VIP: A conversation with Lillian Tsai, president, Tsai Communications |
| Print | |
Saturday, April 01, 2006 |
President, Tsai Communications, Portland President, Northwest China Council Vice president, Asian American Business Alliance "I AM VERY SERIOUS— about life and business. We Chinese work hard for success because it buys us things; it takes care of our parents and children. I came from nothing. I lived in a house on stilts in northern Borneo, but I had a beautiful, educated mother. She made sure we didn't look poor, and she expected me to be perfect. As the daughter of a Chinese mother and an Australian-born Chinese father growing up in Malaysia, I learned from a very early age how to work among many cultures. Westerners who go to China don't know the culture, so my job is to educate them to help them be successful. I also want to help Portland's Asian community be successful. It needs to be heard, we need to be at the table. I'm so firm in my commitments that I've been called a dragon lady, but Chinese culture says you do what you say you're going to do. I happen to have been born in the Year of the Dragon, so maybe it's fitting!" Photo by Lincoln Ross Barbour |

Andreessen Horowitz invests $15 million in website Rap Genius
- Tweet
- Share this
SAN FRANCISCO Oct 3 (Reuters) - Venture capitalist Ben Horowitz is famous for starting his blog posts with rap lyrics. Now, he will be putting his money into the mix.
His firm, Andreessen Horowitz, announced Wednesday a $15 million investment in Rap Genius, a website using crowdsourcing to dig into and explain arcane details of rap lyrics.
Think of Rap Genius as the Talmud, Horowitz said in a phone interview on Wednesday, referring to the Jewish text that interprets the Old Testament.
As an example, Horowitz cited a Lil Wayne lyric, "real G's move in silence like lasagna." Click on it, and Rap Genius explains the singer is referring to gangsters and the silent g in lasagna.
"If you don't get it, don't be ashamed," reads the Rap Genius note accompanying the line. "?uestlove from The Roots didn't either." Embedded in the note is a Tweet from the musician known as Questlove citing the lyric with the question #AmIGettinold?
The company is slowly spreading to other categories such as literature, political speeches, and science papers.
"We think the community will continue to expand beyond rap into all culture," wrote Horowitz's colleague, Marc Andreessen, in a blog post announcing the investment.
Horowitz first met Rap Genius's co-founders Mahbod Moghadam, Ilan Zechory, and Tom Lehman last year when he visited business mentoring program Y Combinator, which they were attending. The three met as undergraduates at Yale University.
It is not immediately clear how Rap Genius will make money; Horowitz called the company's business model "TBD" (or To Be Determined).
"If they succeed in the mission, and they end up annotating the Internet, there's a huge audience for that," Horowitz said. At that point, a path to revenue would emerge, he added.
Andreessen Horowitz, founded three years ago, announced in January it had raised a $1.5 billion fund, its third. It has invested in some of the country's hottest start-ups, including online bulletin board Pinterest and social-networking site Facebook.

1997 : he bought his first guitar and, at the same time, knot closer friendship with his old friend, Thomas, who, on his side, was enthusiastic about Iron Maiden and also learning to play the guitar. Both lived in the same district. So they decided to play together - followed the idea to create a band. This was realized in February 2000 : they met the drummer djp. So was born Kobalt.
They started the rehearsals but were missing a singer and a bass-player. So Thomas thought about his schoolfriend David who showed up to be a good singer. They composed several songs in djp's house in Tourcoing. In March 2000 Sylvain (bass-player), from the same highschool as Nath, joined the band. A few months later, David unfortunately had to left Kobalt.
This brought huge changes inside the band. During 18 months, many singers were auditioned without success. They used this time to compose several instrumental songs, including most of the first album's songs.
At the end of the year 2001 the band met Seb, a singer and keyboardist with whom the band could complete the missing vocal-lines. They gave some concerts together. Because of musical discrepancies, Seb finally decided to leave the band. A female singer (Ines) joined Kobalt in 2002 and the band was renamed AnachroniA. The vocal-lines have been refined and the band changed its style of music. Ines gave 3 concerts with AnachroniA but had to leave because of a lack of time and was replaced by a young singer called Alessia. A demo was recorded and many concerts were given. Not even a year later, she left AnachroniA (September 2003). After a few weeks of searching, AnachroniA met Amandine, a singer who very quickly convinced all the members with her voice and her ideas as well. At this time, AnachroniA met by chance Anthony, a talented piano and keyboard player.
So the line-up was finally complete! AnachroniA is now working to get known… To be continued…

7 eBook Price Points Defended
How much should an eBook cost? To give publishers and authors some guidance, we've collected spirited defenses of seven different eBook prices–choose the price that works best for your writing.
According to a new and unscientific poll, Nathan Bransford found that 51 percent of his readers thought eBooks should be priced between $5 and $9.99. What is your favorite price point?
$0.99 Novelist John Locke sold more than one million eBooks with this price point: "When I saw that highly successful authors were charging $9.99 for an e-book, I thought that if I can make a profit at 99 cents, I no longer have to prove I'm as good as them … Rather, they have to prove they are ten times better than me."
$1.99 Author J.A. Konrath wrote: "Some Kindle owners emailed me, asking if I could make my early, unpublished books available for them to read. I uploaded them using Amazon's Digital Text Platform and charged $1.99. Readers like low prices. And why wouldn't they? Two or three bucks is less than a cup of coffee."
$2.99: Publisher Jeff Rutherford explained: "I'm convinced that if you price eBooks at an impulse purchase price of $2.99, you easily make up in volume, and I think my sales have shown that."
$5.00 Author Andrew Shaffer defended the price point: "The $5 price (or $2.99, or whatever) is the mass market paperback equivalent ebook price. If the DRAGON TATTOO is $7 in mass market (or whatever), the e-book should be priced accordingly. There's still room for $9.99, $12.99, and even $14.99 e-books–just as there is room for $1 fast-food hamburgers and $25 steaks."
$6.99-$7.99 Author Jennifer Crusie wrote: "[I]f you're talking about trying new authors, or just looking for something new to read on the spur of the moment, I'm thinking that price point drops even lower, to $6.99, $7.99, mass market prices (which I'm still appalled by for mass market)."
$9.99: Open Road Integrated Media CEO Jane Friedman explained: "There is nothing wrong with the $9.99 price, if it works within the business model."
$12.99-$14.99 Macmillan CEO John Sargent wrote: "Generally e-book editions of hardcover new releases will be priced between $14.99 and $12.99; a few books will be priced higher and lower. This is a tremendous discount from the price of the printed hardcover books, which generally range from $28.00 to $24.00."

HAWTHORNE, Calif. (KABC) -- The Jefferson Awards recognize extraordinary people who volunteer and make their communities a better place.
This month's Jefferson Award winner is a coach who has made a huge difference in the lives of so many kids on and off the field.
In big, bold and gold letters, the title of "Coach" is stitched across the back of his jacket, but it's a word that only begins to describe Richard Flowers.
"The kids come to him with their problems, he's like their big brother, he's like a counselor, and a coach and he's a role model, which is very, very rare. And it's all wrapped up into one person," described Marvo Hider of Los Angeles Parks and Recreation.
Flowers volunteers his time coaching kids from 5 to 17 years of age. Some of the boys and girls come from low-income families and gang-ridden neighborhoods. Flowers has walked many of the toughest streets in L.A. recruiting kids to come play for his team.
"I'm trying to get them before the gangs get the kids, and get them to go to school before the gangs get them, and get them before the police officers get them, and get them before they go to jail or get killed. So, I want to get them before all that," said Flowers.
"To me, he's someone who personifies goodness, like pure goodness," described Kristin Norton, a parent.
Flowers has been volunteering as a coach for 14 years with L.A. County Parks and Recreation never paying a dime for his services. Flowers says that just getting the opportunity to make a difference in so many kids' lives is reward enough.
"I believe in just giving, and I don't receive nothing. God, the lord, will bless me in the future. That's why I believe I'll get blessed by helping kids," said Flowers.
"I observe the change, not just in terms of their abilities in the basketball court, but their whole sense of themselves, their confidence, their self-esteem and their ability to respect," said Norton.
Flowers is a former track athlete from Belize. He comes from a home with 18 children, and he sees each child he helps as an extension of his large family.
"I love to do something to make me feel so happy for myself. So, when I die, I know I'll go from this earth knowing I did something positive on this earth," said Flowers.

Stayed just one night whilst meeting friends and attending a meeting the next day. Met at reception and shown to our room. Very nice rooms, clean and modern. Free wi-fi is a bonus and the information folder was very useful. Slept well although I found the bed a bit hard.
Breakfast was more than adequate with a good choice and freshly cooked. Would reccommend it and stay again if in the area.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
An undercover video that showed California cows struggling to stand as they were prodded to slaughter by forklifts led to the largest meat recall in U.S. history. In Vermont, a video of veal calves skinned alive and tossed like sacks of potatoes ended with the plant's closure and criminal convictions.
Now in a pushback led by the meat and poultry industries, state legislators across the country are introducing laws making it harder for animal welfare advocates to investigate cruelty and food safety cases.
Some bills make it illegal to take photographs at a farming operation. Others make it a crime for someone such as an animal welfare advocate to lie on an application to get a job at a plant.
Bills pending in California, Nebraska and Tennessee require that anyone collecting evidence of abuse turn it over to law enforcement within 24 to 48 hours — which advocates say does not allow enough time to document illegal activity under federal humane handling and food safety laws.
"We believe that folks in the agriculture community and folks from some of the humane organizations share the same concerns about animal cruelty," said Mike Zimmerman, chief of staff for Assembly Member Jim Patterson, R-Fresno, whose bill was unveiled this week. "If there's abuse taking place, there is no sense in letting it continue so you can make a video."
Patterson's bill, sponsored by the California Cattlemen's Association, would make failing to turn over video of abuse to law enforcement within 48 hours an infraction punishable by a fine.
Critics say the bills are an effort to deny consumers the ability to know how their food is produced.
"The meat industry's mantra is always that these are isolated cases, but the purpose of these bills is to prevent any pattern of abuse from being documented," said Paul Shapiro, vice president of farm animal protection for the Humane Society of the United States, which conducted the California and Vermont investigations.
In Indiana, Arkansas and Pennsylvania it would be a crime to make videos at agricultural operations.
The goal of the proposed California law, industry representatives say, is to halt any abuses quickly and get video evidence to government regulators within two days, not to impede undercover investigations by animal welfare groups.
"The people doing this aren't cops so I wouldn't think it's their job to build a case. The goal for all of us is to reduce instances of animal abuse," said David Daley, a Cattlemen vice president and professor of agricultural science at California State University-Chico.
Formal opposition to the California bill comes from the ASPCA, the Teamsters, the HSUS and dozens of others. They say these attempts by the agriculture industry to stop investigations are a part of a nationwide agenda set by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative think tank backed by business interests.
ALEC has labeled those who interfere with animal operations "terrorists," though a spokesman said he wishes now that the organization had called its legislation the "Freedom to Farm Act" rather than the "Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act."
"At the end of the day it's about personal property rights or the individual right to privacy," said spokesman Bill Meierling. "You wouldn't want me coming into your home with a hidden camera."
Animal welfare advocates say all of the focus on secrecy is energy misspent.
"I wish the cattlemen actually wanted to stop cruelty, not the documenting of cruelty," said HSUS California director Jennifer Fearing. "One could think of a thousand ways for them to actually stop cruelty rather than waiting for people to make videos and turn them over."
Animal welfare advocates say law enforcement agencies do not have the time or inclination to work complex animal abuse and food safety cases, and that federal USDA inspectors in slaughter plants have turned a blind eye to abuse.
When a USDA inspector at the Vermont plant was heard in 2009 coaching a plant worker on how to avoid being shut down, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack weighed in, calling the conduct "inexcusable."
In reaction to concerns, the USDA has been working to improve enforcement of its humane handling regulations over the past two years, including establishing an ombudsman position that accepts reports of violations. Last year 24 new positions in the Food Safety Inspection Service were dedicated to humane handling, said a high-ranking food safety official not authorized to speak publicly.
That hasn't slowed investigations or the bills designed to stop them. The Arkansas bill goes further than the others and would prohibit anyone other than law enforcement from investigating animal cases.
Last year Iowa, a major egg-producing state, passed a bill making it illegal to deny being a member of an animal welfare organization on a farm job application. Utah passed one that outlaws photography.
Most of the sensational videos of abuse in recent years are shot by undercover operatives who surreptitiously apply and are hired by the meat processors for jobs within the facilities. One recorded last year by Compassion over Killing at Central Valley Meats in Hanford, Calif. showed a worker standing on a downed dairy cow's nostrils to suffocate it and others repeatedly shot in the head, prompting several fast-food hamburger to cancel contracts, at least temporarily.
Animal welfare groups say investigations take weeks because the operatives nose around only when they aren't performing the duties for which they were hired.
An HSUS investigator was in the Hallmark plant in Southern California for six weeks between October and November 2007, when the nonprofit turned over to the local district attorney evidence that included fraud in the federal school lunch program because animals too sick to walk were being slaughtered. In January 2008, HSUS released the video to force the DA to act. Two employees were convicted of cruelty charges.
Late last year, nine workers at a Wyoming pork processing facility were charged with animal cruelty after an HSUS video showed them kicking and tossing piglets and failing to euthanize a sow gravely injured by a worker while giving birth.

I remember the day my sister was born. I was four, and it was the 4th of July. We'd just moved and I was still on a mattress on the floor. I saw light shining in the doorway and a dress was hanging on the closet doorknob when I was awakened to go to the hospital. I don't remember anything else except being upset that I missed the parade and the fireworks that day. It was a long time before I forgave my kid sister for that. She had the nerve to believe, when she got bigger, that the parade/fireworks were held just for her.
Oh wait, just remembered something earlier. I was three and had the whooping cough or croup or some other crud. I won't share the gross details—let's just say it involves a hospital, syrup of ipecac, and not warning my parents they gave it to me.

Myth, it has been said, is the buried part of every story. On April 23rd, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot finally emerges into the light of day, having spent the last year interred in its own cluttered mythology: a hermetic studio gestation, with the inscrutable guidance of Chicago ex-pat/kindly wizard, Jim O'Rourke; internecine squabbles; conflict and resolution with American media behemoth AOL Time Warner; the release portentously slated for September 11th, but mysteriously delayed; the indecipherable short-wave radio prophecies; and, eventually, the hero's welcome, with the first stirrings of spring. It's all there: the miracle birth; the unlikely hero; the, um, benevolent mentor; the primordial menace; good over evil. Joseph Campbell would be pissing himself if he weren't dead.
The miraculous birth narrative of Wilco's fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, is already old hat: banished from straightedge AOL Time Warner imprint Reprise on the cosmically short-sighted judgment of label executives who deemed the album a "career-ender," Wilco streamed Yankee Hotel from its left-wing website to millions before signing with weirdo progressive AOL Time Warner imprint Nonesuch. Long is the way and hard that leads up from AOL Time Warner into the light, I guess.
But the unique circumstances of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot's long deliverance make for more than just pointless disc jockey chatter before spinning "Heavy Metal Drummer." The long delay and streaming audio conspired to ensure that everyone in the world has already heard Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in part, if not in its entirety. Vast digital pre-circulation, corporate controversy, and buzz like a beard of bees have rendered all reviews afterthoughts at best.
But myth is always an afterthought, and these days, the motif I like chewing on best is, without question, that of the Unlikely Hero. Who would have predicted an album of this magnitude from Wilco? As much I love the band, the fact remains that they were together for five years before they produced anything that could stand with Uncle Tupelo's March 16-20, 1992 or Anodyne. AM is rather forgettable, while the expansive Being There, though frequently inspired, travels on paths blazed by Tom Petty on Damn the Torpedoes, if not The Flying Burrito Brothers.
1999's dolorous Summerteeth was exponentially more sophisticated than anything that came before it, though its heroin innuendoes, shades of domestic abuse and nocturnal homicidal impulses sat somewhat ill at ease alongside the album's lush and infectious pop arrangements. Of course, Summerteeth was a strange and majestic, albeit dark, deviation from the alt-country genre Jeff Tweedy co-invented. But since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, it has retroactively become more of a harbinger of things to come. Upon being pressed by the Chicago Sun-Times about abandoning alt-country, Tweedy dismissively bequeathed the old Wilco sound to Ryan Adams. And you can never go home again.
So does Yankee Hotel Foxtrot justify the controversy, delay and buzz? Everyone, I think, already knows that the answer is yes; all I can offer is "me too" and reiterate. And after half a year living with a bootleg copy, the music remains revelatory. Complex and dangerously catchy, lyrically sophisticated and provocative, noisy and somehow serene, Wilco's aging new album is simply a masterpiece; it is equally magnificent in headphones, cars and parties. And as anyone who's seen the mixed-bag crowd at Wilco shows knows, it will find a home in the collections of hippies, frat boys, acid-eating prep schoolers, and the record store apparatchiks of the indiocracy. No one is too good for this album; it is better than all of us.
But for all the talk of terminally hip influences-- Jim O'Rourke, krautrock, and The Conet Project-- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot still conjures a classic rock radio station on Fourth of July weekend. And this extends beyond the alternating Byrds/Stones/Beatles comparisons that pepper every Wilco review ever written; Yankee Hotel Foxtrot evokes Steely Dan, the Eagles, Wings, Derek & The Dominos and Traffic. The slightly disconnected, piano-led "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," is delicately laced with noise, whistles and percussive clutter, like some great grandson of "A Day in the Life." The muted, "Kamera" strums along darkly with acoustic and electric guitars; the twittering electronics in the background don't quite mitigate the tune's comparability to the clever and precise (though now largely neglected) jazz-inflected blues-rock of Dire Straits' stunning debut.
The cone-filtered and anthemic country psychedelia of "War on War" could have been jammed straight out of a hot "Bertha" at a 1973 Grateful Dead show. The violin and coked-up country lounge of "Jesus, etc." recalls some mythical seventies in true love and cigarettes. The sharp, stuttering guitar solo that rips open "I'm the Man Who Loves You" could have come directly out of Neil Young's hollow body electric circa Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. For all its aural depth and layering, Yankee Hotel tends to come off as earnest as yesteryear's FM radio. Wilco gets the benefit of O'Rourke's gift for cutting straight to the guts of every style, without the burden of his trademark contempt for the subject matter at hand.
And Tweedy seems to be coming into his own as a lyricist. I still wince when I hear him sing, "I know you don't talk much but you're such a good talker," on Being There. The brooding introspection of Summerteeth made for a handful of elegant lyrics, most notably the skeletal beauty of "She's a Jar," where "she begs me not to miss her" returns as the stinging "she begs me not to hit her," transforming a wistful love song into something gently bruising. But on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Tweedy becomes what I think he always was: an optimist and a romantic.
His declaration of wanting to salute "the ashes of American flags," is less cynicism than, perhaps, the devoted liberal's nostalgia for an honest patriotism (check out the array of properly lefty links at wilcoworld.com if you don't believe me). "All my lies are always wishes," he sings, "I know I would die if I could come back new." In "Jesus, etc.," there's a cascading simplicity when he sings, "Tall buildings shake, voices escape, singing sad, sad songs to two chords/ Strung down your cheeks, bitter melodies turning your orbit around." Sad, celestial and lovely. The final declaration on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is one of abiding dedication: "I've got reservations 'bout so many things but not about you." There isn't a truer word to be had.
On Summerteeth, Tweedy yowled about "speakers speaking in code" and I thought of that refrain from "I Can't Stand It" when I first heard the words "yankee-hotel-foxtrot" uttered by the disembodied English woman on the sublimely creepy box-set of shortwave radio transmissions, The Conet Project, which is sampled sporadically throughout this record. And in a deeper, more deliberate world, perhaps we could trace that thread to unravel the secret wonder of Wilco's new album. But I don't think there's any secret; and I don't think there's any code. Beneath the great story of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, there are all the tropes and symbols and coincidences of a little mythology; but under that is a fantastic rock record. And why tell you? You all already knew this.

Beer Plumbing from Saatchi and Saatchi Fulfills Alcoholic Fantasies
Funny prank, or the ultimate gift?
For Saatchi and Saatchi's latest campaign for DB Breweries, the agency pranked a friend named Russ by plumbing his house with beer.
Following their plumbing hack, every tap in the house flows with cold beer, fulfilling every alcoholic frat boy's wet dream. (It is unclear if the toilet is also tapped with beer.) They then set up cameras around the house to capture the reactions of their friend and his significant other. Russ is initially flummoxed by the brown liquid flowing through the tap (usually when that happens it's time to call a plumber); after smelling and then tasting the beer he delightedly pours himself a glass and decides, "That actually tastes really good." His wife/girlfriend, on the other hand, seems significantly less amused, presumably with concerns of when water will once again flow through the taps. The spot concludes with Russ climbing under his house, to find the kegs tapped to his plumbing. At this point the prank crew jumps out of hiding, and, predictably, everyone enjoys a good brew.
Since launch last week, the spot has gone viral on YouTube, with the full-length version (watch at your lunchtime leisure above) already racking up over three-million views. There's also a :90 version, with :60 and :15 TVCS to follow as well as social media support, billboards, etc., etc.
Should Saatchi wish to duplicate this experiment in the States, I would be more than happy to volunteer my apartment. Let's make this happen guys.

10 kinds of Marriage, and an exclusionary principle
This is a message to those who think an exclusionary definition of marriage based on your own personal presuppositions is a viable constitutional, legal, or philosophical argument.
You have a premise, that DOMA defines for federal purposes marriage as a man and a woman (this is not a universal definition, it just means that the only marriages it will recognise are monogomous heterosexual ones, it does not, and cannot state that marriage universally must be monogomous heterosexual because it does not have the power to change the universe).
However even if there were not 12 states and DC who have an non-exclusive legal definition of monogomous marriage, it would still be viable to challenge DOMA on the grounds that there is still no rational basis for the exclusionary heterosexual requirement, and given that there are 10 common forms of monogomous marriage in the 21st century.
- 1 man + 1 woman who are too old to have genetic offspring.
- 1 man + 1 woman who are infertile (and always have been).
- 1 man + 1 woman who choose not to have children
- 1 man + 1 woman who can and do have genetic children.
- 1 man + 1 man who cannot have genetic children.
- 1 man + 1 man who can, but do not have genetic children.
- 1 man + 1 man who can and do have genetic children.
- 1 woman + 1 woman who cannot have genetic children.
- 1 woman + 1 woman who can, but do not have genetic children.
- 1 woman + 1 woman who can, and do have genetic children.
If you want to apply an exclusionary principle, you have to give a rational basis for why the first 4 definitions get the rights, recognition and responsibilities of marriage, when the bottom 6 do not.
If its for reproduction, then the top 3 fail to make the cut, and 7 and 10 do make the cut.
If its for functionality, then what is measurably different between 1, 2 and 3, AND 5, 6, 8 and 9 ?
The only basis you have is your presupposition that may have been consensus in the past, but certainly is far from consensus in anthropology, psychology, philosophy, theology, sociology, and society, and that is not a rational basis argument for exclusion.
DOMA fails because it denies equal protection for all married couples, and is law, not amendment and so must go up against the 14th amendment which eviscerates it.
I realise I haven't talked about more complex relationship forms, I wanted to focus just on the issue at hand, of equality for monogamous couples…which isn't exactly my issue, but still something I consider vitally important.
A letter to religious people on the eternal struggle of good vs evil.
The battle is eternal, you are right about that, but its not the battle you think, you are not the protagonist in the most important cause in human history, you are just a lowly soldier marching to the beat of fear, of ignorance and hate.
Sometimes the darkness wins some battles, when everything good we've achieved is brought to ash, stories of that are woven through our mythology, the Flood, Babel, Atlantis, the Fall, Ragnarok, even Sodom and Gomorrah. Your storytellers have always tried to make it out that they are stories of punishment, of victory of good vs evil, but they can't hide what they really mean.
The stories are not about destruction and punishment, they are about change, death and rebirth, which is a very human concept.
When the first city fell, if your ideas had their way, we would have never thought about learning or progress again, but within a hundred years of each other Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley civilisations blossomed into life. Even when you destroyed Rome, less than 2000 years later, using a shoestring calculator and hydrogen/oxygen deathtrap this little fallen species visited another world.
There will always be the ignorant, the fearful, and sometimes they might find ways to bring us down. But for the next 1000 generations, anyone who can build a telescope and look up into the sky, will see a flag flying there, left by a people who took the forbidden fruit and went to the stars with it.

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/24/14 -- Tuscany International Drilling Inc. ("Tuscany" or the "Company") (TSX: TID)(COLOMBIA: TIDC) announces that it has entered into a forbearance agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") with its senior secured lenders ("Senior Lenders") under the third amended and restated credit agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") dated December 23, 2013.
Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Senior Lenders have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights or remedies in connection with certain existing events of default under the Credit Agreement, including realizing on their security granted in connection with the Credit Agreement, until the earlier of February 3, 2014, or the occurrence of an additional event of default within the meaning of the Forbearance Agreement (the "Forbearance Period").
Any breach of any covenant or representation or warranty in the Forbearance Agreement, or the occurrence of a further event of default under the Credit Agreement, will terminate the Forbearance Period.
Tuscany has been engaged in discussions with its Senior Lenders regarding a restructuring of the loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Tuscany believes that a significant majority of its Senior Lenders support this restructuring, which would include a Chapter 11 or 15 filing in a U.S. court under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and relief under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") accompanied by the extension of new funds from certain of the Senior Lenders pursuant to a new debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Facility").
Assuming the Company enters into such DIP Facility, the Company expects that its operations in Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador will not be affected and will continue to carry on business in the normal and ordinary course.
Continued listing of the common shares of Tuscany (the "Common Shares") on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") is subject to compliance with the applicable requirements of the TSX Company Manual. Under section 708 of the TSX Company Manual, if Tuscany files for relief under the CCAA and Chapter 11 or 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other creditor arrangement, bankruptcy or similar proceedings are instituted, the TSX may, in its discretion, immediately halt trading on the TSX of, and thereafter delist, the Common Shares.
About Tuscany

CORPUS CHRISTIE, Texas – Lynn Claire Lankford, 67, of Tahlequah, passed away on Aug. 1, 2013. Her family was by her side in Corpus Christi, Texas, as she passed on to be with the Lord.
She was born in Bronx, New York, in 1945, and lived in many areas throughout the United States. She fell in love with the warm weather and blue waters of Corpus Christi, Texas, but eventually chose to make Tahlequah, her home alongside her husband, Kenneth Joe Lankford.
Lynn was a very strong mother and professional accountant. During the 1980s, she chose to go to nursing school and graduated from Bacone College in Muskogee, with a nursing degree.
She worked as an registered nurse at Christus Spohn Hospitals in Corpus Christi, Texas and Tahlequah City Hospital in Tahlequah. She was a vital team member in the OR, CCICU and Recovery.
Lynn is survived by her four sons, Daniel Joseph Lankford, Peter Michael Desopo, Joseph Anthony Desopo and Santino Desopo. She also leaves behind their wives, six grandchildren, one great-grandchild, many close family members and friends.
It was Lynn's wish to waive any type of ceremony. Her desire was that no one should grieve her passing. Instead, she hoped that everyone would remember her with joy in their hearts and a kind word for anyone in the nursing community.
