Casting Call: Lil Daggers Seek Girl and Guy for a Music Video About Murder
Well, if you've been dying to die on film (or commit some kind of bloody crime in front of the camera), this might be your big break 'cause local psych-rock creeps Lil Daggers are currently seeking one girl and one guy for a supersecretive music video about murder.
But how does an eager yet inexperienced actor get the gig?
It's easy. The qualifications are lax and expectations are low. According to Daggers guitar guy Jacob Israel, all candidates "should possess sex, and the ability to semi-act" as well as proficiency in Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail. "Basically, anyone who can send an email will probably get the non-paying job," he says.
Successful candidates will only be "asked to either kill someone, or be killed," Israel explains. And they will work with director Michael Ruiz and Daggers singer Johnny Saraiva to achieve a convincing filmic depiction of violent death.
Beyond those meager details, this project is fucking secret.

La Jolla, CA.----Bay Area home sales rose above a year ago for the fifth consecutive month in January. Home buying remained slow in pricier coastal markets but was robust in many inland areas where steep price declines have boosted affordability and, in some cases, driven sales of existing houses to record levels.
The role of foreclosures in the housing market continued to grow, representing 54 percent of the Bay Area homes that resold last month, according to MDA DataQuick, a real estate information service.
A total of 5,050 new and resale houses and condos closed escrow in the nine-county Bay Area last month. That was down 26.7 percent from 6,889 in December but up 40.8 percent from 3,586 in January 2008.
Last month's sales were the third-lowest for a January since 1988, when DataQuick's statistics begin, and 20 percent below the average for the month. January sales have ranged from a low of 3,586 in 2008 to a high of 8,298 in 2005.
Discounted foreclosures have helped fuel the surge in inland resale activity. They've also made it far more difficult for builders to compete with resale prices, helping to explain why sales of newly built homes fell last month to the lowest point for a January since at least 1988, when DataQuick's statistics begin.
Conversely, resales of single-family detached houses hit record levels last month in San Pablo, Richmond, Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley and Fairfield - areas that have attracted bargain hunters with their relatively large price drops and abundant foreclosures.
"One of the most common questions for the real estate pundits is, 'When will things get better in the housing market?' The question comes from the perspective of sellers, the industry, and those concerned about the downturn's impact on the economy," said John Walsh, DataQuick president.
"But from the perspective of a lot of first-time buyers and investors," he continued, "it's clear things have only been getting better for months. It's hard to imagine resale activity getting much stronger in many inland areas, especially if the deep discounts fade as a result of new efforts to stem foreclosures and stabilize prices."
The median price paid for all new and resale houses and condos combined in the nine-county Bay Area fell to $300,000 last month. That was down 9.1 percent from $330,000 in December and down a record 45.5 percent from $550,000 in January 2008.
The January median sale price - the point where half of the homes sold for more and half for less - stood at its lowest since it was $299,000 in December 1999. It was 54.9 percent below the peak median of $665,000 reached in June and July of 2007.
The median has fallen on a year-over-year basis for 14 consecutive months. Its dramatic plunge is partially the result of the regional decline in home values. But the decline also reflects a shift toward more sales in the less-expensive inland markets; slower high-end sales; and buyers' preference for lower-priced foreclosures.
Last month 54.2 percent of all homes that resold in the Bay Area had been foreclosed on at some point in the prior 12 months, up from 50.1 percent in December and 18.8 percent a year ago.
At the county level, foreclosure resales last month ranged from 16.4 percent of resales in San Francisco to 75.2 percent in Solano County. In the other seven counties, January foreclosure resales were as follows: Alameda, 51.9 percent; Contra Costa, 64.4 percent; Marin, 26.2 percent; Napa, 48.1 percent; Santa Clara, 45.6 percent; San Mateo, 34.1 percent; Sonoma, 55.6 percent.
San Diego-based MDA DataQuick is a division of MDA Lending Solutions, a subsidiary of Vancouver-based MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates. MDA DataQuick monitors real estate activity nationwide and provides information to consumers, educational institutions, public agencies, lending institutions, title companies and industry analysts. Because of late data availability, sales in late January were estimated in Alameda and San Mateo counties.
In January, use of FHA, government-insured mortgages allowing a down payment of as little as 3 percent rose to nearly 25 percent of Bay Area home purchase loans. That's a record in DataQuick's statistics and is up from less than 1.0 percent a year ago. At the same time, use of larger mortgages known as "jumbo loans," common in higher-cost coastal neighborhoods, continued to fall. Before the credit crunch hit in August 2007, 62 percent of Bay Area sales were financed with jumbos, then defined as over $417,000. Last month just 16.6 percent of purchase loans were over $417,000.
The typical monthly mortgage payment that Bay Area buyers committed themselves to paying was $1,297 last month, down from $1,471 the previous month, and down from $2,571 a year ago. Adjusted for inflation, current payments are 50.5 percent below typical payments in the spring of 1989, the peak of the prior real estate cycle. They are 63.4 percent below the current cycle's peak in June 2006.
Indicators of market distress continue to move in different directions. Foreclosure activity has waned recently but remains near record levels, while financing with adjustable-rate mortgages is near the all-time low, as is financing with multiple mortgages. Down payment sizes and flipping rates are stable. Non-owner occupied buying activity has edged higher recently and is above-average in some markets, MDA DataQuick reported.

Codemasters has announced a deal with Templar Publishing to release a series of games based on the multi-million selling 'Ology series of faux encyclopedias for the Wii and Nintendo DS late next year. The agreement includes the first three books in the series, Dragonology, Wizardology and Pirateology, with the former expected to ship first in the second half of 2008.
While details are scarce, we know that the Wii version of each title will take a more action-oriented approach to the source material, while the DS will get more 'explorative' games, described by Codemasters as 'interactive books.'
The latter certainly makes sense, though does it strike anyone else as odd that encyclopedias, even fantasy encyclopedias, are being made into action games? The books themselves are really amazing works, but it's anyone's guess how this material will be translated into an interactive format.

Falafel is the ultimate crowd pleasing (vegan) food for every palate. The spices make it flavorful and delicious. The chick peas are chock full of protein. The tahini sauce is savory and tart. The only healthy eating issue with falafel is that it's deep-fried in some not so healthy oil. Baking theses guys off solves that problem. These have all the flavor of falafel without any of the bad fats. It's not possible to recreate that deep-fried crispy goodness when baking something but these have a beautiful texture all of their own. Steve (my often guinea pig) demolished the entire batch – a big fat win in my book. I pair these guys with a simple cucumber and onion salad and top it with a lemon tahini dressing. Makes for a pretty delicious lunch! Ingredients
Falafel patties: Directions Preheat the oven to 425°. Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together and set aside. Add all of the falafel patty ingredients into a food processor and pulse until almost but not quite pureed (there should be no more onion chunks). Make a test ball by taking about two tablespoons of the mixture and see if it easily forms a ball (add more flour if the mixture is too wet and doesn't stick together). Then taking 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture at a time, roll it into a ball and then press it to form nice round mini patties (you want nice flat discs). Repeat with the rest of the mixture. On an olive oil greased baking sheet, bake the patties for 20-25 minutes flipping them once halfway through to get them golden brown on both sides. Combine the cucumber salad ingredients with most of the dressing (reserving some for the falafel patties). Top the salad and patties with additional dressing and garnish with parsley and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately Note: if you want them extra crispy, sear each side of the falafel patties in olive oil or sunflower seed oil for a few minutes in a hot skillet. Then bake them as directed.

Polyphony and accompaniment
In its 21st-century urban and institutional manifestation, folk music is normally performed by singers accompanied by stringed instruments, by instrumental ensembles, or by choruses. By contrast, in its traditional rural venues, most folk music is monophonic (that is, having only one melodic line). Yet polyphonic folk music, with several simultaneous melodic lines, is part of the old traditions in some parts of the world.
Polyphonic vocal folk music is more common in eastern and southern Europe than in western Europe. Styles vary; the simplest include two-voiced structures that use drones (i.e., sustained sonorities) and parallel singing of the same tune at different pitch levels; more-sophisticated styles include choral songs in three or four voices. The round, another polyphonic structure, is found throughout Europe. Many polyphonic singing techniques are used on the Balkan peninsula and in the mountainous parts of Italy. Italian rural polyphony derives from ancient folk practices, medieval church music, and modern urban choral sounds. Heterophony—the simultaneous performance of variations of the same tune by two singers or by a singer and his accompanying instruments—is important in Bulgarian, Serbian, and Croatian song. Parallel singing is the most common type of folk polyphony; parallel thirds—that is, singing the same tune at an interval of a third—are found throughout Europe but are particularly characteristic of Spain, Italy, and the German-speaking and western Slavic countries; parallel seconds, fourths, and fifths are sung in the Slavic countries.
Instrumental polyphony in folk music, sometimes closely parallel to vocal practices and sometimes totally independent, is geographically more widespread than its vocal counterpart. Bagpipes, for example, which use the drone principle, are ubiquitous in Europe. The Croatian oboelike sopila is played in ensembles that practice complex group improvisation; on the double-recorder dvojnice one player can produce two simultaneous melodies. Although Scandinavian vocal music is largely monophonic, complex styles of instrumental polyphony were developed in the repertoires of instruments such as the Swedish nyckelharpa (a type of keyed fiddle) and the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle (which has four melodic strings and four or more sympathetic strings that are not bowed or plucked).
Though all cultures have unaccompanied solo singing, the instrumental accompaniment of melody is widespread as well. Styles of accompaniment in western Europe appear to have changed over the last thousand years. At one time, it seems, simple, dronelike accompaniments were performed by stringed instruments such as harps, zithers, and psalteries. By the 19th century, simple harmonic sequences closely related to the practices of 18th-century classical music came to be used, with a variety of largely plucked instruments, such as mandolins, guitars, and banjos. The popular folk music of modern cities embodies still more-complex harmonic idioms, but the enormous role of guitars in popular music seems to have been a contribution of the folk traditions.
It must be borne in mind that certain cultures, such as the British, the Hungarian, and the Mari people of Russia, who have very little polyphonic folk music, have developed highly complex repertoires of monophonic folk song. The predominance of polyphony does not indicate that the music is somehow more advanced.
Folk music instruments vary in type, design, and origin. Historically and by origin, they can be divided into roughly four classes.
The first group, which consists of the simplest instruments, includes those that European folk cultures share with many tribal cultures around the world. Among them are the following: rattles; flutes with and without finger holes; the bull-roarer; leaf, grass, and bone whistles; and long wooden trumpets, such as the Swiss alpenhorn. These instruments tend to be associated with children's games, signaling practices, and remnants of pre-Christian ritual. They evidently became widely distributed many centuries ago.
A second group consists of instruments that were taken to Europe or the Americas from non-European cultures and often changed. From western Asian predecessors, the folk oboes of the Balkan countries and possibly bagpipes were derived; from Africa came the banjo and the xylophone; and of Central Asian derivation were folk fiddles such as the southern Slavic one-stringed gusla.
The third group of instruments may be the product of village culture itself. An example of those made from handy materials is the Dolle, a type of fiddle used in northwestern Germany, made from a wooden shoe. A more sophisticated one may be the bowed lyre, once widespread in northern Europe but later confined (as the kantele) mainly to Finland.
The fourth group, which is probably of greatest importance, comprises instruments taken from urban musical culture and from the traditions of classical and popular music and then sometimes changed substantially. Prominent among these are the violin, bass viol, clarinet, and guitar. In a number of cases, instruments used in art music during the Middle Ages and later, but eventually abandoned, continued to be used in folk music into the 21st century. Some of these are the violins (e.g., the Hardanger fiddle) with sympathetic strings found in Scandinavia (related to the viola d'amore) and the hurdy-gurdy, derived from the medieval organistrum and still played in France.

Fire at Disneyland Attraction, No One Injured

Features & Advice | Collette | David Cogswell | January 05, 2012
Demand for travel to Cuba continues to far outpace supply as operators continue to try to find ways to meet demand. Dan Sullivan, president and CEO of Collette Vacations, will travel to Cuba on Jan. 18 and attempt to arrange more spaces for the company's new tours to Cuba, which was recently put on the market and sold out within weeks. Collette introduced its first tour of Cuba on Dec. 5, and the tour sold out in four days.
Collette received a license from the Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) that permits the company to run tours built around educational exchange activities in Cuba. Under the authority of the license, clients can legally travel to Cuba with Collette to participate and engage in a schedule of authorized educational exchange activities in Cuba, designed to carry out the Department of Treasury's mandate to offer programs that involve meaningful interaction between Americans and Cubans. Collette launched a program for that purpose called Rediscover Cuba -- A Cultural Exploration designed to focus on the people of Cuba.
"Cuba represents the educational travel opportunity of a lifetime," said Sullivan. "I believe it's a place many American travelers are eager to learn about and the demand we've seen proves that."
Collette's "People to People" license also allows for stays in the cities of Trinidad and Havana. According to Collette's product manager for Cuba, Annette Morejon, the itinerary is designed to feature the country's culture, history and art. "From meeting a Cuban family in their very own paladar (a privately operated restaurant) to visiting an orphanage and meeting the nuns who have dedicated themselves to helping the children, this tour focuses on changing perspectives," said Morejon.
The program will include a chance to learn about the Botanical Gardens of Cienfuegos and their ties to Harvard University, a visit to the Cuban Fine Arts Museum, a meeting with students of a primary school in Havana, a harbor cruise with local fishermen, a stop at the home of Ernest Hemingway to explore his love of Cuba and its people, and a hands-on pottery class at a ceramic studio during which the owners discuss passing down the traditions from generation to generation. "It's all about bringing two cultures together," said Sullivan.
Also continuing to expand its offerings is Ya'lla Tours, which has been offering sanctioned travel to Cuba for nearly a decade. Ya'lla recently unveiled a tour to Cuba to coincide with the planned visit to Cuba in March of Pope Benedict XVI. Ya'lla's A Catholic Journey to Cuba: Following Pope Benedict XVI Pilgrimage to Cuba will take place March 23 to 28. The trip will consist of visits in and around Havana, including time at the Convento de Belen, a world-renowned community center and social services facility which serves Havana's poorest neighborhoods with special focus on the elderly and disabled children. On March 27, the group will attend an open-air Mass with the pope in Havana's Revolution Square.

1. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. These cabinets had been in the house for more than 100 years, so Carla didn't dare mess with them. Instead, she called upon white paint and a thorough hardware cleaning to effect an affordable makeover.
2. The secret to giving a kitchen dinner-party potential? A crowd-pleasing table. "Our friends always hang out in this room anyway," says Carla. So she forewent a diminutive dinette set in favor of this eight-foot-long pine antique, big enough to accommodate plenty of guests. (For similar table, $1,400; ogtstore.com)
3. Go out on a limb with unconventional furniture. Much less expected than chairs, these cypress stools didn't cost a thing. Carla's husband, Chris a pro surfer and brand ambassador for Patagonia scored them in a barter with a woodworker pal, trading a wet suit for the stumps. (For similar stools, $199 each; westelm.com)
4. Vintage appliances offer service with style. A neighbor gifted the Malloys this cast-off 1950s GE refrigerator, as well as an O'Keefe & Merritt stove from the same era (previous slide). "I love the way these look," Carla notes, "and both still work perfectly!"
5. Wood floors evoke a "real room" feeling. Who says kitchens (and bathrooms, for that matter) must include tile? The Malloys' fir floor not only warms up this space, but also visually connects it to the rest of the house.

Uhm, as a seasoned FPV-er let me comment on a few things:
- A 2.4GHz video transmitter will not work with a model that also uses 2.4GHz for control, hence you'll have to use 72MHz. - The system offered here has just 10mW output, hence the maximum range is limited to about 1000-feet. - Replacing the stock antenna on the receiver with a 8dBi flat patch antenna is a must if you want to get acceptable range. - How about FCC certification? FCC rules stipulate a 0dBm output, 10mW is more, 10dBm to be exact. - For that price far better deals are to be had at http://www.nghobbies.com or http://www.rangevideo.com Cheers, Sander. |

I am an early experimenter with this equipment, and I want to tell you, I never achieved this level of quality and reliability of signal. And I had a lot more work into building my own systems, rewiring the video section out of a Sony camcorder, tuning each coil of a home-made transmitter (from a Super Circuits kit) and having to assemble a volunteer crew to point the high-gain yagi antenna, and run the joysticks on the camera platform.

Jul 12, 2008, 01:56 PM | |||
This is a video I just edited some days ago, the best of all my videos since I started flying FPV in november 2006.
It´s not the PilotView stuff but I could have done the same with it, only the pan&tilt mount and the MHT (control of the camera with the head) are an improvement. It´s spanish, but I think it´s easy to understand. If you don´t understand anything, just ask
FPV has so many posibilities I couldn´t list them all here, the PilotView is a GREAT starting point, but that´s only the first step into the FPV world. Then you can add pan&tilt, a HeadTracker, OSD, GPS, return to home systems... And you can use it in a plane, a heli, a car, a quadrocopter... And there are so many options for cameras, tx´s, OSD´s, even the RC systems are becoming numerous, you can use the standard 35/72mhz stuff, the new 2,4ghz or the last 900mhz tx from DMD wich has the record of 17km range There are so many options to fly FPV that choosing may be really difficult, specially for people without experience. That´s the reason the PilotView is a GREAT combo for newbies, it´s all good material, wired up, to make the first plug and play FPV system. I higly recommend it for people who want to try what´s FPV flying but be careful, it´s highly adictive!! Andres |

Sorry for the delay I didn´t receive the notification Thanks The MHT (or any HT that work well) is the best investment you can do for FPV flying, it´s what makes you feel you´re sitted in the cockpit! I couldn´t fly without HT, once you try it there´s no return Do a search for the MagTrack V2 (or v1.2 I´m not sure, it´s the second version). Seems to work like my MHT but much cheaper! Or the Track R2 if you prefer gyro based HT. Do not complain about the price guys, you´ll spend it only once and it´s worth every cent. I´m still flying with my first camera, tx, goggles... and it´s almost 2 years since I started flying FPV. The equipment that is on the plane is much more tough that what you could think, you have to crash really really hard to break anything more than a wire, definitely much more resistant than the plane, battery, servos... Don´t ask how I know it Andrés |

Love the cockpit view in the J3 cub. Nice
Here's my movie that shows all the neat stuff I do with my FPV gear.

Greetings Readers,
This week, our students channeled their inner engineers for a challenging STEM project, created some creative sculptures during Art and spent some quality time catching up with their prayer buddies.

Greetings Readers,
It's safe to say we're back into the swing of things. The students welcomed our Barcelona Exchange students into their classes, received some interesting visitors and engaged in many a fun lesson. Not to mention we were thrilled to be featured in the West Windsor-Plainsboro News' article "Having Faith in a Faith-Based Education" where PASH parent, Megan DeCore, talks...
Happy New Year Readers!
We hope you all enjoyed a happy and healthy Christmas with family and loved ones. As much fun as we had during break, we are excited to have everyone back at school. As we fall back into our PASH rhythm, we will pick up where we left off in this brief issue with a look back at some December holiday activities and a look forward into 2015. Here's to a great start...

Customer Raves & Reviews
Awesome save the date
Marquee Theater Save the Date Magnets This design worked perfect for us. We received several compliments! The quality is great! Could not have asked for more. Quick shipping and pretty packaging too. Will order from this website again.
Beautiful Save the Dates
Waking Beauty Save the Date Magnets I ordered the mini magnet save the dates and couldn't be happier with them. The website is extremely user friendly and has a ton of options to help you customize them exactly the way you want them. They offer a huge range of styles, colors and fonts so you can completely personalize your save the dates exactly to your liking. They also were shipped within 2 weeks of ordering. They are reasonably priced and watch for discount codes on their site and online to save a few extra dollars. I was so happy with the save the dates, I'm considering ordering my inviations from magnetstreet as well. I would definitely recommed this product.
Beautiful, classic magnet
Something Blue Save the Date Magnets The magnet theme was easily adaptable to my wedding's theme. The self-customization to change the colors, text, and sizes was easy to grasp. And whatever I couldn't customize on my own, i left instructions for the very helpful Magnetstreet designer to update, which she did in record time. Great product and service!!! Highly recommended!
Great service. Fun Stuff!
Marquee Theater Save the Date Magnets I ended up needing more than I had anticipated. Magnet Street was very accomadating in getting additional magnets.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

iOS6 XCode 4.5.2
I have a MainViewController which has 5 UIButtons on the left (B1 - B5). In the middle of the Main View Controller, I have a ContainerView. This ContainerView has 5 scenes (the initial scene is also a navigation controller) that I would like to wire up to the 5 UIButtons. When buttons are pressed, I'd like the scenes to open to up inside the container.
Currently when the app runs, I can click the Next button on the initial ContainerView Scene and step through all 5 scenes. I can even come back to the first scene by pressing the Back button step-by-step. However, after wiring up the UIButtons, through the Storyboard, when I click on any the buttons, instead of opening up the scene inside the container, they open up in Full Screen, stacking on top of the MainViewContoller.
When a button is pressed, how can I get the scenes (Scene 1, Scene 2, etc.) to open up inside the container?

YRC Worldwide bondholders approve debt-for-equity swap
- David Twiddy
- Staff Writer
YRC Worldwide Inc. has succeeded in persuading enough bondholders to exchange their debt for a majority stake in the company's shares, wiping almost $500 million in debt from the company's books and staving off a possible bankruptcy filing.
The Overland Park-based trucking and logistics company (Nasdaq: YRWC) said in a release Thursday that it had met the required levels of participation from holders of three kinds of debt by the Wednesday night deadline.
The company had told bondholders that if the deal to exchange up to $537 million in debt failed, its financial position would become unsustainable after the first of the year and it might have had to seek bankruptcy protection from creditors. The exchange allows YRC to defer $19 million of interest and fees that were due Thursday and gives access to a $159.8 million revolver line of credit.
YRC also plans to defer up to $25 million in interest and fees per quarter in 2010. Seven of YRC's nine directors also will be replaced.
"The fact that we were able to get this done after a few extensions puts us on a much more stable financial footing," Bill Zollars, the company's chairman and CEO, said in an interview. "It's a big deal for us."
The company had extended the deadline five times to give it more time to persuade bondholders to tender their bonds.
YRC said holders of two series of notes agreed to tender 94 percent of their holdings, well above the 85 percent required, while holders of a third series agreed to exchange 70 percent of their holdings, meeting the necessary participation. Only 59 percent of those notes had been tendered by the previous Tuesday night deadline.
In total, YRC said bondholders agreed to tender $470 million in debt, or 88 percent. In exchange, those bondholders will receive 37 million shares of common stock and 4.3 million shares of convertible preferred stock, which will represent about 94 percent of the company's shares.
Zollars said that the exchange was hampered by numerous bondholders who had purchased credit default swaps, which would have paid off if YRC hadn't been able to make debt payments.
"Those were the hardest people to deal with," Zollars said. "We had some really good work from our investment bankers and bondholders who had already tendered who went out and bought more and tendered those. This credit default swap issue made it a lot harder than we thought it would be."
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, whose members had agreed to major pay and benefit concessions earlier this year and who worked to persuade bondholders to participate in the exchange, welcomed the news.
"Our members have made tremendous sacrifices in leading the way to make this restructuring possible," said Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa. "Given the circumstances, this is as good of news that we could have hoped for."
Some analysts were impressed YRC had pulled off the swap. Jon Langenfeld of Robert W. Baird & Co. wrote in a research note that "the successful completion of this deal comes as a surprise to the consensus view" and that its success could hurt other players in the less-than-truckload sector who would have benefitted if the market's largest company had folded.
But Lagenfeld said that even with the exchange behind it, YRC still faces a difficult road.
Uncertainty over the debt exchange, which has dragged on for more than a month, led many of the trucking company's clients to flock to competitors, and the less-than-truckload market still is struggling as the sluggish economy has cut the number of shipments.
"Despite prudent moves to manage liquidity amid recent deterioration in volumes and operating profitability, YRCW continues to consume cash from operations, which should continue into (fourth quarter) and (first quarter), historically seasonally weaker quarters for LTL carriers," Langenfeld wrote. "Though we believe a bankruptcy filing is less likely near-term, YRCW's intermediate-term bankruptcy risk remains elevated."
Zollars said he hasn't seen evidence that the U.S. economy is on the rebound and YRC likely won't see an increase in shipments until the seasonal doldrums end in March. But he said the exchange and other management moves and worker concessions should give them more time.
"I think we've done a pretty good job aligning capacity with volume," he said. "I think we're in a relatively good place right now."
During the past year or so, YRC has laid off thousands, shut down facilities, sold property and gotten two rounds of concessions worth roughly $2 billion combined from its union workers. The company, whose revenue dove 45 percent in the third quarter, also has negotiated numerous credit agreement amendments with lenders and gotten pension funds to let it defer, then halt payments.
YRC ranks No. 2 on the Kansas City Business Journal's list of area public companies.

Jacksonville, 22-6 and ranked No. 4 in the latest state rankings, met Hokes Bluff, a team the Lady Eagles had easily beaten in their last two meetings 49-28 and 51-37, in the first round of the area playoffs and couldn't handle what Hokes Bluff Head Coach Jason Shields had planned for them, losing the game 42-39.
Hokes Bluff played a slow down game from the beginning, never allowing the high-scoring fast paced Jacksonville team to control the game.
Shields had his team passing the ball, and passing the ball, and passing the ball until they found an open person charging down the lane or shooting from the outside.
Hokes Bluff was very methodical as they took a first quarter 11-7 lead.
While the Hokes Bluff Lady Eagles slowed down the game, the rims on the backboards at Cherokee County High School seemed to slow down the scoring.
The rims appeared to be tight and unforgiving for both teams and time and time shots ricocheted to the floor.
It was a bad night shooting for both teams. While Hokes Bluff had many open breaks to the basket, the shots never made it into the net. Hokes Bluff shot almost 30 per cent from the floor, connecting on only 8-of-27, a small amount of shots for any game, but the shooting of the Lady Eagles from Jacksonville was even more dismal as they shot only 26 per cent, hitting only 14 of their 55 shots.
Jacksonville controlled the boards, pulling down 42 rebounds to Hokes Bluff's 26, but a stingy and swarming Hokes Bluff defense made almost every shot a difficult one.
In the second quarter Hokes Bluff went up by 13-7, the largest lead for either team of the game, but Sharon Osterbind closed the lead for Jacksonville with a two point shot from the top of the key.
Virginia Poe hit one of her two 3-points shots and Jacksonville was back in the game down only one, 13-12.
Jacksonville took their largest lead of the game, three points, when Kenyatta Ervin connected on a foul shot after scoring a basket and Jacksonville was up 16-13.
