- Owners of Toyota (NYSE:TM) vehicles across the country impacted by the Toyota Unintended Acceleration Economic Loss Settlement have received checks over the last week or two.
- Most of the checks to cover the economic loss over the issue which arose in 2009 fall in the modest $15 to $30 range.
- A thought-provoking op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal puts the settlement in perspective by highlighting the vast discrepancy between the $227M awarded to attorneys vs. the roughly $395K that went to primary plaintiffs and owners represented in the class action.

Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are finally improving in quality and dropping in price to bring stunningly fast performance in a small package (not too different in size than an iPhone 5). Even after testing a number of storage brands and models that feature SSD drives, I wasn't prepared for the unreal speed of OWC's Envoy Pro EX: It's a portable SSD solution that outperforms the desktop SSDs.
Piccure is a plug-in for reducing camera shake blur, the same issue that's addressed by the new Shake Reduction filter in Photoshop CC. As with Shake Reduction in Photoshop CC, the usual caveats apply: this won't help images that were not focused correctly, and the more obvious the camera shake, the less effective it will be. In short, don't expect miracles.
The D7100 is Nikon's flagship camera in its DX-format DSLR lineup. If you're just getting into DSLRs, or you haven't upgraded your camera in more than 5 years, we highly recommend the D7100.
Manfrotto's Magic Arm has become standard issue grip equipment for photographers seeking a flexible, durable, jack-of-all-trades solution that MacGyver would be proud of. Fans of the Magic Arm are going to love Manfrotto's new Snake Arm, an innovative, compact, reimagined take on the flexible grip arm.
The latest camera flash by LumoPro, the LP180 Quad-Sync Manual Flash, comes in a padded carrying pouch, with a stand, specially cut Rosco color-correction gels, and a sync cable. It recycles in four seconds on NiMH batteries, and one second on high-voltage battery power.
Digital Anarchy recently updated its Beauty Box plug-in for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Aperture. It's touted as an "easy and powerful way of smoothing out skin and removing blemishes." That's somewhat true.
The COOLPIX A marks Nikon's introduction to the advanced, fixed focal length lens, compact camera arena, joining companies such as Ricoh, Leica, Fujifilm, Sony, and Sigma. Characteristics of this group include fast lenses, RAW file capture, and large price tags.
In the world of 3D modeling (virtual or otherwise), NewTek's LightWave 3D continues to be the standard for professionals. The latest update (11.5) takes this software to new heights, with features that are over-and-above many designers' wish lists.
Flame Painter 2 is a unique program that's not for everyone; however, creatives will find loads of excuses to play with this application. Flame brushes are just one small segment of the process, and the control and precision you have using these esoteric elements will make you feel bad for folks trying to do similar things any other way.
For creative professionals, tracking time spent on projects is a necessary fact of life. In an ideal world, your computer would track the time you spend on projects, and you could then adjust the numbers to account for mistakes, and include additional time spent on noncomputer tasks. If you spend most of your billable time in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, InCopy, or Flash, or in Microsoft Office, CreativeWorx offers exactly that possibility with their TimeTracker system.

Ideal for toy boxes, lid supports prevent chest lids from accidentally slamming shut on fingers. Lid supports feature a solid brass slide with a statuary bronze finish. Available in left-side mount configuration, in three load ratings.
Technical Details
- Allows lid to open to 85 degrees
- Use on boxes with a 3/4" thick back.
- Can be used singly, in pairs or in multiples of 3 or more
- Durable statuary bronze finish
- Includes 5/8" x #5 mounting screws
- Sold individually
Calculating the Number and Rating of Lid Supports
Use the following formula to determine the optimal number and rating of lid supports:
Lid width (front to back) x lid weight in pounds / 2 = Inch-lbs. of support required.
Example, using an 18" wide lid weighing 12 lbs: (18 x 12)/2 = 108. Therefore, either two 45-55 or one 95-125 Inch-lbs support would be an appropriate choice.

By Dan GeringerThe Philadelphia Daily News
PHILADELPHIA - The teenagers came from cop families and from "don't snitch" families, from supportive and from broken homes - but when they slowly advanced down a hallway in a Philadelphia Police Academy training building, plastic guns drawn, protecting each other's backs while they searched the rooms for an "armed suspect," they were one team.
As they advanced, the diamond-shaped formation they were supposed to be moving in for self-protection became ragged, leaving the young wannabes vulnerable to ambush.
This did not please the man leading the diamond, Sergeant Derrick Bryant, a 19-year police veteran from North Philadelphia and an Army reservist since 1979, wearing the desert-camouflage fatigues he wore while recently serving in Iraq.
"We don't put up with any nonsense here," said Sgt. Ed Timcho Jr., a warrant officer whose partner, Joseph LeClaire, was killed in Germantown in 2004 while serving a felony warrant for the First Judicial District.
"We're not a baby-sitting service," Timcho said. "The kids have to want to be here."
Like Timcho and Bryant, all of the police officers who teach the 50 Explorers volunteer their Saturdays and often weeks of their vacation time to give the 14-to-20-year-olds a realistic grounding in Police Academy training.
Under the supervision of Corporal Bryan Coyle, a 15-year police veteran whom every kid in the program calls the father figure who is "always there for me," the Explorers learn to fire weapons, conduct SWAT-team drug raids, investigate crime scenes, intervene in domestic disputes and take down dangerous suspects.
"They don't sugarcoat the training," said Timcho's son, Ed Timcho III, 17, a Northeast High student and a 4-year veteran Explorer whose dream is to be a SWAT-team medic.
"They treat you like an adult. This is paramilitary training that gives you an edge when you get on the job."
Timcho III, already a certified emergency medical technician who worked with a Philadelphia ambulance crew last summer, said that Explorers training "gave me the edge for experiencing things that the average 17-year-old would not see - drug overdoses, traffic accidents, strokes, heart attacks, D.O.A.s.
"I've been covered in feces and vomit from someone who overdosed on drugs," he said. "When my dad used to tell me about these things, I didn't believe him. Now, people ask what's the worst thing I've ever seen and when I tell them, they don't believe me."
Timcho III said he was hooked on law enforcement by "the adrenaline rush that can come upon you in a dangerous situation," but his father cautioned that controlling the adrenaline is crucial.
"Probation and parole violators are the worst to go after because they know when you catch them, they are going right back to prison for 5, 10 years," the senior Timcho said.
"Your heart feels like it's pumping out of your chest when you go through that door, but you can't get tunnel vision from an overload of adrenaline. You have to be under control."
Moments later, a young Explorer, holding a steel battering ram with the words "Knock Knock" on its business end, proved Timcho's point.
Leading his heavily-armed squad, the Explorer pounded on the suspect's front door, yelled, "Philadelphia Police! We have a warrant! Open up!" - then smashed the door open and rushed in still carrying the battering ram instead of stepping aside and letting his gun-toting partners confront the suspect.
Timcho pointed out the potentially fatal mistake. The Explorer blushed and got it right the next time.
Baby-faced but mature beyond their years, the middle- and high-school kids are reminded of the risk every time they practice car stops in a Police Academy area bordered by cherry trees - each tree with a plaque memorializing the life of a fallen police officer.
The Explorers worked the car stops - a dangerous part of a police officer's ordinary day - and Sgt. Bryant did not like what he saw from the partner standing on the passenger side who was covering the cop talking to the driver.
"Don't keep your hand on your pistol, folks," Bryant told the Explorers. "Makes you look scared." He did not have to say it again.
"The Police Explorers turns out a lot of good officers," said Bryant. "Just as importantly, it turns out a lot of decent, quality human beings."
"A lot of kids come here from broken homes and bad situations," said Police Graphic Artist Roderick Scratchard, a 28-year veteran whose sketches include the Center City Stalker and the Fairmount Park rapist.
"The Explorers gives those kids a pride that sometimes is missing when they first come here," Scratchard said.
"They've gone on to West Point, to all branches of the service, to the presidential honor guard and, of course, to the Police Academy.
"One young man, Maurice Robinson, had no way to pay for college on his own. When an Army recruiter asked him about leadership skills, he mentioned his years in the Police Explorers. The Army is now paying for his college education, after which he will serve as a 2nd Lieutenant."
Scratchard's son, rookie Police Officer Phillip Scratchard, 19, an Explorer since his sophomore year at Franklin Towne Charter School, graduated from the Police Academy last month and volunteers on his free Saturdays to help others follow in his footsteps.
"He's a rookie cop at 19, barely older than some of the Explorers," the elder Scratchard said proudly. "They give him that respect because he was an Explorer, and now he's a Philadelphia Police Officer. He made it."
At a recent training session, the younger Scratchard demonstrated baton takedowns on a dummy.
"You don't want to hit in the red vital areas," Scratchard said, lightly tapping the dummy's red-painted chest and groin. "Aim for the green - legs and arms."
Scratchard suddenly shouted at the dummy, "Stop! Get back!"
He paused briefly to give the "deranged man" time to respond, then struck the dummy's green knee with bone-breaking force.
After practicing on the dummy, the Explorers tried a live "deranged man," played by Sgt. Timcho wearing head-to-toe body armor and carrying a plastic spring water bottle that represented a glass beer bottle.
"Drop the bottle, sir!" an Explorer told the weaving, babbling Timcho.
"That's just my beer," Timcho said, advancing toward the Explorer. "Cost me two bucks."
"Drop the bottle, sir!" the Explorer repeated, raising his baton but hesitating to use it.
"What for? I only had two sips out of it," Timcho said, lurching dangerously close.
When the Explorer hit Timcho with the baton, much less convincingly than he had hit the dummy moments earlier, Timcho shouted, "Police brutality!" and lunged for the Explorer, who realized too late that he had lost his advantage.
When the Explorers worked in pairs, they counterattacked much more aggressively, raining blows on Timcho's head and groin until an instructor pointed out that those were the vital areas they were told to avoid.
"You learn how things can go bad in the blink of an eye during fights on the highway, car stops and domestic disturbances if you are not in control," young Scratchard told them.
Things can go bad when you're just hanging on the corner, too, said Jerry Merschen, a cable-TV installer in Northeast Philadelphia, who fervently added, "The Police Explorers saved my son's life."
His son Daniel, 18, an Explorer since his sophomore year at Archbishop Ryan High, is now in U.S. Marines boot camp.
"When he was 15, my kid was going down a road that wasn't a good road," Merschen said. "There's nothing about hanging out on the corner that's good.
"He was never arrested or anything like that, but I caught him and my wife caught him hanging with a lot of kids who were full of hopelessness, and that just breeds more hopelessness.
"When Danny went into the Explorers," Merschen said, "his pants were down, his baseball cap was crooked, his hair was long and he had an attitude like any other cocky 15-year-old kid.
"After nine months or so, his pants were pulled up, his chest was pulled out, his hair was short and his baseball cap was thrown away with the baggy clothes. His whole attitude changed. He's on the right track. He'll have a good life."
When he finishes serving in the Marines, Daniel wants to go to the Police Academy.
"He's dreamed about this since he was a kid," Merschen said. "But you can go down the wrong side of the line and break the law as a kid and never get to be a police officer. I believe the Police Explorers saved Danny's life by stopping him from going down that wrong side of the road."

we bought our home new back in august 1998. the company was Greentree at that time. we purchase insurance threw them for the first year and then after that we got our own insurance through farm bureau. we had farm bureau for 2 years when greentree started stating that the insurance wasn't covering what was owed on the home ( double wide). Now we had to drop farm bureau to take greentree insurance company which cost more, don't cover contence and being charged interest on top of it all. few more years goes by and concenco took over greentree and then another few years goes by and were back with greentree. After having and paying on our double wide for 5 years, we didn't see our principle start droping like the salesman said it would. now after 10 years still nothing going down on our principle. Back in 2011 we had water damage to the kitchen and utility room. we never made a claim before and thought we would try to see if we could get help to fix the damages. the insurance company they made us take was wonderful and sent us the check for the work, but they also had Greentree name on that check. my husband and I had to endorce the check to greentree and wait for greentree to release money back to us to complete the work. we done the work ourself since my husband is a carpenter and jack of all trades. Greentree refused to send all the money from the insurance check. Greentree first sent us 3oo dollars which wouldn't complete the new cabinets. we had to hire a lawyer to get our money. we had 3 month of my home in a wreck. I couldn't cook any meal and it was getting stressful. in the meantime during the year 2012 we wasn't seeing much of a decrease in the princle owed. we did start getting behind on some payment and about to let the home go back. the spring of this year 2013 we thought we would try refinancing with our local bank. most was a go but not had the apprasil done yet. on April 3RD 2013 our house caught a fire, but not a total loss. I kinda froze up knowing the probelms were going to go through with greentree.
Again the insurance company paid good and was easy to deal with , but again the check had greentree name on it so my husband and I had to endorce the check to greentree. then after fighting with them they would not releace no money to us. we had to get our payments current, but they still wouldn't give us no money. Greentree wanted us to pay for the work out of our own pockets, so picture and reciets before they would give us any money for the repairs. I went to many attorneys and none wanted to touch the case. I felt hopeless, stressed and so angry that I was paying for a home that couldn't live proper in. my husband and I desided to stop making payments then after 3 months of more horrasing calls and ect , greentree turned us over to thier lawyer. we told thier lawyer we was in them middle of refinancing the home but can do it cause the shape the home was in and we was needing our insurance claim money to complete the work. that was the only way we gotten 75% of the insurance claims money. we got the home back in living condition and almost got the home finished at our bank.
I am now noticing which more likely been done to me for 16 years now, but greentree keep adding $8.19 every day for reaccuring interest. I bought the home in August 1998 for $37,000 and today october 3RD 2013 I still owe $31,891.51.. each day they keep adding $8.19 to that amount and my payment is current and not due until october 15Th 2013. here is another thing I like to add is when we had the house fire is when we found out the insurance company greentree made us take still wasn't covering what was owed on the loan. all these years greentree was frauding us with high insurance cost, interest and all the headache we had to endur.
Greentree is charging us 10.5 % interest on the loan but I don't see were they can charge me $8.19 per day. what is a reaccuring interest anyway. my loan term was for 30 year and then I still wouldn't see how it would of been paid off in that time frame since we been paying for 15 years now and it only dropped around $5,000.. I sure hope my bank hurrys and that greentree will take the remaining $2100. from the insurance claim and put it toward the principle... Greentree a fraud and I advise people to stay clear of them. at least going through my local bank I will have the home paid off in 7 years making the same amount of payments. thier need to be a class action lawsuit aginst greetree...

Bakemonogatari - Black Hanekawa - 1/8 (Kotobukiy...Bakemonogatari - Black Hanekawa - 1/8 (Kotobukiya)
02 years ago (2 years ago)SagaOtaku
-___- I'm kinda disapointed.
I have Kotobukiya's Senjougahara and she looks terrific and I their Kanbaru looks great too, but this one can not compete with Altair's version IMO :/
They seem to be trying to do the same with her hair as altair and it doesn't work with the pose, the alter one had so much movement in the pose like she had just landed on that roof meanwhile this one's pose is much more relaxed so the hair being like that makes no sense, to me at least. And the same problem occurs with the base, the hair and base go together but they don't go with the pose.
Hair and base = Hanekawa smashed down on that desk with lots of energy and Nyahaha insanity (similar to altair)
Pose and face = Hanekawa lies seductively with a mischievous smile on top of a desk
one is intense the others relaxed both fine concepts and had they gone with just one I'm sure it would've been lovely but this just seems misguided and confused to me, like they wanted to do a seductive and still Hanekawa, but saw the great altair version and decided to try that too.
Anyway I still hope Koto will make more Bakemonogatari figures, like Araragi ^^ since they're making so many male figures now it might happen
02 years agokilani Sayaka Rank
I actually don't like the base at all, I mean the idea is great but why I want a battered, ugly looking school desk on display? Don't like her hair either, her face doesn't bother me that much as others.. I thought ALTER face was no good too.
One thing I love about this one are her hand's sculpt.
Either way, still no Black Hanekawa that suits my tastes..
Yup, this price, koto lost their mind for a minute I think.

02 years agovhayste
I also have the Alter version of her so I think I'll just get her if she's on sale. Besides, her release date's on May and I already have Saber Motored Cuirassier pre-ordered for that month.
And that's a pricey yet worth it purchase.
02 years agoKiraYamato44 凛 X 遙☆〜シャークベイート☆〜
Love the base. Hate the face...and the price... Yikes...
02 years agoalamarco
Pretty much inline with De-JaY. I just seen her on AmiAmi and not a fan of her face and the price is insane. I already have ALTER's version, which I think trumps this by far so I'll keep away from this one.
When I seen another Black Hanekawa I got excited, until I further expected her. Hopefully more companies will release her as I wouldn't mind more than one of her in collection.
02 years agoAle
amazing base, but that face... i will keep saving up for alter's version, damn shipping to south america =/
02 years agoDe-JaY Teitoku
What the hell? This price is totally not Koto-like. And it's just 1/8. Apart from the fact that her face is ugly anyway. Only the base is nice. So is Koto pulling a GSC now? No thanks.

Why do figure makers always insist on giving white haired characters silver-ish hair instead? Main reason I didn't get the Alter Hanekawa and another reason why I'm not getting this one.
hey, Alter Hanekawa's hair is white. without any other tints except for the shadows.
02 years agoMao
Already order her in my local shop. I have a little hope that Kotobukiya fix her face, but this is not that big problem to give up buying this figure.
02 years agovhayste
I think I'll wait for her to hit the bargain bin, considering that most potential buyers (from here and some of my fellow local collectors) have qualms in getting her first hand.
02 years agotvema
actually most figures period go into the bargain bin. ... most if not all of them have went into the bargain bin at some point shortly after they released
Same i bought a lot of my nendoroids by preorder and now they are on big sales everywhere :(((
It makes me be sad ...
But if Koto make this figure more clearly then I think she will be very popular
02 years agostrictlystyles Closet Nerd
Yeah same here, almost all the Bakemonogatari figures goes in the bargian bin. o:
actually most figures period go into the bargain bin. Ive pre ordered at least 50 figures this year and most if not all of them have went into the bargain bin at some point shortly after they released(except the large special figures like dizzzy).
02 years agoPahsmina
Wonder if she'll go on sale.
Yeah same here, almost all the Bakemonogatari figures goes in the bargian bin. o:
02 years agoOphexis
I don't know the character and I'm assuming things but from my own "experience" and thoughts, well producers never or very rarely use pure white. What looks pure white is not often pure white...xD It probably looks better in general on a 3D shape to have this color than pure white.
I think it looks good, but again, I don't know the character~
02 years agogksilkamina By the Power of Gitaroo
Why do figure makers always insist on giving white haired characters silver-ish hair instead? Main reason I didn't get the Alter Hanekawa and another reason why I'm not getting this one. The overall sculpt's pretty meh, too.
Base is nice,and I do like how her hands were done.
02 years agoponnie ~Donyatsu Huntress~
hmmmm...looks interesting, but I don't like the face and the hair is somewhat strange.
no tits, too. it's ridiculous for such a price!

This one needs some help. Any Harry J fans around? This is credited on Discogs & this video to "Sir Harry" which leads to "Harry J"... who has only a few records credited to him (tracks also credited to the Harry J All Stars). So I'll add this here for now & guesstimate the year, but if anyone has more info (correcter title? release year?) on this original track please use the red "Report missing or wrong information / video" link.

"My cards came out beautiful in the custom color i picked. Everything looked amazing and the photo on the back had great quality. They shipped and were at my house in a few days, I will buy from this site again."
"I ordered my cards after completing the design. I made further changes and nothing was too much trouble, the amendments were made without fuss. The paper quality of the invitations and the envelopes were excellent. They even came with a tissue insert for the envelope and an extra 7 cards as spares. Service was exceptional and delivery very quick Will definitely be recommending to friends and family."
"After searching for a card that was unique and had the colors we wanted it was such a relief to see these cards. We didn't have to change much. The design and quality fit our needs perfectly!"
"I love the fact that i spent so long personalising my invitations and when they arrived at my door step, i could tell just as much care went into printing them. The paper is beautiful, the printing is superb. I paid for a few extras to enhance the colour and look of the paper and i'm glad i did. I have bought the whole suite. Loved every inch of it!"
"Lovely, lovely, lovely!!!! I had a lot of text customization on this card, but it turned out beautifully. I entered both of my parents names and because we were getting married in a church, added in "Request the honor of your presence." Though the original design was not suited to all this text, the designers edited and it turned out perfectly. I just love this design!"

New brunches in Dubai
New Friday feasts and new menus from our restaurant insider 1 Comments
- Picture 1 of 2
Spring has well and truly sprung – a sentiment captured by the meadowfuls of dining options blossoming around town. The otherwise completely underwhelming Kempinski Hotel on The Palm's West Crescent is beginning to claw its way back into our affections with its new beachside barbecues, every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7pm (Dhs175 with soft drinks; Dhs225 with selected house beverages). Other new meal deals across town include a new brunch at the Belgian Beer Café in Madinat Jumeirah, which features steak tartare, mussels and Flemish beef stew, as well as a headache-inducing number of hop-based beverages to quaff (Dhs180 for soft drinks; Dhs269 for selected house beverages).
BiCE Mare is another restaurant upping its Friday festivities – executive chef Francesco Guarracino has introduced a new sharing concept revolving around the host of new dishes that have recently been added to the à la carte menu (Dhs295 for soft drinks; Dhs395 including unlimited house beverages).
Taking a deep breath, we head over to the Monarch Dubai, which will be launching a new cheese and grape night at Arcadia, costing a palate-pleasing Dhs149 for French grape and 15 varieties of cheese. And if you happen to be eating your way down Sheikh Zayed Road, you could do worse than popping into Caramel Restaurant & Lounge, winner of the Best Bar Food category at the 2012 Time Out Dubai Restaurant Awards. The venue has just launched a new menu featuring decidedly Asian-themed treats, such as TNT shrimp, crab rolls and hoisin steak salad, as well as kobe bolognese and vegetarian risotto. Likewise, Italian family favourite Rhonda Locatelli at Atlantis is also offering a new menu, packed with London-based Italian maestro Giorgio Locatelli's latest creations.
Spectrum on One is taking home cooking to another level by introducing its new 'Mama Chef' promotion. Quite simply, the international restaurant at the Fairmont will be bringing out an authentic 'mama' to cook her own special brand of cuisine. This month, an Indian mama will be gracing the kitchen and will be followed thereafter by a Thai mama, a Japanese mama and mamas of various nationalities. What qualifications these women have other than mothering children we're unsure, but we guess (and hope) they're a dab hand in the kitchen. Keep an eye on future issues of Time Out Dubai for details. Until then, bon appétit.By Oliver Robinson

Kobe Bolognese? I really don't understand the idea of it. Neither senseless is something like Kobe or wagyu burger. First of all I doubt, that it is real Kobe. As my knowledge, real Kobe is almost entirely sold within Japan, with the exception of Macao. Second, wagyu cattle are so special because of their intramuscular fat. However if you are mince it, there is not much difference in adding fattier meet, than if you are using wagyu. Hence - it is just a rip off...

The North American energy boom should help power up an industry that's been stuck in the doldrums: marine transportation.
Shipping, the ugly stepsister of commodities, has been unappealing over the past few years. A massive shipbuilding boom created overcapacity, sending shipping fees into free fall. The Baltic Dry Index, a key benchmark for waterborne transportation fees, peaked at 11,793 in May 2008 before plunging to 663 in December that year, according to FactSet. By Friday it crept back to 933.
However, it's the shipping of certain petroleum products that should power the sector over the next few years. The transportation of refined products—including gasoline and other liquids distilled from crude oil—is set to rev up.
"We believe that supply/demand dynamics will drive a secular improvement in product tanker-freight rates over the coming years," writes Urs Dur, a maritime analyst with asset manager Clarkson Capital Markets in New York. The sector isn't just benefiting from an improvement in the business cycle, but from a more fundamental change. Dur and his team see demand for "clean tankers"—the ones used to transport refined products—jumping 4.8% this year and 4% next year. That increase in demand easily outpaces the anticipated increase in tanker inventory of 1.8% this year and 2.3% next year.
THE SHUTTERING OF OIL refineries in North America and Europe—and the corresponding opening of such facilities in Asia—is behind the surge in this sector, according to Douglas Mavrinac, shipping analyst at the investment bank Jefferies in Houston.
Although other shipping companies own clean tankers, Scorpio Tankers STNG -3.958090803259604% Scorpio Tankers Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD8.25 -0.34 -3.958090803259604% /Date(1417205532275-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1709754 P/E Ratio 26.890482398956976 Market Cap 1405203752.37823 Dividend Yield 5.818181818181818% Rev. per Employee 27043700 More quote details and news » (ticker: STNG) is the only publicly traded pure-play in this subsector, explains Mavrinac. Jeffries (with a Buy) and Clarkson (Outperform) both rate Scorpio positively, and both give it a target price of $11, a premium to Friday's closing price of $8.47.
Liquid petroleum gas, such as propane and butane, is a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, and is also expected to see increased shipping.
Betting on LPG shipping makes sense for two reasons. First, it's uneconomical to store it in large quantities, writes Natasha Boyden, a New York-based shipping analyst at Global Hunter Securities, in a recent report. If you've got LPG, your either consume it locally, burn it, or get it "shipped immediately," Boyden adds. Second, the U.S. is going to produce a lot of LPGs, thanks to the shale revolution. The ramping up in U.S. crude and natural-gas production due to shale drilling has produced a rise in LPG production.
"U.S. LPG exports are expected to increase with shale oil/gas development," writes Clarkson's Dur in a report from earlier this month.
Growth in the overall fleet of LPG vessels will be substantial. Global Hunter's Boyden projects it to rise 4.8% this year and 4.1% next. But she sees that growth in the fleet balanced by "robust demand growth." Shipping rates should "strengthen somewhat into 2014." She pegs the stock of shipping company StealthGas GASS -2.5503355704697985% StealthGas Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD7.26 -0.19 -2.5503355704697985% /Date(1417201200082-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 96189 P/E Ratio 12.964285714285714 Market Cap 324089883.517838 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 188067 More quote details and news » (GASS) to outperform in this sector with a target price of $12; it closed Friday at $11.66.

'The Gatekeepers': Israel's former security chiefs open up
A movie review of "The Gatekeepers," an Oscar-nominated documentary by Dror Moreh built around revealing interviews with past directors of Israel's counterterrorism agency, Shin Bet, all of whom regret their country's problems achieving peace with Palestinians.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
'The Gatekeepers,' a documentary directed by Dror Moreh. 97 minutes. Rated PG-13 for violence, adult themes. Harvard Exit.
Documentary filmmaker Dror Moreh's Oscar-
nominated "The Gatekeepers" (which lost to "Searching for Sugar Man") opens with aerial views of a targeted assassination somewhere on a street in Israel.
It's the real deal, not a simulation or re-enactment. The stark footage of a man being blown up by remote intelligence forces can't help but strike a chord with recent American concerns about government-
ordered drone attacks in U.S. cities.
The ruthless efficiency of the killing is the handiwork of Israel's counterterroism agency, Shin Bet. What's remarkable about the inclusion of these images in "The Gatekeepers" is that they are accompanied by commentary from someone once very close to this sort of operation: Yuval Diskin, a former director of Shin Bet.
Even more stunning is what Diskin has to say:
Despite the success of such an action, it takes something from one's humanity to make it happen. That's a recurrent, and haunting, theme in Moreh's cinematic confrontation with Israel's long-term failure to be on a path to peace with Palestinians.
Diskin is one of six past directors of Shin Bet interviewed for this film — speaking for the first time ever — about the history of counterterrorism in Israel. Though they display varying degrees of openness, each man expresses regret that the agency's mandate for decades (spying, making arrests, interrogation and assassination), taken with the expansion of Israeli settlements and virulent opposition to negotiations with Palestinians, has, they claim, unnecessarily intensified the rage of an occupied people.
That regret is something to see and hear from these tough individuals, who occasionally had to stand up to hawkish national leaders demanding Shin Bet be even more aggressive and coldblooded. These interviewees tell many stories, including a scandal surrounding the beating deaths of two bus hijackers, the elimination of a terrorist via phone bomb, and Shin Bet's failure to protect Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin from murder by a Jewish extremist.
Whatever one's political stripe regarding Israel, it's hard to dispute the impressions and perspective of the film's six eyewitnesses.

January 20, 2009 3:08 by Linda Heard
If there is a sense of knife-edged anticipation here as to the final shaping of Obama's Middle East policy, it is no less in Israel. It's no accident that the Israeli government picked a pre-Obama window of opportunity to launch its onslaught on Gaza and now seeks any face-saving pretext to scurry out before Obama's daughters get their promised puppy.
We will not have to wait long to discover whether an Obama administration can be an honest broker in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Within the coming days, America's new commander-in-chief will be obligated to speak out on Gaza, which he has so far refrained from doing citing "there is only one president at a time".
Will he stick to the Bush line, which is basically Israel has the right to do anything? Or will he echo what just about every other world leader is saying, including his ally Britain's Gordon Brown, who says Israel has used excessive force during an offensive that has cost too many lives? Let's keep an open mind. Let's reserve judgment. And in the meantime, let's congratulate the American people on their pick and wish Obama well in his new job. Good luck, Mr. President! You're going to need every ounce of it you can get. Please don't let us down!

Reasonably well written Linda. I cant agree with you more when you say let us congratulate the Americans for a good choice. Yes indeed, after such a woeful and miserable second term they gave to Mr Bush.
This world cant be won by any means but love. Obama has shown willingness to tread that route. Now, as he shifts back to Bible, I hope the main character of the Bible, Jesus Christ, inspires Obama to spread love, peace, happiness and friendly attitude around the world. Let us hope that he wins the hearts of the global citizen and stops the bossy attitude of an American. Let us also hope that he spends no time for violence and war and spreads amity among nations. If this is achieved, all else will fall in place.
At the same time, it is not fair for us to hope and need Obama to turnaround a down-in-the-dumps economy so swiftly. He will ultimately succeed no doubt because he has nothing to lose. What he has inherited is a ZERO, if not a BIG NEGATIVE from Bush. I know for sure that Obama cant take it anywhere backwards. Next 4 years will rebuild the world. May Christ help Obama on this path. So,
onward march, get set, GO.

The only thing I ever understood Ron to ask of his supporters to do is follow their individual beliefs. Meaning join the GOP if you feel that is your best step moving forward otherwise follow whatever you feel is the best option for yourself. Be an individual and don't submit to a group think mentality.
