MPAA budget drops 50% in two years
3 Responses to "MPAA budget drops 50% in two years"
But what happens when it gets cut by 50% again? And then again? and then again? It can never reach 0%! It's Xeno's paradox!!!!
I always suspected that the MPAA was a sick predator that was riddled through and through with parasites: the studios are less willing to chip into the pot, yet the parasitic lobbyists still feed unabated, not caring if they gobble up their host in the process.
I'd say we're about halfway in the right direction.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 03/04/14 -- E-L Financial Corporation Limited ("E-L Financial") (TSX: ELF)(TSX: ELF.PR.F)(TSX: ELF.PR.G)(TSX: ELF.PR.H) today reported for the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated net operating income from continuing operations(1) of $140.6 million or $31.84 per share(2) in 2013 compared with $71.4 million or $14.53 per share in 2012. The $69.2 million increase in net operating income in 2013 versus 2012 is mainly attributable to the $44.5 million increase in life insurance operation's ("Empire Life's") net operating income resulting primarily from the Individual Insurance product line. The increase is due mainly to the favourable impact of long-term interest rate movements and stock market movements in 2013. E-L Corporate's net operating income increased $24.6 million principally due to the recovery of refundable dividend taxes resulting from the $301.5 million payment of the special dividend to Common shareholders.
Net income
E-L Financial earned consolidated net income from continuing operations of $596.6 million compared with $432.3 million in 2012. The $164.3 million increase in net income is due primarily to a $396.0 million increase in E-L Corporate's fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") investments during the year compared to $125.8 million in 2012, an increase of $131.6 million from United Corporations Limited's ("United") investments and the favourable impact of stock market movements during 2013. In 2012, the Company recognized a $142.2 million gain on the consolidation of United.
On November 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, The Dominion, to The Travelers Companies, Inc. for gross proceeds of $1.08 billion, resulting in an after-tax gain of $266.4 million. This gain combined with The Dominion's ten month earnings for 2013 of $44.7 million resulted in $311.1 million earned from discontinued operations.
Net income from continuing and discontinued operations resulted in E-L Financial earning total consolidated net income of $907.7 million or $227.18 per share compared with $479.6 million or $118.41 per share in 2012.
Comprehensive income
E-L Financial earned consolidated comprehensive income of $871.6 million or $217.99 per share in 2013 compared with $469.4 million or $115.82 per share in 2012. Consolidated other comprehensive loss ("OCL") was $36.1 million or $9.19 per share compared with $10.2 million or $2.59 per share in 2012.
The $25.9 million increase in OCL for 2013 is mainly due to the reclassification of significant gains relating to The Dominion's liquidation of its common share portfolio.
E-L Financial's net equity value per Common Share(1) at December 31, 2013 was $872.45.
"We are pleased with 2013's exceptional results," said Duncan Jackman, Chairman, President and CEO of E-L Financial. "This year saw a continuation of strong performance by equity markets globally and an increase in long-term bond yields. As a result, our investment portfolio benefited from positive equity market performance and the life insurance business reported record net income on the heels of an improving yield environment. In addition, the year culminated with the sale of our general insurance business, generating a significant gain. Many things went right for us this year, leaving the company in a strong financial position to continue building shareholder value over the long-term."

(1)Use of non-GAAP measures:
"net operating income" is net income excluding realized gain on available for sale investments including impairment write downs, the Company's share of income from associates and the fair value change in fair value through profit or loss investments in the E-L Corporate portfolio, all net of tax. The term net operating income does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
"net equity value per Common share" provides an indication of the accumulated shareholder value, adjusting shareholders' equity to reflect investments in associates at fair value, net of tax, as opposed to their carrying value.
(2) All earnings per share figures are net of dividends paid on First Preference shares.
(3) Net operating income and other comprehensive income (loss) for December 31, 2012 have been restated to reflect the impact of the prior period adjustment related to the remeasurement of defined benefit plans resulting in a $6,863 increase in net operating income and a $12,354 decrease in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2012.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – KATU in Portland was the first to report that Rockets forward Terrence Jones was arrested around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning for an alleged attack on a homeless man.
According to KATU, a Multnomah County public record confirms the arrest and states that Jones was released on his own recognizance early Wednesday morning. The record states he was charged with a Class B misdemeanor of harassment for allegedly yelling at a homeless man and stomping on his leg.
Jones, a rookie last season, was drafted 18th overall by the Houston Rockets, but spent most of last season in the development league and only played 19 games with the Rockets.

Old films always seemed to have bj's that usually ended with the actress actually finishing the scene on her own. These women do exactly that.
Each actress in this film never feels fake or too professional. Just real women and real sex.
These are indeed Asian women. Asian American women that is and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. they are accessible, easy to understand, down to Earth and fun.

Is there such a thing as custom lightweight lenses?
I've been on a bit of a camera and lens tear recently, but the thing that I note consistently is that good, bright glass is heavy glass.
Here I am, with the Sony Z2 as my "everyday carry" because I object to carrying a heavy notebook - and then the moment I pack a relatively lightweight camera body with a decent lens, it feels like I have an anchor in my backpack / messenger.
Aside from carrying a ready supply of helium balloons to tie to luggage, are there any options on the market for drastically reducing the weight of top quality glass? Perhaps a pipedream but e.g. I'd like a Zeiss 24-70 2.8 which weighs somewhere close to a kit (i.e. <400g as opposed to >900g).

Abstract—The global deployment of IP multicast has been slow due to the difficulties related to heterogeneity, scalability, manageability, and lack of a robust interdomain multicast routing protocol. Application-level multicast becomes a promising alternative. Many overlay multicast systems have been proposed in recent years. However, they are insufficient in supporting applications that require any-source multicast with varied host capacities and dynamic membership. In this paper, we propose two capacity-aware multicast systems that focus on host heterogeneity, any source multicast, dynamic membership, and scalability. We extend Chord and Koorde to be capacity-aware. We then embed implicit degree-varying multicast trees on top of the overlay network and develop multicast routines that automatically follow the trees to disseminate multicast messages. The implicit trees are well balanced with the workload evenly spread across the network. We rigorously analyze the expected performance of multisource capacity-aware multicasting, which was not thoroughly addressed in any previous work. We also perform extensive simulations to evaluate the proposed multicast systems.

HARMANâs Martin LEDs Blossom at Swedenâs Summerburst Festival
STOCKHOLM, Sweden â As some of the worldâs most pronounced DJs took the stage at the Sweden Summerburst Festival, a team of lighting professionals designed and managed a complete HARMAN Martin lighting display, highlighting artists such as David Guetta, Sebastian Ingroso, Axwell, Steve Angello, Alesso, Steve Aoki and Hardwell, among others. Deployed by Westridge Audio AB, the Martin system was required to have enough power to shine brightly and effectively during both day and night performances.
Music & Lights AB supplied 72 Martin MAC Auraâs, 12 MAC 301 Washes and 62 Atomic 3000 strobes for the festivalâs two, 2-day events in Göteborg and Stockholm.
âThe MAC Aura did an amazing job at the Summerburst Festival,â stated Production Manager Daniel Rüdén. âThe brightness of the fixtures and lenses are very usable during daylight and when the sun set, the zoom beam was almost as strong as the beam fixtures next to it!â
Rüdén described his struggle with weight limitations on tours and during festivals, but with Auraâs lightweight construction, the lighting team was able to provide more lighting options and fixtures, while keeping functionality at a maximum. âWe were able to hang trusses with fixtures between the LED panels on each side of the stage. The Martin Aura was small and effective, allowing us to move the trusses closer together and create great visuals for each performance.â
Tobias Borén, Lighting Director for the festival since its inception in 2011, was given free reign to put his final touch on the festivalâs lights, choosing the best fixtures to suit the EDM music during the festival. The final combined design between Rüdén and Borénâs visions were underscored by the Martin solution.
âIt was an easy choice for us â the MAC Aura is by far the best LED wash fixture on the market, due to its brightness and light weight,â Rüdén continued. âTobias also designed some great custom rain covers for the Auras, which allowed us to concentrate more on the show than the weather conditions.â

Geddes, NY - A shortcut for motorists traveling between Baldwinsville and Liverpool will become tricky next week when work begins on an $800,000 project to reconstruct Farrell Road in Geddes.
Workers Tuesday morning were beginning to unload concrete that will serve as part of the drainage for the project that runs from the railroad tracks beside warehouses to John Glenn Boulevard.
One lane, controlled by a flagman, will be open at all times during the project, said town Supervisor Manny Falcone.
Drainage work begins Monday, which will be followed by milling the road, installing a stone base, paving and curbing, said Al Trumble, who is supervising the project for Vitale, the contractor on the project.
The contract calls for the work to be completed within 45 days. "I'm going to see if I can make it less, depending on Mother Nature and any obstacles we might find," Trumble said.

The ongoing eruption at Etna, seen from Radiostudio 7 webcam (http://www.radiostudio7.it) located at Belvedere
A new eruptive episode is in progress at the New SE crater of Etna today. Starting this morning, tremor has been rising steeply and at the time of writing, the first strombolian explosions, or even small lava fountains, and perhaps already a small lava flow can be seen emerging from the SE-trending fissure cutting through the cone. All signs point towards that this is going to be the long-awaited 18th paroxysm of the New SE crater in 2011, following the previous one on 23 Oct after 23 days, the longest-so-far interval since July. [leer todo]
A little bit later, the lava flow already has reached the slope into Valle del Bove and lava fountains are seen from the summit vent as well.
Sunday, Oct 23, 2011
Another paroxysmal eruption (the 17th in 2011) is in progress at Etna's New SE crater at the time of writing. The volcanic tremor recorded by INGV has risen sharply to 50 times above background levels, and strong strombolian activity and/or lava fountains, as well as a lava flow into the Valle del Bove are visible from various webcams. ...màs
Sunday, Oct 09, 2011
Following 10 days of quiet, a new paroxysmal eruption (nr 16 in 2011) took place from the New SE crater of Etna volcano during the afternoon of 8 October 2011. ...màs [leer todo]

Wednesday, Sep 28, 2011
The 15th paroxysm of Etna's New SE crater occurred in the evening of 28 Sep, a few days earlier than what statistically had been expected (based on thze steady increasing intervals between the past similar events). ...màs [leer todo]

Thursday, Sep 08, 2011
The 13th paroxysm from Etna's New SE crater occurred this morning between ca. 8 and 10am, following a steep increase in tremor and a short period of rapidply increasing strombolian activity from several vents inside the new crater. The eruption intensified into lava fountains generating a tall ash plume drifting SSE and showering a narrow sector south of Etna with ash. ...màs
Monday, Aug 29, 2011
Another powerful eruption with an intense peak activity of tall lava fountains - a so-called paroxysm - occurred at Etna volcano's New SE crater earlier today. This marks the 12th event of the series in 2011 so far. The main phase of the eruption lasted between around 5 and 7 am local time. ...màs
Saturday, Aug 20, 2011
Friday, Aug 12, 2011
Strombolian activity has restarted at the "New SE crater" of Etna volcano, which means that, most likely, the 10th paroxysm is under way - IF the volcano behaves as during the past 9 episodes, where strombolian activity increased to violent lava fountain eruptions within 12-72 hours after the onset of such strombolian activity. ...màs

On the Job Training, Mobility and Employment Dynamics: Empirical Investigations with Individual and Establishment Data
AbstractThe paper analyses the following questions: Does on the job training tie employees to the firm or increase the propensity to change the job? Can significant differences be observed between skill or labor force groups? Are external effects induced by on the job training, namely, does the propensity to leave the firm change for non-trained employees? These topics are investigated based on generalized additive models, which make use of nonparametric methods to determine unspecified nonlinear effects. The investigation is carried out using German data on individuals (GSOEP) and establishments (The Hannover Panel). The major results are: On the job training usually reduces the probability to quit the job. Especially in the short run, the propensity to stay in a firm after additional training is increased for high skilled workers. Firm-paid training increases this propensity to a higher degree than worker-financed courses. Unskilled workers can improve their working conditions only by training for which they pay on their own and only if they change the employer after the course. Furthermore, employers often use training to start or to accelerate replacement processes. Crowding Out of unskilled by skilled workers is the consequence. The higher the firm's expenditures for training the higher is the propensity to fill vacancies by external recruitment.

Alborz Mountain, Damavand Heights
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been occupied since 4000BCE, making Iran home to the world's oldest continuous civilization.
It is located in central Eurasia on two ancient trade routes. One runs North-South and connects the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, the other one goes East-West between China, India, Europe and Africa.
There's a city called Isfahan at the intersection of these two routes, which at one time was the wealthiest city in the world. Isfahan was twice the capital of the Persian Empire, during the Median and then Safavid Dynasties.
Interesting artifacts from pre-Islamic Persia include the cylinder of Cyrus the Great, which is the world's first written declaration of human rights. The hanging gardens of Babylon (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world) and the Code of Hammurabi (a set of rules which outlast the King) are also on the list.
The Persian Empire was so magnificent that returning Crusaders carried tales of its splendor and helped spark the Renaissance in Europe! Influence of the Zoroastrian teachings of equality also inspired Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Socrates.
The Persian Empire was conquered by Muslim Arabs around 650CE during the Sassanid Dynasty. Initially the Zoroastrian, Christian and Jewish faiths were tolerated but by 1000CE most Persians had accepted Islam.
In the sixteenth century Shi'a Islam was declared in Isfahan to be the national religion of Persia and the second golden age began. From 1500 to 1720 the Safavid Dynasty built the greatest Iranian empire since before the Islamic conquest of Persia.
Because of its strategic location and oil resources, World War I found Persia in the middle of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire, Russia and the British Empire-via-India. Persia became Iran as of 1935 and was ruled by the Shah, a Persian term for "monarch."
In the Islamic Revolution of 1979 Iran re-established a theocratic government under the Ayatollah Khomeini.
Today the capital of Iran is the city of Tehran, and Iran is known as the world's center of Shi'a Islam.

it's a celebration!
It's celebration time at xo-inmyroom!
Last week, a year since we started this blog, after more than 100 post, and the good friends we've made…we had a good reason to celebrate. Was Pablo's birthday too, and this yummy cake, all in pink (thank you, Yolanda!) was for Olivia's. Already 18 and such a beauty!
And not to forget: spring is here! XO

blackberry tart
I get really excited when I see berries growing on the side of the road. This means another season is coming by as the summer comes to a close. Blackberries are such a nutritious fruit. This recipe is a delicious way to incorporate them into a healthy dessert, so you can have them often. The natural sweetness of this fruit tart allows you to enjoy a tasty dessert without added sugar…Is there anything better than a day out in the sun picking up berries!?
Delicious! XO

angel food cake
Angel Food cake, or Angel cake, is a type of sponge cake originally from North America. It is named because of its airy lightness that was said to be the "food of the angels."
What a beautiful name….
It's mainly made with egg whites and no fat, a great solution when you want a dessert but don't want something rich that will weigh you down. On the other hand, it also makes a great base for all sorts of custards, sauces and icings, as well as fruit compotes. But with this name…of course, it had to be white, so we did this one with coconut.

Nacionalidade das Empresas e Fluxo de Empregos no Brasil (Firms' Nationality and Job Flows in Brazil)
AbstractThe late 1990s in Brazil are a period characterized by a large increase in foreign direct investment inflows (and outflows). This process motivates the present study about job flows in domestic and foreign firms. Although foreign firms tend to be considered more `footloose' than domestic firms, there is very little evidence on this difference, even for developed countries. Using data from RAIS, a large matched employer-employee panel, and other data sets and a sample of foreign and domestic firms created from a propensity score matching analysis, we compare different measures of job flows across the two types of firms. We find that, if there is any difference between the two, it is the domestic firms that exhibit greater destruction and reallocation rates and lower net job creation.

Not all leagues are created equal, and not all of them have starting spots designated for Flex players. But for those that do, we offer two versions of our Top 150 rank lists: One for standard formats and one for PPR formats. You might notice some peculiar rankings here, and that's because these are based solely from my weekly projections -- not an average of multiple points of view. So if a tight end is projected to get 20 yards and a touchdown, he'll be equal to a quality running back projected for 80 total yards. Thus, use these rankings as a starting point for your weekly research, not a definitive source.
Week 1 highlight: You'll find Cadillac Williams ranked among the Top 12 overall in standard formats. His matchup vs. the Browns makes him a candidate to put up close to 100 total yards with a touchdown. We don't expect Williams to see many matchups like this all year, and with his track record as it pertains to injuries there's no telling how long he'll be upright. It's recommended that he is at least considered for starting lineups because of these factors.
Look out for our Flex rankings every Tuesday throughout the season, with daily updates as necessary.

We reserved trucks at this location but none were available. Our reservation was made in July for a move in late August.... chasing trucks all over to find one for our move.
Nothing .... excellent customer service ... Will use again if I need to move !!!!!
Very helpful and nice staff!
Pleased with the service and the equipment.
have the truck that was promised. i reserved a 26 foot truck 4 days prior to pickup and was assured it would be there. i even received a call the day before telling me everything was ok, the day i was supposed to pick up my truck there were none available in the size i reserved. i had to settle for a smaller truck forcing me to leave 2 recliners a refrigerator and a freezer, along with a push mower and weed eater.( i was moving over 700 miles away) i will do everything in my power to make sure no one that i know or come in contact with uses u-haul.
Cheaper prices and lower mileage units
My most recent experience with Uhaul, as consistent with past experiences, was filled with miscommunications, problems, and technical difficulties with the equipment. In the past I was given a truck with a blown radiator and was told to take the truck because it had been checked and would be fine. When I questioned the condition of the truck I was told to look under the hood if I wanted! I asked the attendant to raise the hood and when he did it revealed a large hole in the radiator hose that was blowing steam. Most recently, I had to jump my rented truck 3 times because the battery was dead. I was told that I left the box truck light on too long. The problem is that I did not use the light and checked to make sure it was not turned on. From previous difficulties I was ensured that I would get a voucher for my troubles. I was told that it would automatically show up when I scheduled my next truck rental and could be applied to that move. I booked the truck and whomever I talked to at the time said that the voucher would be applied. When I showed up at 7:00 am to pick up my truck I was told that there was no documentation for a voucher and that I would have to pay for the truck. I was livid. It was like I was being given information to shut me up and get me off the phone and then there was no follow through. The general manager, Travis, at Uhaul of Southside is Uhaul's only saving grace in my book. I'm not sure if it was just West Virginia hospitality but he was extremely accommodating and helpful. Needless to say, I will not be giving Uhaul my business again in the future. I would rather pay twice as much for a rental than to deal with everything I have from Uhaul in the past 3 months. It has been a very negative experience.
Had to rent a truck to bring pods to my home. In florida
pods came on truck forklift took pods off on driveway and pods stayed for a week till they were packed then U-Haul came back for them. Would be good since I am a widow and disabled had to hire someone to drive pods to my home. I realize Tampa is a bigger market but even if U-Haul would bring the pods would be better Thanks for listening....
Checking the truck and car carrier took less then
15 minutes.
My over all experience w/Uhaul was horrible and pathetic. I WILL NEVER USE UHAUL AGAIN. Your reps are rude, inconsiderate, uncompassionate, defensive, confrontational, unsympathetic. I reserved a 26ft truck to move 2 houses 350 miles. I was then promised a 20ft truck and a 8x12 trailer. I barely ended up with a 14ft truck. The trailer was stolen weeks before it was booked for me. The 20ft truck was sent one way out from under me. I ended up having to leave 3/4 of my house in WV and thank GOD that the ppl that bought my house were friends and allowed us to leave our items for a few days. I ended up having to spend an extra 900.00 plus to make a 2nd trip to bring the rest of my things to NC thru a Budget Rental truck. Every rep I encountered through 800 service was NOT helpful. I got hung up on many times, blind transferred. NO ONE wanted to take responsibility and help resolve the issue. The only option I was given was to drive almost 200 miles out of my way to get another truck from another of Uhauls locations. Rusty, Leslie and Martha in the Charleston WV traffic center did nothing to make me feel that they wanted to help me. I have 2 small children and was facing setting on the street waiting for a truck to come available. I had to leave valuable things that I need for my family behind for 5 days. I was lied to about having an extra day for the rental that Rusty promised me. Then I was re-promised by Alex in the Hickory loction where we dropped our truck off. But I was charged for the extra day and had to drive to the Hickory location and fight with Alex and Mauricio over my refund. Neither of which was 'customer' oriented. Mauricio was very very confrontational and negative. Alex did not want to own up to what he told me at first either. I will HIGHLY recommend to any and everyone that I speak with NOT RENT FROM UHAUL. I WILL NEVER EVER USE YOUR COMPANY AGAIN. Please rename you 'customer service' to RUDE OPERATORS because that's all I encountered. What a horrible pathetic way to treat people. Moving, especially across several states, is extremely stressful. Then to have to deal with this kind of service is just pathetic. Teach your ppl some sympathy and how to say "I'm sorry" because that was never said to me once during this ordeal.
Again, as the pick up location comments go, the gentleman was helpful and polite.
No need for improvement.
Everything went very well and I was very satisfied with the entire rental process and equipment. I plan to use this location in the future when I need a rental truck or trailer.
excellent customer service, very informative. Truck was clean and performed perfectly. thank you for a great experience
Next time I will get the trailer and do a "local" move if possible. It is cheaper and you won't have to drive 4 hours wandering if the trailer will be there as promised.
Was aware the blankets where charged by the day wouldn't recommend rent them.
Appreciate the vehicle was ready for pickup at the scheduled time. There were no delays. Service representatives were courteous and professional.
Manager was helpful.
Get everything in writing.
None will use Uhaul again
Easy in and easy out
Very pro. top notch
Once again, renting from UHaul was very unsatisfactory and no one at UHaul seems to care. We were guaranteed a 26ft truck at 12noon. Our movers were coming to load it at 1. When we arrived, we were told there was only a 20 ft truck available. the 26 ft would possibly come back after 3. We were MAD !! our stuff did NOT fit in a 20' truck. We were offered a small trailer. Not much fit in that. We had to leave for the trash man, our sofa, an antique hutch from my grandmother's, all her china and my china, a bedroom set, a kitchen table and chairs, and numerous other things too precious to mention and too costly to replace. I can't believe UHaul did us wrong again. Seems like the big company doesn't care for the little consumer any more. I am extremely disappointed in the way I was treated. Oh, and the UHaul attendant couldn't get the trailer lights/ blinkers to work, he said go ahead and take it. That was unsafe and very unprofessional. Everyone at that store does not have my trust nor respect. Will be sharing all this information on my social media sites in the next few days as soon as my Wi-Fi is installed. I will go with Budget next time. UHaul has turned into a company that does not care about the comfort, safety nor goodwill of it's customers.
Paul was very helpful, as many times before.
