Hornbeck Offshore Announces Expansion of OSV Newbuild Program #5, Commencement of 200 Class Retrofit Program, and Other Recent Developments
COVINGTON, La., Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (NYSE: HOS) announced today that it has expanded its OSV Newbuild Program #5 and has commenced a new 200 Class OSV Retrofit Program, among other recent developments. Following are highlights of this announcement:
- Exercises first four of 48 shipyard options for two additional 310 class OSVs and two additional 320 class OSVs
- Extends exercise dates for 44 remaining options by ~60 days each, while maintaining original pricing and delivery dates
- Next option exercises are not required until February 2013, providing additional time and greater flexibility
- Commences retrofit program to stretch and upgrade six 200 class DP-1 OSVs into 240 class DP-2 OSVs
- Updates net interest expense guidance to reflect GAAP accounting treatment for recent convertible bond financing
- Reports no vessel damage from Hurricane Isaac and no pre-storm cancellation of vessel charters by customers
Expansion of OSV Newbuild Program #5:
The Company has exercised the first four of its 48 options to build additional HOSMAX vessels at an aggregate incremental cost of approximately $180 million, excluding construction period interest, for vessel deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2015. These four new vessels will expand the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, which was announced in November 2011, from 16 vessels to a total of 20 U.S.-flagged HOSMAX class DP-2 new generation offshore supply vessels ("OSVs") for its Upstream business segment.
These 20 vessels are being built at two shipyards in the United States, which qualifies them for coastwise trade in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico ("GoM") under the Jones Act; however, the Company expects them to service the anticipated increase in deepwater and ultra-deepwater drilling activity in all three of the Company's core geographic markets of the GoM, Brazil and Mexico. The HOSMAX class DP-2 vessel designs contemplated by this newbuild program feature three different size vessels (300, 310 and 320 feet in length) each with cargo-carrying capacities ranging from 5,650 to 6,200 deadweight tons and more than 20,000 barrels of liquid mud. The Company considers the option vessel pricing to compare favorably with all other recently announced newbuild programs for vessels of similar size and specifications.
In connection with exercising the first four shipyard options under this high-spec OSV newbuild program, the Company was able to extend the exercise dates for its 44 remaining options by approximately 60 days each without changing the favorable pricing and original delivery dates. Accordingly, the Company's decision with respect to the exercise of the next option at each of the two shipyards is now not due until February 1, 2013 and February 19, 2013, respectively. These exercise date extensions afford the Company more time to assess market conditions before determining whether and to what extent to exercise additional options. In addition to the 20 newbuild vessels already committed that are scheduled to be placed in service on various dates between the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2015, the delivery dates for the remaining 44 vessels, if such options are exercised, will be approximately 24 to 26 months following the date of each respective option exercise, with the last potential newbuild vessel under this program (the 48(th) optional and 64(th) overall) to be delivered in January 2018. The Company currently intends to exercise all of its remaining 44 options to build additional HOSMAX class vessels should future market conditions, the pace of permitting in the GoM and its company-wide fleet complement continue to warrant their construction, providing the Company a very attractive, strategic five-year organic growth opportunity.
The Company expects the aggregate cost of the first 20 vessels committed under this potential 64-vessel construction program, including the four option vessels announced today, to be approximately $900 million, excluding construction period interest. At June 30, 2012, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $392 million and added net cash proceeds of approximately $266 million to the balance sheet from its 1.500% convertible notes offering, which closed on August 13, 2012. Together with cash on-hand and available capacity under its currently undrawn $300 million revolving credit facility, and based on the key assumptions outlined in the Company's August 3, 2012 earnings release, the Company expects to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to cover all of its growth capital expenditures for the first 20 HOSMAX vessels under construction, all of the capital costs related to its new six-vessel 200 class OSV retrofit program discussed below, the planned retirement of its 1.625% convertible notes in November 2013, and all of its annually recurring cash debt service, maintenance capital expenditures and cash income taxes for the remainder of fiscal 2012 and for the full duration of the currently committed 20-vessel HOSMAX newbuild program.
In summary, the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program now consists of vessel construction contracts with two domestic shipyards to build four HOSMAX 300 class OSVs, six HOSMAX 310 class OSVs (up two from the previously announced four), and ten HOSMAX 320 class OSVs (up two from the previously announced eight). Including the exercises announced today of the first four of 48 optional vessels, the 20 HOSMAX class DP-2 OSVs now committed under this newbuild program are expected to be delivered in accordance with the schedule shown in the table below:
2Q2013 3Q2013 4Q2013 1Q2014 2Q2014 3Q2014 4Q2014 1Q2015 Total ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ----- Estimated In-Service Dates: HOSMAX 300 class 1 1 1 1 - - - - 4 HOSMAX 310 class - - - 1 1 1 2 1 6 HOSMAX 320 class - - 2 2 3 1 1 1 10 --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- 1 1 3 4 4 2 3 2 20 === === === === === === === === ===
Based on the above schedule of projected vessel in-service dates, the Company expects to own and operate 51, 56, 69 and 71 new generation OSVs as of December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. These vessel additions result in a projected average new generation OSV fleet complement of 51.0, 52.2, 63.0 and 70.9 vessels for the fiscal years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The aggregate cost of the Company's fifth OSV newbuild program, excluding construction period interest, is expected as noted above to be approximately $900.0 million, of which $242.2 million, $429.8 million, $178.5 million and $6.9 million is expected to be incurred in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. From the inception of this program through June 30, 2012, the Company had incurred $120.4 million, or 13.4%, of total expected project costs, including $41.0 million that was spent during the second quarter of 2012.
Commencement of 200 Class OSV Retrofit Program:
In addition to the expansion of its HOSMAX newbuild program, the Company has decided to move forward on a new retrofit program that will upgrade and stretch six of its 200 class DP-1 new generation OSVs converting them into 240 class DP-2 OSVs. The vessels the Company has committed to this program are six of its ten Super 200 class DP-1 vessels, four of which are the vessels that recently completed two-year charters with Petrobras in Brazil. These new generation OSVs were built in 1999 and 2000 and were acquired by the Company in 2007. Due to their 56-foot wide beams, the planned 40-foot mid-body extensions and DP-upgrades are expected to add approximately 600 tons to the vessels' 2,250 tons of current deadweight capacity and roughly double the vessels' current liquid-mud capacity to approximately 8,000 barrels. The Company is now in the process of finalizing negotiations with a domestic shipyard it has selected and expects to enter into a definitive contract in the very near future. Based on preliminary estimates, the Company expects the yard to complete two of the six vessels in each of the following redelivery months: May 2013, August 2013 and December 2013, respectively.
The project costs for these discretionary vessel modifications are expected to be approximately $50.0 million, in the aggregate, and the Company expects to incur approximately 762 vessel-days of aggregate commercial downtime for the six vessels (127 vessel-days each), as follows:
3Q2012 4Q2012 1Q2013 2Q2013 3Q2013 4Q2013 Total ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ----- 200 Class OSV Retrofit Program: Estimated cash outlays (in millions) $2.3 $5.7 $6.3 $12.6 $13.3 $9.8 $50.0 Estimated commercial downtime (in days) - 12 180 202 200 168 762
Other than a modest amount of cash outlays and commercial downtime in the third and fourth quarters of 2012, this retrofit program is not expected to materially impact the Company's financial results for fiscal 2012. However, upon completion of this program in 2013, the Company expects the newly retrofitted 240 class DP-2 vessels to command higher dayrates, higher margins and higher returns-on-invested-capital than they would have as 200 class DP-1 vessels, such that the Company anticipates a cash-on-cash pay-back of its additional capital investment within approximately 2.5 years. Given the market's preference for high-spec DP-2 vessels and the Company's relatively low pro forma net book value for its retrofitted vessels compared to the construction costs of comparable newbuilds in the market today, the Company should be even more competitive in meeting customers' demand for high-spec vessels at very attractive relative economics.
Prospectively, the Company will report the projected cash outlays for its 200 Class OSV Retrofit Program under the caption "Maintenance and Other Capital Expenditures," rather than "Growth Capital Expenditures." Accordingly, the following figures will update and supersede the forward-looking guidance the Company provided in its earnings release on August 3, 2012. The Company now expects maintenance capital expenditures and other capital expenditures to be approximately $58.2 million and $17.4 million, respectively, for the full-year 2012. The Company now expects maintenance capital expenditures and other capital expenditures to be approximately $39.2 million and $50.0 million, respectively, for fiscal 2013, with the cash outlays relating to the 200 Class OSV Retrofit Program included in the latter category. For fiscal 2014, the Company expects that its annually recurring maintenance capital expenditure and other capital expenditure budget, in the aggregate, for its company-wide fleet of vessels will range between $45.0 million and $55.0 million.
GAAP Treatment of Recently Issued 1.500% Convertible Notes:
In accordance with ASC 470-20, convertible debt that may be wholly or partially settled in cash is required to be separated into a liability and an equity component, such that interest expense reflects the issuer's nonconvertible debt interest rate. Upon issuance, a non-cash original issue discount ("OID") is recognized as a decrease in debt and an increase in equity. The debt component accretes up to the principal amount over the expected term of the debt. ASC 470-20 does not affect the actual aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes that the Company is required to repay, nor does it impact the actual amount of cash coupon that the Company is required to pay with respect to the convertible notes.
On August 13, 2012, the Company closed on the issuance of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.500% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the "1.500% convertible notes"). The Company's estimated nonconvertible debt interest rate on such date was 5.75%, based on indicative market quotes for the Company's publicly traded 5.875% senior notes due 2020. Therefore, as of the date of issuance of the 1.500% convertible notes and in accordance with the GAAP treatment described above, the Company recognized $73.3 million of non-cash OID, which decreased the book carrying value of the 1.500% convertible notes and increased the Company's additional paid-in-capital equity account by a like amount. Such non-cash OID will be amortized through interest expense over the seven-year life of the 1.500% convertible notes. Accordingly, while the incremental annual run-rate of cash interest expense for the 1.500% convertible notes will be a constant $4.5 million, the gross book interest expense for such notes for financial reporting purposes will vary from year-to-year. The initial annual run-rate of GAAP interest expense for such notes is expected to be approximately $13.3 million. However, GAAP interest expense is expected to fluctuate based on the levels of capitalized construction period interest.
Due to changes in the timing of certain cash interest payment dates associated with the Company's recent retirement of its 6.125% senior notes in March and April 2012, the issuance of its 5.875% senior notes in March 2012, and the issuance of its 1.500% convertible notes in August 2012, aggregate annual cash debt service for the full fiscal-year 2012 is expected to be $42.2 million. However, inclusive of the planned redemption of its 1.625% convertible notes in November 2013, the Company expects to incur aggregate annual cash debt service for the full fiscal-year 2013 in the amount of $52.3 million, excluding any cash interest expense related to potential revolver draws. Commencing with fiscal 2014 and beyond, the Company's aggregate annual run-rate of cash debt service should revert to $48.0 million, excluding any cash interest expense related to potential revolver draws.
The following table will update and supersede the forward-looking guidance provided by the Company on August 3, 2012 for the detailed components of net interest expense for the third and fourth quarters of 2012 and for the full fiscal-year 2012, and provides guidance for the detailed components of gross interest expense for fiscal years 2013 and 2014, respectively (in millions), excluding any cash interest expense related to potential revolver draws.
3Q2012 4Q2012 2012 2013 2014 ------ ------ ---- ---- ---- Interest expense, net: Interest expense $13.5 $14.2 $52.9 $56.5 $51.3 Non-cash OID interest expense 4.1 5.6 16.2 20.9 10.4 Capitalized interest (2.7) (4.2) (10.4) (33.0) (24.8) ---- ---- ----- ----- ----- 14.9 15.6 58.7 44.4 36.9 Interest income (0.6) (0.7) (2.4) n/a n/a ---- ---- ---- --------------- --------------- Total interest expense, net $14.3 $14.9 $56.3 n/a n/a ===== ===== ===== =============== ===============
Hurricane Isaac Update:
The Company experienced no damage to any of its vessels as a result of Hurricane Isaac, including those currently under construction or in drydock at various GoM shipyards, although such yards may claim force majeure delays that may have occurred as a result of the storm. In addition, Hurricane Isaac did not result in customer cancellations of any pre-storm spot or term vessel charters. The Company's new generation Upstream fleet continues to operate in-line with its pre-storm utilization guidance reported on August 3, 2012, which remains subject to, and primarily driven by, the pace of permitting in the GoM. No physical damage related to Hurricane Isaac occurred to the Company's corporate headquarters in Covington, LA, which remains fully operational with all electrical power, Internet connectivity and telecommunications service. In addition, HOS Port, the Company's logistics shore-base in Port Fourchon, LA, is fully operational.
ATP Reorganization Proceeding:
ATP Oil and Gas, Inc., a customer of the Company, initiated a reorganization proceeding under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on August 17, 2012. As of the date of the bankruptcy filing, ATP was indebted to the Company in the amount of approximately $4.8 million. While the Company believes that its claims are secured by liens arising under law, it is too early in the proceeding to assess ATP's plans and ability to repay the Company. ATP has indicated its plan is to reorganize and to that end has received post-petition financing. The Company will pursue all rights in the bankruptcy case in order to maximize its recovery.
Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. is a leading provider of technologically advanced, new generation offshore supply vessels primarily in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Latin America, and is a leading short-haul transporter of petroleum products through its coastwise fleet of ocean-going tugs and tank barges primarily in the northeastern U.S. and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Hornbeck Offshore currently owns a fleet of 80 vessels primarily serving the energy industry.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Press Release contains "forward-looking statements," as contemplated by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "remain," "should," or "will," or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Press Release for a variety of reasons. An oil spill or other significant incident in the United States or another offshore drilling region could have a broad impact on deepwater and other offshore energy exploration and production activities, such as the suspension of activities or significant regulatory responses. Future results may also be impacted by legislation or regulations implemented in response to the Deepwater Horizon event in the GoM, as well as the outcome of pending litigation brought by environmental groups challenging recent exploration plans approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Such legislation, regulations or litigation could further aggravate a number of other existing risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation: the Company's inability to successfully or timely complete the recently expanded OSV Newbuild Program #5 and 200 Class OSV Retrofit Program, which involve the construction, retrofit and integration of highly complex vessels and systems; the Company's inability to successfully finance or timely complete any additional option vessels exercised under the OSV Newbuild Program #5; less than anticipated success in marketing and operating the Company's MPSVs; bureaucratic, administrative or operating barriers that delay vessels chartered in foreign markets from going on-hire or result in contractual penalties imposed by foreign customers; renewed weakening of demand for the Company's services; unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels or to pay for committed charter hire; industry risks; reductions in capital spending budgets by customers; a material reduction of Petrobras' announced plans for exploration and production activities in Brazil; declines in oil and natural gas prices; increases in operating costs; the inability to accurately predict vessel utilization levels and dayrates; the inability to effectively compete in or operate in international markets; less than anticipated subsea infrastructure demand activity in the GoM and other markets; the level of fleet additions by competitors that could result in over capacity; economic and political risks weather related risks; the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; regulatory risks; the repeal or administrative weakening of the Jones Act, including any changes in the interpretation of the Jones Act related to the U.S. citizenship qualification; the imposition of laws or regulations that result in reduced exploration and production activities or that increase the Company's operating costs or operating requirements, including any such laws or regulations that may arise as a result of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico or the resulting drilling moratoria and regulatory reforms; drydocking delays and cost overruns and related risks; vessel accidents or pollution incidents resulting in lost revenue or expenses that are unrecoverable from insurance policies or other third parties; unexpected litigation and insurance expenses; fluctuations in foreign currency valuations compared to the U.S. dollar and risks associated with expanded foreign operations, such as non-compliance with or the unanticipated effect of tax laws, customs laws, immigration laws, or other legislation that result in higher than anticipated tax rates or other costs or the inability to repatriate foreign-sourced earnings and profits. In addition, the Company's future results may be impacted by adverse economic conditions, such as inflation, deflation, or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, that may negatively affect it or parties with whom it does business. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize in a way that negatively impacts the Company, or should the Company's underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Additional factors that you should consider are set forth in detail in the Risk Factors section of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as other filings the Company has made and will make with the Securities and Exchange Commission which, after their filings, can be found on the Company's website www.hornbeckoffshore.com.

I tried continuously from 5:00pm on the 28th to contact YODEL Customer Services. Most unhelpful, all they gave me were various numbers, all of which either cut-off or no response. When i finally got a contact, they assured me that the local depot would ring me today with an explanation. This did not happen, i eventually got through this morning. They could see no reason for the non-delivery, address checked out ok, same as supplied by Littlewoods. Unfortunately they do not have any drivers available to re-deliver today. This is not really acceptable, as the item in question was a Present that i was taking to friends for the New Year. Yodel will now deliver January 3rd. As i previously stated, having been a customer of Littlewoods for around 40 years, and having no issues with deliveries. The instigation of using Yodel is i feel going to put customers off from using your company in the future, i certainly will be looking elsewhere for further purchases. Having now received the parcel, YODEL driver told me that it wasn't even on the van first time round.
True to form, Printerland expedited the order, I received the inks in less than 24 hrs from placing the order.
Slightly more expensive than some web sites, but unbeatable on service.

They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet.

Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

These were just some pics of my nx150 out on a couple outings. In the pictures the suspension was converted from factory to whoopies slings from whoopieslings.com. But since then I decided to go to a cinch buckle suspension from ArrowHead Equipment mainly because I found it difficult for me to adjust the whoopie slings when I had any kind of weight in the hammock especially if it was somewhat cold. I hope to add underquilt later but for now I rely on a Big Agnes insulated 15 degree pad with Big Agnes lost ranger down 15 degree sleeping bag to keep me from sliding off the pad when in the hammock.
The tarp in the pics is the XL version, I would like to get the vertex later maybe or a larger tarp like the old man winter by wilderness logics or similar later on for the door options. I do hang this tarp over a ridgeline b/c it seems to hold better than just tying the ends to other anchor points and reduces sag overnight. |

Is there anything you don't like about your hammock? I'm kinda in love with the North America or the 250 but can't get over to price.

I guess the price would be the primary thing to swallow for anyone I do like my hammock, the only thing I really struggled with in buying it was whether it was going to be to small but with research against ppl similarly sized I chose to go for it. I am 6 foot and 180 and comfortable but would love the 250 for the room but I believe I would rather have the less weight and be fine with the 150.

In Canada Clark hammocks cost more than is even reasonable. Like ten times an eno. I don't think it will happen for a few years. Unless the lotto pays off!

You get what you pay for in a competitive market
Look at the price of the Warbonnet Blackbird. Now look at the price of WarbonnetGuy's new model, with the included and functionally similar weather-shield.
Now, add the cost of pockets / saddlebags, and correctly value the included tarp @ $100 -$130. Like Warbonnet products, made in the US. By all means: DIY can be a great way to get features at lower total cost. Another fine Hammock Forum.

Trail, nice pics and nice set-up! I picked up the Hennesy Explorer Deluxe as my first camping hammock to see if I would like it. Only been on one hang and yep, addicted! The NX-250 is a steep price but I can see why and plan to get one. Glad you like yours! I'm the 6'2 195-200 range and it's the extra length that points to the 250 for me. Looks like you had a blast and you had company out hanging as well. I've managed to have a few friends get used to flopping in my Eno DN in my living room (yes, a nice steel hammock stand works indoors, especially when laying back and playing Forza 4) and they are thinking how much more fun it might be to camp that way, too.
Glad to see another Clark in use! |

I cannot give that position a worse starting fielding value than an outfielder to a position that touches the ball the most besides the pitcher and catcher as well as saving a ton of errors by errand throws from other infielders. For example, I cannot give Matt Holliday a better fielding starting value (when calculating WAR) over Pujols when Pujols was playing with arguably one of the worst defensive 2B in the league a couple of years ago (Skip Schumaker) and Ryan Theriot at SS (horrible memories). WAR has it's uses but I don't think it's of great value when talking about what one could get in return for Votto. WAR simply does not tell the whole story.
I think if comparing WAR for the past 3 seasons they would be of similar value. I agree with the premise of Rick's post but in terms of comparing the 2 going forward I'm not too concerned with their 2007-2009 numbers.

Brodmann area
A Brodmann area is a region of the human cerebral cortex defined based on its cytoarchitectonics, or structure and organization of cells.
Brodmann areas were originally defined and numbered by the German anatomist Korbinian Brodmann based on the cytoarchitectural organization of neurons he observed in the cerebral cortex using the Nissl stain. Brodmann published his maps of cortical areas in humans, monkeys, and other species in 1909,[1] along with many other findings and observations regarding the general cell types and laminar organization of the mammalian cortex. (The same Brodmann area number in different species does not necessarily indicate homologous areas.[2]) A similar, but more detailed cortical map was published by Constantin von Economo and Georg N. Koskinas in 1925.[3]
Present importance[edit]
Brodmann areas have been discussed, debated, refined, and renamed exhaustively for nearly a century and remain the most widely known and frequently cited cytoarchitectural organization of the human cortex.
Many of the areas Brodmann defined based solely on their neuronal organization have since been correlated closely to diverse cortical functions. For example, Brodmann areas 1, 2 and 3 are the primary somatosensory cortex; area 4 is the primary motor cortex; area 17 is the primary visual cortex; and areas 41 and 42 correspond closely to primary auditory cortex. Higher order functions of the association cortical areas are also consistently localized to the same Brodmann areas by neurophysiological, functional imaging, and other methods (e.g., the consistent localization of Broca's speech and language area to the left Brodmann areas 44 and 45). However, functional imaging can only identify the approximate localization of brain activations in terms of Brodmann areas since their actual boundaries in any individual brain requires its histological examination.
Brodmann areas for human & non-human primates[edit]
- Areas 3, 1 & 2 – Primary Somatosensory Cortex (frequently referred to as Areas 3, 1, 2 by convention)
- Area 4 – Primary Motor Cortex
- Area 5 – Somatosensory Association Cortex
- Area 6 – Premotor cortex and Supplementary Motor Cortex (Secondary Motor Cortex)(Supplementary motor area)
- Area 7 – Somatosensory Association Cortex
- Area 8 – Includes Frontal eye fields
- Area 9 – Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
- Area 10 – Anterior prefrontal cortex (most rostral part of superior and middle frontal gyri)
- Area 11 – Orbitofrontal area (orbital and rectus gyri, plus part of the rostral part of the superior frontal gyrus)
- Area 12 – Orbitofrontal area (used to be part of BA11, refers to the area between the superior frontal gyrus and the inferior rostral sulcus)
- Area 13 and Area 14* – Insular cortex
- Area 15* – Anterior Temporal Lobe
- Area 16 – Insular cortex
- Area 17 – Primary visual cortex (V1)
- Area 18 – Secondary visual cortex (V2)
- Area 19 – Associative visual cortex (V3,V4,V5)
- Area 20 – Inferior temporal gyrus
- Area 21 – Middle temporal gyrus
- Area 22 – Superior temporal gyrus, of which the caudal part is usually considered to contain the Wernicke's area
- Area 23 – Ventral posterior cingulate cortex
- Area 24 – Ventral anterior cingulate cortex.
- Area 25 – Subgenual area (part of the Ventromedial prefrontal cortex)[4]
- Area 26 – Ectosplenial portion of the retrosplenial region of the cerebral cortex
- Area 27 – Piriform cortex
- Area 28 – Ventral entorhinal cortex
- Area 29 – Retrosplenial cingulate cortex
- Area 30 – Part of cingulate cortex
- Area 31 – Dorsal Posterior cingulate cortex
- Area 32 – Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex
- Area 33 – Part of anterior cingulate cortex
- Area 34 – Dorsal entorhinal cortex (on the Parahippocampal gyrus)
- Area 35 – Perirhinal cortex (in the rhinal sulcus)
- Area 36 – Ectorhinal area, now part of the perirhinal cortex (in the rhinal sulcus)
- Area 37 – Fusiform gyrus
- Area 38 – Temporopolar area (most rostral part of the superior and middle temporal gyri)
- Area 39 – Angular gyrus, considered by some to be part of Wernicke's area
- Area 40 – Supramarginal gyrus considered by some to be part of Wernicke's area
- Areas 41 and 42 – Auditory cortex
- Area 43 – Primary gustatory cortex
- Area 44 – Pars opercularis, part of the inferior frontal gyrus and part of Broca's area
- Area 45 – Pars triangularis, part of the inferior frontal gyrus and part of Broca's area
- Area 46 – Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
- Area 47 – Pars orbitalis, part of the inferior frontal gyrus
- Area 48 – Retrosubicular area (a small part of the medial surface of the temporal lobe)
- Area 49 – Parasubicular area in a rodent
- Area 52 – Parainsular area (at the junction of the temporal lobe and the insula)
(*) Area only found in non-human primates.
Some of the original Brodmann areas have been subdivided further, e.g., "23a" and "23b".[5]

Clickable map: medial surface[edit]
When von Bonin and Bailey constructed a brain map for the macaque monkey they found the description of Brodmann inadequate and wrote: "Brodmann (1907), it is true, prepared a map of the human brain which has been widely reproduced, but, unfortunately, the data on which it was based was never published"[6] They instead used the cytoarchitechtonic scheme of Constantin von Economo and Georg N. Koskinas published in 1925[7] which had the "only acceptable detailed description of the human cortex".

I go legs down for higher temps like pizza or when I'm going to bake something (cakes, cookies, pies, bread)
Of coarse, I blew my gasket along time ago. Eventually you will too no matter what you do.
+1, could not have said it better.tyenic1 said:As a general rule of thumb anything your smoking low and slow you go legs up. Anything your baking legs down and as far as very high temp cooks like pizza you will probably get a 50/50 response, I still go legs down with pizza and my gasket is still going strong. This is strictly my opinion and sure you will get some more responses. Hope it helps.

Watch the Consecration Service of Kelly Jensen. Happy New Year! A Message from Pastor Paul: Brothers and Sisters in Christ, At our December Council meeting the boards of Deacons, Youth & Education, and Social Ministries brought to the council a request that the council submit to you, the congregation, for consideration and action at our January 26 Annual Meeting, the following resolution: … that the position of Minister of Christian Education and Mission be increased from 1.0 (Full Time Equivalent) to 1.5 (Full Time Equivalent) with increased emphasis in Diaconal Ministry. After some significant discussion and explanation, the council unanimously approved the resolution with the understanding that we need to bring you up to speed with regard to all the exciting progress OSLC's ministry is experiencing. On Sunday, January 31, 2010, OSLC held its 112th annual meeting. Our Coordinator of Christian Education, Kim Suhr, shared that she recently graduated from seminary with a Master's in Children and Family and that she was working to meet certain standards in order to be listed as a "Rostered Leader" in the ELCA as a Diaconal Minister. Not being sure where this "being rostered" would lead, we asked the question, "If OSLC were to call a Diaconal Minister, what would that mean?" ANSWER: A number of things from previous visioning discussions could be addressed, including ministries to the community, family, children concerns; social ministry area concerns; serving with Deacons; worship leadership; other areas. That discussion was the impetus of a conversation and process that led us to establish our purpose statement, "Together we live God's Word and follow Christ's example," as well as its attending guiding principles: Jesus is our Lord and Savior; God's Word is our foundation; We celebrate grace; We live our faith daily; We are called to use our gifts…to serve others; and Everyone is a valued child of God. It also led us to discern that calling a rostered lay leader was what we should do. On Sunday, December 12, 2010, at a specially called meeting, the congregation voted unanimously that we begin the search that culminated in the calling of Kelly Jensen to be our Minister of Christian Education and Mission. She started on July 14, 2011. Since that day, this position has begun to mould us diaconally into a mission outpost that cultivates, facilitates, and accompanies disciples as we improve and grow our ministries to the community and to families; as we address children's concerns and social ministry concerns; and as we find new ways to cultivate a healthy spirituality. In other words, diaconal ministry has been helping enable us to effectively fulfill our purpose of service in the world as we seek to exemplify the servant life and seek to equip and motivate others to live it. And we have been succeeding! Someone recently asked Kelly Jensen how she has been dividing her responsibilities between the ministries overseen by the three boards with whom she works. She said that 60% of her time relates to the Board of Youth and Education, 30% relates to the Board of Deacons, and 30% relates to Social Ministry. "Wait, that adds up to 120%!" they responded. She smiled and said, "Uh huh." With Kelly's assistance we have seen our areas of social concerns grow: We have resurrected CROP Walk. We were at the table with the creation of the Chippewa Falls Mission Coalition. We are involved in visioning a community services center that would house a wide variety of services for the needy in one convenient location. We have see more involvement in volunteerism through organizations like Food for Kidz, Feed My People, The Open Door Clinic, and others. With Kelly's assistance we have seen our Board of Deacons empowered to establish and coordinate small group ministries. They have become more involved in connecting with our shut-ins and prospective new members. They continue to look for more effective ways to build authentic relationships and create a lasting and cohesive community. With Kelly's assistance we have seen the Board of Youth and Education maintain the quality of its ministries. This is an accomplishment in itself when we consider that they previously had a staff member all to themselves. But simple maintenance doesn't effectively capture the fact that there are exciting things happening here as well. There is a palpable diaconal sensibility coming from our educational programming. Maybe it is because more of you have stepped up to maintain the quality of what we do in light of Kelly's "diaconal diversification," and your passion created more than maintenance. This is why these boards are asking us to expand our diaconal footprint. Kelly cannot do it all, and there is so much left to do. There are more volunteers to be cultivated, there are so many more areas of service that offer us and our children the opportunity to learn about and do what Jesus does. In order to succeed and to move forward faithfully, I support their request for this half time position. I hope you will, too. Yes, it will mean some additional financial investment. If even half of our households gave $2 to $3 more a week, this would be no problem. If even more households gave an additional $2 to $3 a week, it would be even less of a problem! I have been hearing people out in the community comment about the great stuff Our Saviour's is up to. I have heard my colleagues express these same sentiments. Six years ago I said I believed that Our Saviour's could truly make a difference in our community and the world. When I look around now, I see that we are!

Three former PMs surely? Didn't Tony Blair also give evidence ?
"Lord Justice Leveson is thought to question why, if Mr Gove views press regulation so dimly, his government ordered the inquiry in the first place. Mr Cameron might wonder the same thing."
I believe this is called trying to have one's cake and eat it.
David Cameron should be praised for his initiative to put lights on the otherwise hidden world of the relations between the press and politicians and other professions. Whatever Lord Leveson might recommend after all the hearings the Inquiry itself will be remembered as a courageous attempt by a politician to let the press learn a lesson that they will not be allowed to get away with what they do in the name of "freedom of the press".
The press have been enjoying the absolute freedom to point fingers at others including "lazy teachers", "rude social workers", "corrupt police and politicians" etc but nobody has been able to speak up about the abuse of the power by the press. The only exception might be the Veracity Index of MORI where journalists are always one of the least trusted people competing for the bottom with politicians and government ministers.
I wish we had our version of Leveson Iquiry in Japan where all the prime ministers are described as incompetent and stupid (if not corrupt) for the past 10 or so years.

But personally an effective simple email does not have to be plain text. I always stop to look at an html email. Yes if I am waiting for a specific email I do read a text email, but if someone wants to gain my attention about a random offer, it has to be html or I am not stopping. At the end of the day if your a good designer or a company that can invest in a good designer who also knows the basics of usable html pages, then your on to a winner. Let a bit of colour into your lives and maybe you'll enjoy 9 to 5. (and no I dont know a OMP or whatever it was)
Testing is vital, thats why thats been done, before I decided to go ahead with a html email, and yes I agree that the layout and usability of the email needs to be simple with an impact, which if you are a professional designer can be obtained.

Jonathan Yerasimides, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in surgery of the hip and pelvis. He earned a bachelor's degree in biology and his medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. In 2005, Dr. Yerasimides completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Louisville. The same year, his interest in hip and pelvis surgery motivated him to accept a subspecialty fellowship with the foremost authority on hip and pelvis surgery in the United States, Joel Matta, M.D.
Dr. Yerasimides almost exclusively operates on the hip and pelvis. He has performed more than 1,400 anterior-approach hip replacement surgeries since August 2006. Dr. Yerasimides has quickly become an authority on anterior-approach hip replacement, a less invasive procedure performed through an incision in the front of the hip. Dr. Yerasimides has performed this procedure more than any surgeon in Kentucky. He travels to teach the anterior-approach to other orthopedic surgeons, and surgeons visit Louisville to watch him perform the procedure firsthand. In addition to hip replacement, Dr. Yerasimides is one of few surgeons in the country who performs anterior-approach hip resurfacing and was named top hip replacement surgeon in Louisville in the August 2010 issue of Louisville Magazine, as selected by members of the Greater Louisville Medical Society.
Dr. Yerasimides is married and has three children. He and his wife are originally from Richmond, Mo., a small town on the outskirts of Kansas City. They are avid sports fans who enjoy thoroughbred racing at Churchill Downs, University of Louisville sports and the Kansas City Chiefs. They are proud to call Louisville home.
To schedule an appointment or for more information, contact Norton Orthopedic Specialists:
Norton Orthopedic Specialists - BrownsboroNorton Medical Plaza II (Orthopaedic and Hand Center)9880 Angies Way, suite 250Louisville, KY 40241(502) 394-6341
If you need to have hip replacement surgery, you'll want to find a surgeon with lots of experience. When it comes to anterior-approach hip replacement surgery, there's no one in Kentucky with more experience than Norton Healthcare's Jonathan Yerasimides, M.D. Get Healthy's Jackie Hays talks with Dr. Yerasimides about this different approach to hip replacement and its benefits.

Nicaragua to start exploring for oil in Caribbean
Thursday - 8/15/2013, 9:00pm  ET
MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) -- Nicaragua says it will start exploring for oil in a swath of seabed in the Caribbean Sea that an international court granted it last year after a dispute with Colombia.
Energy and Mines Minister Emilio Rappaccioli said Thursday the exploratory work in an area that is home to one of the largest barrier reefs in the Americas will start this weekend. It will be done by the U.S.-based company Noble Energy.
The International Court of Justice last year granted Nicaragua a large horseshoe-shaped area of the sea and seabed surrounding a group of tiny islands that the court granted to Colombia.
The archipelago is home to the 100-square-mile (255-square-kilometer) old Providence reef.
Environmentalists say exploratory drilling in the area will damage the environment.

Adoption and Foster Care Application: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDFIYXdMYUdlVXEwT0l4cGpOM2lhSHc6MQ
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.
Adoption Process:
Complete the application at the link above or send an email to email@example.com to tell us which pet you're interested in and we'll send you a questionnaire that will help us make the best match for you and your new pet. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
Other Pets at Paws for Life Rescue and Adoption
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Elvis, a Troy Beagle/Basset Hound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Basset Hound for sale in Troy, or seeking a Beagle/Basset Hound dog from a breeder in Troy.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Troy already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Troy breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle/Basset Hound breeders who help with Beagle/Basset Hound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Troy paves the way for another one to be saved.

An obvious gully heads roughly east up the slopes of the Queen Mtn. massif. The right side of the gully is a wall of towers and formations which terminate below a small plateau to the right. This is mentioned in the guide in the Slatanic approach. The Central Library is the 2nd or 3rd formation before the top.

Lion: Can't login after install
reddog708 Los Angeles
I dont know if this will help you but i havent gotten any decent help and i have a similar problem, but this worked for me:
I opened terminal from recovery mode (holding option on restart) and typed resetpassword. This allowed me to access root, which wasn't showing up during login. I reset the password and permissions options for root and restarted. Now there is a new icon for "other users" which allows me to enter root and log in. This gets me into the OS as root.

I have exactly the same problem here on my mbp. Gona try the root login also..

Having same problem. Spent an hour on phone to Apple yesterday and no one could help. Supposed to get call back from supervisor, nothing. Spent three hours restoring from Time Machine only to find entire Desktop folder missing. Contained hundreds of files, can't find them in any Time Machine backup. Called them again today, another hour wasted. Told me to phone back in two hours when it's quieter. Hours wasted, "backed up" files lost and one very very angry customer. Would love to know how Apple are going to compensate me for this... Lion only £20.99 but could end up costing you £1000s!

Don't panic. Your files ain't gone.

Thanks for the hint with password recovery.
After digging around for some time, I checked the console.log and found several error messages (mostly startup items / launchd. After removing those... still the same.
I decided to give a fresh clean install to the machine and recovered my files from my time machine backup.
Thanks to all.

Thanks, that helps with Lion. I'm going to stick with 10.6 for now though - from all other problems I've been hearing about Lion doesn't sound production ready. The main problem now is after "restoring" my Desktop folder, that Time Machine was supposed to back up, is gone. Days of work and precious photographs lost :(

So I think I solve the exact same issue by doing the following:
- restart in recovery mode (holding the option key while booting)
- run resetpassword in the terminal for root
- logging out, and logging back in as root
- going to system preferences to create an account with the exact same username as what I had previously
- then it asks you if you want to use the same user folder, say yes.
- logout and log back in with the original username and your desktop should be back.
That worked for me. I think I lost some of my Desktop's files but that was not too important for me...

I was having this problem too - tried booting into the recovery partition by holding down the option key at startup and resetting my password, setting the root password...but none of that worked.
For me the only solution that eventually worked was to re-install Lion from the recovery partition - after I did that it acknowldeged my password change and I was able to log in using my own account....

I had similar issue also, login keeps spinning after Lion install. Worked with Genius Bar folks (they had to get 2-3 Genius' involved) at the Apple Store. They went thru single usermode startup, deleted the DB file from the /var/db/AppleSetupDone.db (?). Went thru terminal program from Recovery Disk to create the original login user and map to the users/<originalname> file. After that it came up okay. The keychain file password seems to have gone in the process but other than that all is normal so far.

I have same issue, utter disaster as I can't login with any user and there's no recovery option either for some reason - so much for internet recovery. No single-user mode as I have an EFI password and I can't remove the EFI password until I get into the OS ! This is on a 2011 MBP so you'd expect it to be seamless.
I discovered, if I boot with an Ubuntu 11.04 CD, I can mount the filesystem read-only and then copy off all of my user files to a USB drive so don't panic if you can't recover and you don't have backups.
This is my first experience with Mac OS X upgrading and I'm not very impressed with the quality. I've done many Ubuntu over the air upgrades and never any issues as serious as this that would require a re-install.

I tried

- to login as normal user in single user mode - password not accepted
Help, please!
Thanks, W.
It seems, the only thing you have not tried so far is booting in safe mode.
That was the solution that worked for me in the same situation. In safe mode I could log in and disable all start up items and deinstall all my "haxies". After that I could log in normally with out problems.

I used a solution that I think's been mentioned before. From my unreliable memory...
- Boot using Command + R
- Launch Terminal
- Type passwordreset and hit enter
- Select drive that user account's on
- Reset password for root if your account's not available
- Reset ACL
- Exit open apps and restart
- Login as root
- Go to System Prefences
- Create new user account with same username as before
- Should get message saying something like, "Folder already exists would you like to use it?"
- Accept
- Logout
- Your old login should now work but with whatever password you used to recreate account
Worked for me

Just wanted to add my voice to the group.. I have the same problem... Allmost. The root solution doesnt work, safe boot doesnt work. I am now in the process of doing a second backup before attempting clean install and timemachine reinstall..

I am also having a login problem, but what is not clear from what has previously been said here is whether the original account is still there after the upgrade and it simply can't accept the password, or if it seems ot have 'lost' the account even though its home folder is still there.
So, when you login as root and then use System Prefs to create a new account with the same name etc, is that original account actually visible in the list of accounts? IOW, is it just confused over the authentication or has it 'forgotten' the user account?
