediate evacuation. Amid snowy conditions, he at first dragged, then carried him on his back up the steep slope at high altitude, in an incident that was photographically documented and can be seen at the 4:23 point in this video.[2] Observing the dramatic rescue in adverse conditions, a Park ranger commented "[Lowe] literally, single-handedly, saved several people. He picked one guy up who had frozen hands and feet and couldn't move and was literally inches from death."[3]
Shishapangma accident[edit]
In September 1999, Lowe, Conrad Anker and David Bridges (a two-time US national paragliding champion) traveled to the 26,291-foot (8,013 m) Himalayan giant Shishapangma, the fourteenth highest peak in the world, as part of the 1999 American Shishapangma Ski Expedition. Plans called for the elite trio to become the first Americans to ski down from the summit of an 8,000-meter peak, in this case via the Swiss-Polish route on the South Face. Bridges was part of a three-man film team that was to shoot an NBC documentary of the expedition for The North Face.
During the roughly three-week trek to base camp, the group chronicled their deeds through photographic and written essays at MountainZone.com. On October 5, they split into two teams as they searched for a route up the mountain. Lowe's group (Lowe, Anker and Bridges) were crossing a flat glacier when a large serac broke loose 6,000 feet (1,800 m) above and tumbled downhill. Lowe's team at first thought the slide posed no threat, and took photographs of it,[citation needed] before realising that it was headed straight at them. Lowe yelled a warning to his team, all of whom ran. According to Anker, Lowe and Bridges may have attempted to escape by diving into a crevasse. Regardless, the 500-foot (150 m)-wide avalanche swept over the three men. Anker was thrown a reported 100 feet (30 m) by the windblast, and suffered a lacerated head, two broken ribs, and dislocated shoulder, but emerged from the snow, and led a rescue attempt that spanned a reported 20 hours in a large debris field measuring up to 20 feet (6.1 m) deep. Neither Lowe nor Bridges were wearing a distress radiobeacon, which might have helped rescuers pinpoint their bodies.
Neither body was found until 27 April 2016, when two alpinists from Switzerland and Germany, Ueli Steck and David Göttler, came across the remains of two climbers still encased in blue ice but beginning to emerge from the glacier.[4]
Prior to his death, Lowe commented on his upcoming Shishapangma climb to MountainZone.com:
"It's been a passionate goal of mine to ski off an 8,000 meter peak. I guess there's a lot of people sort of looking to do this and try to ski off Everest. But for me, it's got to be an aesthetic and quality run. And Shishapangma has the best ski line of any of the 8,000 meter peaks. It's just an absolutely straight shot right down the Southwest Face. That's going to be a good one." [5]
In 2008, the Mountaineers Books published a memoir, Forget Me Not by Jennifer Lowe-Anker that recounts life shared with Lowe, his death and the life she continued with Anker. Forget Me Not won the National Outdoor Book award for literature in 2008. [6]
Climbing achievements and recognition[edit]
In 1995, Lowe received the American Alpine Club's Underhill Award for outstanding mountaineering achievement, the highest honor in U.S. mountaineering. He climbed for nearly 10 years with The North Face professional climbing team, which included in the later years mountaineer Jon Krakauer, author of the bestseller Into Thin Air. After Lowe's death, Outside Magazine posthumously declared him "the world's best climber," adding, "No matter how jaw-dropping his routes, Lowe's real genius grew out of the way he combined physical accomplishments with an indomitable spirit."
Alex Lowe Peak[edit]
Formerly known by its elevation as Peak 10,031, Alex Lowe Peak, south of Bozeman, Montana in the Gallatin National Forest was officially named after him in September 2005.[7][8] In spring of 1997 Alex Lowe climbed the northern couloir with friend Hans Saari. Upon reaching the summit the two made a first ski-descent down what they named "Hellmouth Couloir."
Lowe was critically praised for his mountaineering skills by his peers. Dave Hahn once remarked, "There's Alex Lowe up here, and then there's the rest of us down here. The guy's just really that much better than everybody else." In its obituary on Lowe, the New York Times quoted Conrad Anker as saying, "We're all at this one level, and then there's Alex." Lowe's obituary continued, "He was widely admired for excelling in every aspect of mountaineering, from rock- and ice-climbing to ski descents." Lowe himself rejected such descriptions, and said "The best climber in the world is the one having the most fun!"[9]
Lowe improved his upper body strength as a result of an exercise regimen that included 400 chin-ups and hundreds of dips. In an article for Active Lifestyle, Gordon Wiltsie, a photographer who climbed with Lowe in Antarctica and Canada's Baffin Island, said, "he'd hog the pull-up bar to knock out 400 pull-ups in sets of 40 and 45. He disliked downtime and knew where to do pull-ups in many airports. Even on expeditions, when rest is hard to come by and much appreciated, Lowe was an oddball. He'd cop pull-ups on a ship's rigging en route to Antarctica, or do dips in a snow pit he dug at base camp." In that article, Wiltsie said, "At Baffin Island, after hauling supplies to a high point on a climb, we went back to camp beat and tired, but Alex proceeded to do pull-up after pull-up. He even brought an exercise device on climbs." He was known jokingly as "Lungs With Legs" for his incredible strength and stamina.[10]

Persuading 'Young Invincibles' To Buy Obamacare Insurance
The campaign switched gears. The Red Sox still provided the platform but the messages came instead from young people who'd suffered serious illnesses or crashes and others who were able to find affordable coverage on the state's new marketplace. TV ads featured a young woman sitting in a green stadium seat at Fenway talking about her life following a breast cancer diagnosis.
Minnesota officials have been talking with its pro teams, including the Twins, Timberwolves, Vikings and the Lynx to encourage residents to sign up for coverage, borrowing a page from the Massachusetts playbook.
And, just yesterday, MNsure announced that Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox will be the faces of the exchange.
The state is contracting with BBDO Proximity Minneapolis for the website's roughly $9 million marketing campaign. At the campaign's launch Sunday, BBDO creative director Brian Kroening said he wanted the advertising to be easy to understand, local, and upbeat.
"Because this is in fact great news for those that are uninsured. We liked Paul and Babe because everybody seems to recognize them. They were easy to work with. We were looking for what was unique to Minnesota," Kroening said.
Billboards with Bunyan and Babe's images are going up, along with MNsure advertising on buses and in skyways and newspapers. The campaign's motto will be "The Land of 10,000 Reasons to get Health Insurance."
Meanwhile, Robert Bauer may get health coverage after all. Starting next week, he'll be attending graduate school at Virginia Tech to study plant and soil science where, he says, insurance will cost him $200 a year in out of pocket costs. That's only about $100 more than the penalty he would have to pay if he chose not to get insurance.
MPR reporter Rupa Shenoy contributed to this story, which is part of a collaboration that includes Kaiser Health News, NPR, and MPR News.

"The Dark of the Forest" at comiXology!
It all started out so innocently.
Seven friends set out on a birdwatching weekend in the middle of the Navarre forest. Little did they know that while they were watching the birds, something else was watching them. Something that wasn't human. Something very protective of the forest, and willing to kill anyone that gets in its way.
Something hungry.
Freaktown Comics brings you a desperate tale of survival, humans united against a mysterious and deadly predator in a bloody battle to the death.

Economic and Market Update - Week Ending 21st March
Hexagon Capital Management is a privately held wealth management company that manages hundreds of client assets in a wide range of products.
This week has seen positive data out of the United States, Crimean citizens vote to repatriate themselves back with Russia, MH370, a Malaysian Airlines plane still missing for almost 2 weeks, finally may have been located almost 2,500km off the coast of Perth. The news out of both China and Japan confirming their economies are not growing as steadily as predicted and in fact are cause for concern, positive news out of the Bank of England with regards to its restructuring and the announcement of possibly the largest IPO for 2014 in the listing of Alibaba.
Despite all of this the markets have remained relatively level with very little in the way of gains across the indexes. As each days has started Asia has led the way with negative responses to data out of China and Japan seeing the major indexes closing roughly 1.5% down for the week:
Nikkei 225 at 14,224.37 (-1.65%) Hang Seng at 21,241.13 (+0.28%)
SSE Comp at 1,993.47 (-1.40%)
As the United States and Europe consider further sanctions against Russia European and US indexes are expected to continue they way they have over the past few weeks. With very few European indices staying in positive territory it is in no doubt related directly to the crisis and what possible outcomes could happen should the West impose further penalties for Russia's indiscretion and the retaliation they might face. Concerns over energy supplies have been voiced and the exposure of Europe to Russian business is now being fully expressed. Sanctions may be the official route to a resolution however their effectiveness is already being called into question.
European and US Indexes need to show an improvement and there is optimism that Friday should be a good day. Considering their closes as of Thursday, there is room for improvement:
FTSE 100 Closed at 6542.44 (-0.47%) Dax Closed at 9296.12 (+0.21%)
CAC 40 Closed at 4327.92 (+0.44%) Dow Jones Closed at 16331.05 (+0.64%)
NASDAQ Closed at 4319.29 (+0.27%)
Technology Sector - Major News Weekending 21st march
The technology sector has been awash with news this week. Ranging from updates on acquisitions to announcements of major IPO's. Here is a brief rundown on what made the headlines:
It didnt take long for regulators to have complaints over the proposed purchase by Facebook Inc. (FB) of the mobile messaging service WhatsApp. At least one complaint was filed with the SEC regarding the privacy of WhatApps client data and what FB planned on doing with it. The reported $19bn deal looks set to continue as both Zuckerburg and his counterpart confirmed that the current users had nothing to fear and that the service would continue in the same vein.
MtGox, the Bitcoin exchange that lost 850,000 bitcoins found 200,000 in an old wallet from 2011. The find, equivalent to $116m has now been moved to an offline account. The company that filed for bankruptcy after losing almost 7% of the entire supply of the digital currency is still investigating how and where the bitcoins have been moved.
Twitter is facing another issue as another government looks to block its service. Turkish PM Erdogan threatened to wipe out the site as news of possible images and documents were reportedly about to be released ahead of coming elections. With over 10m Twitter users in Turkey the documents outlined corruption within the politicians inner circle and after there was no response from Twitter regarding the Turkish governments request to remove the offending material they forced the national ISP to close the site down.
After confirming reports of its proposed IPO in the US, Alibaba continued to stoke up the hype of its listing with the announcement it plans to purchase mobile messaging company Tango. The $280m deal will see the E-commerce companies first foray into the mobile sector and shows their intentions quite clearly. Valued at $140bn the Chinese giant is touted to be the largest IPO in 2014.

Laurence Angwin (born 7 October 1982) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is infamous for being sacked by his team, the Carlton Football Club after turning up to training having used recreational drugs.[1]
The grandson of former Hawthorn Peter Crimmins Medallist Andy Angwin,[2] Angwin was drafted by Adelaide Football Club at pick 7 in the first round of the 2000 AFL Draft. Angwin lasted only one season with Adelaide without playing a game at senior level. Battling injuries and emotional issues, he was delisted in 2001 and returned to Melbourne.[2]
After playing for Box Hill Hawks in 2002,[3] Angwin was drafted by Carlton at pick 17 in the 2003 Rookie draft[4] and he made his AFL debut in Round 14, 2003. By the end of the 2003 AFL season Angwin was considered a future star at Carlton.[5] However, continuing off-field problems, including charges being laid against him from stealing from team mate Karl Norman, meant he remained a controversial player.[1]
Early in the 2004 season, after Carlton's Round 2 win against Geelong, it was claimed that Angwin and Norman arrived at a Carlton training session under the influence of ecstasy.[1] While Norman admitted to taking the drug, Angwin denied it but a subsequent drug test proved positive and Angwin was sacked by Carlton.[6]
Angwin has now signed with the Wyndhamvale Falcons in the Western Region Football League's division two for the 2009 season.
As of 2013, it was reported that Angwin was playing for Ouyen United, along with former AFL players Damian Cupido, Relton Roberts and Kane Munro, in the Mallee Football League.[7]

I'm using HMVC and calling modules in a view. In some cases however, the modules appear before the Doctype! It seems to be caused by calling more than one module into a page but i have instances when i have done this without this happening.
i'm parsing the modules I want to display from the controller into the view like:
$data['modules'] = array(
$this->load->view('page', $data);
then in the view
foreach($modules as $module){ ?>
<?php echo modules::run(module); ?>
<?php }
these divs print fine, and remain where they are supposed to, but for some reason the module jumps before doctype. I've checked that all divs in the whole page are closed, for interfering code in the two modules etc but still at a loss
I've never come across this before, can anyone help? Thanks :)

How do I add new themes? I seem to be experiencing some diffulties. First what I did was downloaded the file and saved it to my computer, but it will not let me open it because it is a WinZip file which I do not have paid for. Once i uploaded it into the wp-content/themes directory it showed up on the main page as a "Broken file".
Also, how do I edit the theme editor. Is it aloud or no? If so please let me know how this is possible.

Is ADM expansion posture, by NOT ACQUIRING DISTRESS U.S. ETHANOL ASSETS,
- shortsighted
- conservative
- good management
- wise?
In the past years they were building their own plant at $2/gallon, why are they not buying now at $1/gallon?
People are not going to eat more, but they will use more fuel. IS ADM BEING AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH?
I think mdon is right that ADM needs not tip its hand yet. Steve Mills said distressed ethanol plants are potential acquisition targets. No hurry, the Verasun auction starts March 15.. and Verasun is not the only ethanol pure-play that will end up on the block.
If the cellulose to ethanol route can be proven economic/profitable, existing ethanol plants might have more value if converted. That is a big IF. I still like the more estabished part of adm to grow along with population and emerging middle class markets.
In todays economic climate there are likely going to be even better opportunities to make acquisitions in other areas. I think the adm management will make the best choices when it comes to growing the business. It all depends on what they see ethanol economics doing and the nations plan for ethanol fuel. I was happy to hear that adm is following the population growth and demand for the core business.
Guys in my coffee group bad mouth ethanol because of the argument that it drives up the cost of food and wouldn't be produced at all without government subsidies. I try to counter while it's not perfect in it's present form that the development of celulose or kelp technology (with ocean water in process) will eventually be an efficient method of producing fuel to replace our dependence on foreign oil but they still think it's a joke. Any good web sites or info I could use to counter their point?
Notice I receive two ratings (?) but no reponse regarding web site, etc. Guess I'll have to do my own research.
I think it was a smarter move to make the chocolate company its most recent acquistion. Given the troubled ethanol market and weak oil prices it might make sense to not grow that part of the business, although adm would have more insight as to how much the government wants to support ethanol. I see a major refinery bought up an ethanol plant recently. It might have more to do with a shift from mbte as an antiknock to ethanol and more enviroment friendly anti knock agent. Of course ethanol still extends gasoline inventory when its blended in.
ADM reps will be touring the verasun plants starting on monday feb 16.so maybe they might bid on a few plants.
I would be surprised if ADM does bid on more than maybe a couple of the logistically advantageous facilities. ADM's key to success with ethanol is the integration into their large wet mills. There they can take advantage of cogen facilities, etc. that a stand alone facility could not. Corn stream diversification is a huge advantage also by slip-streaming for ethanol from a much larger stream to other processes.
Why buy an asset for half as much that will return less than that.
Got to look at the big picture from a processing cost long term. Only other reason I would see for any purchases would be to demo the facility and use the equipment elsewhere.
"Only other reason I would see for any purchases would be to demo the facility and use the equipment elsewhere. "
At the last conference call someone asked a question about the usefulness of the dry milling ethanol plant equipment if you wanted to convert to wet milling. They answered that about the only equipment that could be used is the elevators.
Of course this could have been another mis-direction from the ADM Mgt.
Short sided? What do you think they are doing in South America in regards to sugar? In a few short years we will be seeing SA ethanol imported into the U.S because of reduction or elimination of import tariffs. The Verasun auction date is in March. Why would ADM show their cards this early if they were a bidder?
I think you better step back and take a good look at what is happening. If Verasun has 12 of it's 16 plants on "hot idle" who is supplying ethanol to the blenders?
Why buy what did not work of another company?
My bet is we see ADM bid on a couple of the plants.~md

Mandy Moore Concludes Rough Month with Fractured Ankle
Mandy Moore must be hoping for April showers ... of better luck.
The singer has seen better days than the last few weeks. For starters, Moore has admitted that she feels pressure to lose weight. Which is awfully sad because we love Mandy's curves and hope she doesn't try to emulate Nicole Richie any time soon.
