As I write this in the first week of June, an unusual weather system brought rain showers--including thunder and lightning--to Northern California. Despite the area's need for water, the untimely weather was ominous for winegrape growers for multiple reasons. Varieties in some places hadn't finished bloom; high humidity and temperatures in the 70s increased mildew pressure; and possibly most ominous of all: The lightning suggested that last summer's wildfires were not a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Lightning strikes around the summer solstice in June 2008 ignited extensive wildfires in California. Those wildfires wove vast blankets of smoke that smothered vineyards in some regions for days or weeks. Only this spring did winemakers grasp the full extent of the fires. To keep readers up to date on what winemakers can do to offset the effect of smoke, Thomas Ulrich followed up on his groundbreaking story, "A Perfect Storm" (Wines & Vines, January 2009), with a more detailed report.
From my perspective, the climate in California's vineyards is changing just as climatologists have predicted. Not necessarily warming, but turning more extreme, more erratic, with recurring wild weather events that seem to break records every season. If fire and smoke are here to stay, then growers, winemakers, the wine trade and wine media have some learning to do.
It's hard to estimate the extent of the economic damage. I've spoken to vintners who said one-third, one-half, or even all of their 2008 wines were affected. Many had their wines processed to remove the smoke compounds, and I tasted several examples where this worked effectively, but careful winemakers still haven't bottled these lots. They're not sure if the processing will stick, and they don't want to risk overly smoky flavors coming back into their wines after they reach the marketplace.
The smoke poses drastic financial setbacks for vintners, and some have done a drastic selection. No lots with detectable smoke will be bottled. Imagine what your spreadsheet would look like if you lopped 33% or even 50% off your total revenue. Others may sell their processed wines in bulk, but I imagine bulk buyers will be leery. Still others have toyed with bottling special wildfire cuvées.
Winery salespeople will face challenges selling wines from the affected areas. I'm sure the first rule is to not release wine with an objectionable level of smoke. Second, don't bring up the smoke issue; be informed and ready to answer questions when they come.
Wine marketers need to be able to say honestly that their brand did everything it could--and at considerable cost--to deliver a great product despite the worst wildfires ever in California wine country.
The wine trade and wine writers should take the opportunity to educate their customers and readers about the great efforts to which winemakers went to save the public from the smoke. These gatekeepers should take extra care not to paint the vintage with a broad brush. Yes, wildfires were widespread, but only a small minority of wines was affected overall.
Blind tastings with appellations obscured and vintages mixed would be a good way to avoid prejudice when rating '08s from areas where wildfires occurred. If a taster has heard that Region A was smoke-affected, then he or she may be more likely to find smoke when tasting wines from that area.
On the other hand, we hope that members of the trade and press will remember that smoky and sometimes even ashy qualities, when mingled with various other attributes in a balanced wine, can add complexity and make wines more interesting. Do an advanced ratings search on winespectator.com, and you'll find numerous examples of highly rated wines from Italy, California and elsewhere with such terms in the tasting notes.
It is tempting to think of smoke damage as a fluke event that may never recur. But Australian winemakers know better, having dealt with it in 2003 in Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia, again in 2006-07 in Victoria and Tasmania, and a third time with the 2009 bush fires in Victoria. Changing weather patterns could make wildfires more likely to return to California, too, so everyone involved here should seize the opportunity to learn as much as possible from Australia's experiences and our own 2008 trauma.
We urge that everyone down the line be cautious about condemning the vintage, and instead communicate accurately the hardships nature brought to a portion of the California wine industry.
Gatekeepers should not paint the vintage with a broad brush. Wildfires were widespread, but a minority of wines was affected.

"This refreshing soup originates from Spain and is served ice cold. The base of the soup is made with fresh tomatoes, cucumber and peppers. For a smoother soup, puree more than half of the vegetables. If you prefer it chunky - don't puree them at all. It's even better if you can leave this soup overnight to allow the flavors to develop."

Mega Man X Rocks, Man! (Bad Pun, No?) 0
As unholy as this may sound, I'm not a huge fan of the Mega Man games on NES. In my opinion, they were always needlessly made difficult by limited controls and abilities. So, it may come as a surprise that I absolutely love Mega Man X for SNES. I've never played the other installments in the X series, so I'm basing everything on this review on my experiences with this game, alone, as well as how it compares with the installments in the original Mega Man series. In Mega Man X, you play as…Mega Ma...

A great beginning to the 2nd series. 0
Mega Man X can simply be summed up as "balanced." It is a great combination of the difficulty of the original Mega Man/Rockman games while adding a bunch of new features that change the entire gameplay dynamic of the blue bomber. Like the original series you have to fight 8 robots, this time called Mavericks which are based off of animals and are clearly not humanoid and then eventually fight the final boss. This time though you don't fight Dr. Wily you fight a virus named Sigma who has been pla...

Best Mega Man Title 0
With a series so famous for it's platforming and crazy weapons, Mega Man X is by far my favorite of the entire franchise. The game begins simply enough with a tutorial-ish level and just steamrolls into a completely stellar experience from that point on. All the enemies, locations, and bosses are greatly varied and it's set in a way that can makes the game so fast paced that it's just amazing. This game takes everything that made Mega Man so great and just gave it a slicker, smoother way of runn...

He's Mega Man but with ATTITUDE!!!! 1
Let me be clear right from the get go that I love this game. I played this game as a young child many times and even more as an adult, but I will try to give this game a fair and unbiased review... ha yeah right! this game is the greatest thing to come out of Japan sense Japanese people! But I digress... Graphically speaking this game is much prettier than its predecessors on the NES and Mega Man not only has a brand new shiny X but brand new shiny ability's as well.

Faulty 5881 tube ?
Hi, I received today my Onix SP3 and I have a question regarding a 5881 valve.
As you can see on the first picture, the upper "part" seems to be bent Can I switch on the amplifier or the valve has to be changed Thanks |

The upper part is called the getter.
Getter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After construction of the tube, it has no influence on the working of the tube. |

Yes, that's the getter mounting structure, and it does look badly built.
I have seen Chinese EL34s built like this. when one got too hot, the getter arm softened and fell into the 'flags' (grid heatsinks). The getter arm is connected to the anode, so the result was a spectacular BANG! O, look, I found the photo of it! see how the top getter is shorted to grid1 Buy a Russian 5881. They're cheap, reliable, and sound great. |

Thanks for your replies, link and picture
I just switched it on 10 minutes to see if the amplifier works well, but you are right, I won't use it before changing the 5881 tetrodes. Which russian 5881 ? 6P3S-E ? Someone told me that the SED winged "C" 6L6GC is a very good tube, well built, reliable and sound great. |

Actually the weld on the first tube looks better than the second one. Getters don't have to be perfectly straight. In Rod's pic the getter is so close to the grid fins that any expansion of the copper grid support rod could have caused grid cooling fin to getter contact. IMHO you should be fine but if the weld doesn't look good to you, as you are much closer than I, or if it makes you feel better, then by all means you should replace the tube(s)!
I've read that JJ's are good, they do sound good albeit a little forward sounding, but my experience with their E34L's left a bad taste in my mouth. Four tubes with bad welds, one unstable, out of 8 tubes. Went with Svetlana "Winged C" EL34's, going on five years now and no problems so far. I'm very happy with them. |

For the money, the Sovtek 5881WGC (or -WXT) is really hard to beat. Yes, this is the Saratov/Рефлектор 6П3С-Е/6P3S-E. I believe these to be the best made 5881/6L6 equivalents, although I haven't tried any of the fancy reissue variants.
They will sound better than roughly made 5881s, anyway. The sound will depend on the amp as much as anything, but I would use the Sovtek or 6П3С-Е as reference for judging other valves. The SED is popular with guitarists, but that's a different thing, and I would say the extra money is better spent improving the amp's capacitors, for instance. |

Before you run off to ebay to buy hard to find tubes,
check Freeqi Audio Design and TAD Online Store Both chose to profile themselves as musical instrument amplifier/parts shops, but they have the equipment to match pairs and quads the proper way. Save yourself some dissapoinments and buy from them. |

5881 faulty
the shown 2 tubes are 5881 made by shuguang factory, china and then custom branded. They are a bit sloppy manufactured and their getter is always "thin" and a bit transparent. I abiused them with higher screen grid and plate voltages, about 10% higher that rated, but worked fine.but their life, due to little getter and maybe vacuum problems may not be very long.

Thanks all for your inputs.
Correct me if I am wrong but when I see "6P3S-E = 6L6GC = 5881" and specs (anode voltage) between 5881 and 6P3S-E here: TDSL Tube data [5881WXT] 6P3S, 6P3S-E Is the 6P3S-E really a direct 5881 replacement ? 5881 seems to accept more voltage (360V) than 6P3S-E (250V), right ? |

The only way you can stop your idea from being used is to keep it a secret.
The unfortunate truth is that games, like most things, are 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. The people who can build the idea are much more valuable than the person who comes up with ideas, so there's no value in the idea unless you can build it into a game yourself first.
If you're not capable of building it into a game by yourself, then there's not much point in keeping it secret, as it has no value. If you're in that situation you may as well think about how you can get some value out of it, such as using it to increase your reputation as a designer of innovating game mechanics, etc...
This is relevant: http://www.lostgarden.com/2005/08/why-you-should-share-your-game-designs.html
Regarding that article, I invented an original aiming control scheme for FPS games 10 years ago, which I still enjoy using more than the usual mouselook systems that haven't changed from Quake 1 to Call-of-Duty 9... and no one has ever copied it. Maybe I'm just biased and my system isn't actually that good, or perhaps gamers don't like change, or perhaps no game designer ever played my mod to steal it, but for whatever reason, I've never seen this original mechanic copied. So if, 10 years ago, I had simply blogged about my awesome FPS aiming, or I'd not published an implementation of it at all, the world would be pretty much the same place as it is now anyway, except that as is, I've got the experience of having shared my work
Maybe by discussing your idea before you release your game, you'll refine it into an even better idea
And hey, if EA comes out with "[First-Person RPG] 2013" in 6 months and has totally ripped off your idea, at least you can link to that discussion, and say "I was doing FPRPG controls like that before it was mainstream"
Maybe someone else already independently came up with the same idea, and are working on a game that uses it right now -- if you start the discussion about this idea now, then you get to claim that this other person just copied you, whereas if they release first, they'll accuse you of copying them!
Maybe the idea already exists in some obscure game from the 90's that no one played
If you want to make an idea public, but still restrict it from being used, you will need tens of thousands of dollars to draft the idea as a patent (via a reputable and experienced patent lawyer) and register it with all the world's patent offices. Even then, this doesn't stop other people from using the idea -- once they've used the idea, you then have to take them to court for patent infringement, at which point your patent will be tested (and possibly invalidated!), at a huge cost to you and/or the target. You'll also be labelled as a "patent troll" (someone who patents ideas, but doesn't build them, and then tries to profit from the work of others who do actually build things) and universally hated.
Also, it's fairly easy for someone to make some small modifications to your idea to work around the wording of a patent, so that they're not infringing (i.e. so that you lose your lawsuit against them).

by John Pollard A match made in heaven...or Oklahoma Kicker's 40VCWS122 loaded enclosure puts a thumping 12" CompR sub behind your music. The rugged ported box was designed specifically for the sub, so you can count on getting maximum performance, no matter what kind of tunes you enjoy. The specially designed port gives you more bass without sounding sloppy. Hard-hitting CompR sub The 12" CompR subwoofer comes equipped with a tough, polypropylene cone that stays rigid during intense play sessions so you hear accurate bass. A custom-designed back and top plate give the woofer plenty of room to travel, while the durable rubber surround helps to control cone movement during a heavy workout. This sub uses extensive venting in its heavy steel basket to shrug off heat, so you can count on reliable performance. Heavy-duty enclosure Sturdy medium-density fiberboard ensures long-lasting performance from the enclosure, and the special-design side port delivers more bass without getting sloppy. The enclosure's 2-ohm impedance draws maximum power from your mono amplifier. This Kicker will handle up to 500 watts RMS, so make sure you pick an amp that'll make that CompR sub happy.

The advantage to buying an enclosed sub is that the manufacturer made the sub, then designed and built the box as a perfect match, so you'll get the best possible performance. Every enclosed sub has a maximum RMS power handling rating, so pair it with an amp with a similar RMS power rating to get the best performance.
AWESOME!! Written By Shawn, Midland ,TX on Monday, January 27, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I actually ran across this set up at a pawn shop. I looked up the specs on it and thought it should really pound. I bought it at more than a 100 less than you can buy on the internet. I took the sub out of the box and saw that it was set for 8 ohms. Moved it to 2 ohms and boy was I blown away by the bass this puppy puts out! I've got it being pushed by a Alpine MRP-M500 and it just pounds this sub. I'm very impressed! It really shakes all the mirrors and moves my wifes hair while listening to loud bass songs. This is in a Dodge Dakota quad cab with the small seat removed. If you pair this up with at least a 500W amp you won't be dissapointed. Pros: Lots of power. Small form factor Cons: None that I can tell

Overdue & still unsure on names!

Posted in the boys forum too! Im one day overdue with our second child and still dont have a name picked out - We dont know the sex!
We already have a 2year old boy called Taylor John.
Surname is Bryan!
Girls names have been a little easier for us as its been a name we have wanted for years, its a middle name we cant fully agree on!
Leah is definately the first name. Just wondering what people think is best. Were not very outrageous and quite like filler middle names (sorry!)
Here are what we like...
Leah Grace - This is the girls name we had for our son, but alot of people around us have either us have either used Grace or used LG for initials.
Leah Jade - Just seems abit boring
Leah Sophia - I stuck my heels in with this one because i loved it but now im not sure if it sounds too much/too posh!
Leah Kiera - We love both names Leah and Kiera.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated too.
Thanks in advance everyone

Contrarianism And The Danger Of Taking Hugh Hendry's "Blue Pill"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/02/2015 11:32 -0500We will readily admit that one cannot know with certainty whether the bubble in risk assets will become bigger. However, it seems to us that avoiding a big drawdown may actually be more important than gunning for whatever gains remain. We don't think it is a good idea to simply "take the blue pill" and rely on the idea that the effects of the money illusion will last a lot longer. It is possible, but it becomes less and less likely the higher asset prices go and the more money supply growth slows down. If no-one can say when, then the "blue pill" strategy has a major weakness. It means that things could just as easily go haywire next week as next year.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/27/2014 20:20 -0500In some respects we're in danger of running out of appropriate descriptive superlatives for the current bout of "irrational exuberance" (we're open for suggestions). The current asset bubble is in many respects reminiscent of the late 1990s tech bubble, but it also differs from it in a number of ways. One of the major differences is that the exuberance recorded in the data is largely confined to professional investors, while the broader public is still licking its wounds from the demise of the previous two asset bubbles and remains largely disengaged (although this has actually changed a bit this year). Monetary pumping merely redistributes existing real wealth (no additional wealth can be created by money printing) and falsifies economic calculation. This in turn distorts the economy's production structure and leads to capital consumption, thus the foundation of real wealth that allows the policy to seemingly "work" is consistently undermined. At some point, the economy's pool of real funding will be in grave trouble (in fact, there are a number of signs that this is already the case). Widespread recognition of such a development can lead to the demise of an asset bubble as well.

How Far Will the Stock Market Rebound Go?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/20/2014 07:20 -0500In the past few years the stock market has always recovered from corrections to make new highs, and we cannot be sure if the party is indeed over. However, both from a fundamental and technical perspective, the probability that it is over seems quite high. Should market internals and trend uniformity to the upside improve again, this assessment would obviously have to be revised. However, there are surely more than enough warning signs extant now and every financial asset bubble must end at some point.

What If The Easy Money Is Now On The Bear Side?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 08:01 -0500File this under Devil's Advocate: what if the easy money in the stock market is no longer the "guaranteed" Bull melt-up but the Bearish bet on a sudden air pocket? Just as a thought experiment, put yourself in the shoes of the money managers who have the leverage to move the markets.

Retail Investors About To Get Fleeced Again

Is This Decline The Real Deal?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/06/2014 19:46 -0500Is this stock market decline the "real deal"? (that is, the start of a serious correction of 10% or more) Or is it just another garden-variety dip in the long-running Bull market? Let's start by looking for extremes that tend to mark the tops in Bull markets.

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2014 21:03 -0500The 'cash on the sidelines' myth has more lives than a cat. No matter how often the logical fallacy underlying it is pointed out, Wall Street continues to propagate it. Nevertheless, money and credit are of course extremely important factors in the analysis of asset markets. The below provides what are hopefully a few useful pointers as to which data one should keep an eye on in this context.

Celebrating the anniversary of a difficult, middle-aged break up
Two years after the bust up of bust ups, it's no longer time to mourn but to celebrate.
Comments | ? |

Sometimes we celebrate the beginnings of relationships — anniversaries of the day we met (which tends to be a day only women remember), the day we moved in together, the wedding date of course, and any other day when something big and life-altering occurred involving affairs of the heart.
And sometimes we celebrate the ending, for being equally life-altering.
For me, it's been just about two years since the bust up of bust ups, the bloody end of a tumultuous Big Love Affair. Am I celebrating? Yes, I think I am.
There are different kinds of break ups, and breaker-uppers — many of my friends and most of my exes are "resume and replacers," quick to get back on the horse, somehow finding new partners in a heartbeat. Then, there are those who lose themselves in a flurry of work.
And finally, there are those like me, who use a break up as a terrific opportunity to hide under a pile of coats for a very long time. In the movie version, I would be the one who stops answering the phone, lives in her pajamas, develops a close attachment to Ben & Jerry's, and yet still looks cute enough to end up meeting Mr. Right. That, of course, would happen when my funny and less attractive girlfriend, who won't take no for an answer, forces me to put on high heels and get out into the world.
Alas, no such girlfriend appeared and so I stayed in my PJs for a good long time. To the point, in fact, that even my dog wouldn't go for walks with me unless I put a little more effort into my appearance.
The effect of my bust up of bust ups was a kind of short circuiting of the brain such as I hadn't experienced before. Is it age that caused the intense sense of ennui? Was it that "not this again" feeling that sapped all energy for the pursuit of anything, much less love? Or was it the building statistical proof that long and strong relationships might be impossible for me?
On top of everything, for the first time ever, there was also no biological imperative — no subliminal instinct to keep on looking for the father of my unborn children.
For much of the first year After Him, I could barely work and, as a result, had a lot of free time to stare at the walls or maybe have a nice nap. I would occasionally page through a magazine, listlessly of course, and if I saw a picture of Madonna or Jennifer Aniston I would say to myself, "Self, you have enough time on your hands to work out as much as Madonna or Jen do. You could look like Madonna!" And then I would say, "Self, that is true but first you have to watch this TV show."
The television watching was a sign of the short circuit. Obviously, anything like a love story was verboten, which was OK because television shows are usually about crabby wives, hapless husbands and smart-aleck children, not love. Or they are about crime, where if there is love it ends violently. Perfect. I became so addicted to Criminal Minds that I started talking like the members of the FBI's behavioural analysis unit. "Wheels up in twenty," I would say as I tried to leave the house, acting as I if I were preparing to fly to a grisly crime scene aboard the FBI's private jet.
But, for me, all things must come to an end — not just relationships, but also the ennui that comes of just being too tired to try.
On this second anniversary of my break up, there is light and colour in the world once again. No jaunty girlfriend had to turn up to will me back into the world, and there's no Mr. Right, but now I don't expect either of them. This movie can end in a whole different way.
Maybe it's not a rom-com, after all, but rather an adventure story of triumph over adversity. I'd buy a ticket to that.

For the second consecutive year, Manchester City have been drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League last 16. The Spanish giants eliminated Manuel Pellegrini's team at this stage last season, winning 4-1 on aggregate.
Manchester City director of football and former Barcelona player Txiki Begiristain told Sky Sports News:
"Every tie in that draw is the same. It's fantastic, so we're looking forward to it.
"We have plenty of confidence with the way we qualified beating Bayern Munich at home and Roma away, so the players will be working hard to get fit and arrive in confidence for those games.
"We have improved our squad from last season and we have some real quality up front."
In other round of 16 ties, Chelsea will play Paris St-Germain, Arsenal are up against Monaco,
Champions Real Madrid will face Schalke, with last season's beaten finalists Atletico Madrid taking on Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern Munich play Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus face Borussia Dortmund and Basel are up against Porto.
The first legs are scheduled for 17, 18, 24 and 25 February, with the second legs on 10, 11, 17 and 18 March.
Arsenal versus Monaco means a return to the side that Arsene Wenger managed between 1987 and 1994 and who lie sixth in Ligue 1. Asked before the draw about the possibility of playing Monaco, Wenger said:
'I'm not against it at all.
'It would be a visit to my first home. Of course I would love to go there.'
Compared with the heavyweights that Arsenal have met at this stage of the competition the last four seasons, Gunner fans must be delighted at playing Monaco, who are one of the weaker group stage winners.
Chelsea v PSG is also a repeat of last season's quarter-finals which the French side won 3-1 in Paris, only for Chelsea to win the second leg 2-0 at home to advance on away goals. PSG superstar Zlatan Ibrahimović missed the second leg through injury, a big blow that the French side could not overcome.
Chelsea secretary David Barnard said:
"PSG are known to us as we played them in the quarters last year and they've got David Luiz playing for them too.
"It's a good draw logistically too for our supporters. Both sides have very different squads from last year, so if it was PSG or anyone else, it would've been the same situation."

LITITZ, PA. — Cargill will make certification options available to its North American customers for Cargill's Gerkens cocoa powders as well as its Peter's, Wilbur and Veliche chocolate brands. The certification options are UTZ Certified, Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade.
"It means manufacturers will be able to offer products to their consumers with greater reassurance they have been produced sustainably and that they are making a positive difference to smallholder cocoa farms," said Bryan Wurscher, president of Cargill's cocoa and chocolate business in North America.
UTZ Certified stands for sustainable farming and better opportunities for farmers and their families. The UTZ program is designed to enable farmers to learn better farming methods, improve working conditions and take better care of their children and the environment.
Through its mission, the Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior.
Products that bear the Fairtrade logo come from farmers and workers who are justly compensated. Fairtrade helps farmers in developing countries build sustainable businesses that positively influence their communities.
Cargill is training more than 60,000 cocoa farmers in the Ivory Coast and 15,000 more in Ghana. The company is on target to source more than 100,000 tons of certified sustainable cocoa beans from the Ivory Coast by 2015. Cargill is active in other cocoa producing markets, including Cameroon, Brazil, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Dell Special Committee Responds To Icahn's Latest Proposal
The Special Committee of the Board of Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) issued the following statement in response to a letter to shareholders released today by Carl Icahn:
"The Special Committee and its advisors are reviewing the latest concept put forth by Carl Icahn, which is that Dell pursue a self-tender for its shares of approximately $16 billion. This is a further deviation from Mr. Icahn's original proposal of a buyout at $15.00 per share and, assuming all shareholders other than Mr. Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management tender, appears to equate to a dividend of approximately $10.00 per share rather than the $12.00 per share promised by Mr. Icahn in his letter of May 9. Furthermore, as in the May 9 letter, Mr. Icahn's current concept would likely force shareholders to continue to own shares in the highly leveraged company that would result.
Mr. Icahn's concept is not, in its present state, a transaction that the Special Committee could endorse and execute – there is neither financing, nor any commitment from any party to participate, nor any remedy for the company and its shareholders if the transaction is not consummated. In addition, the concept does not adequately address the liquidity issues and other risks the Committee previously highlighted.
More than a month ago, the Committee requested financial and other information from Mr. Icahn and Southeastern in connection with their previous recapitalization idea. Those requests remain outstanding and are equally relevant to this latest concept. The Committee will consider any and all such information provided by Mr. Icahn. However, in the absence of an actionable proposal that would create more value for shareholders, the Special Committee continues to recommend the pending, fully financed $13.65 per share cash sale transaction."

Factors or risks that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results we anticipate include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (2) the inability to complete the proposed merger due to the failure to obtain stockholder approval for the proposed merger or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the proposed merger, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction; (3) the failure to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the debt and equity commitment letters delivered pursuant to the merger agreement; (4) risks related to disruption of management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations due to the transaction; and (5) the effect of the announcement of the proposed merger on the Company's relationships with its customers, operating results and business generally.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
