1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Layne Christensen Company and its subsidiaries (together, the "Company"). Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Investments in affiliates (20% to 50% owned) in which the Company exercises influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for by the equity method. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2012, as filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of the filing of these consolidated financial statements.
Presentation - The Company changed its method of presenting comprehensive income due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income", during fiscal 2012. The change in presentation has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
As discussed further in Note 11, during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company reclassified its Energy Division as a discontinued operation pending its sale, which is expected by the end of the fiscal year.
Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized on large, long-term construction contracts meeting the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 605-35 "Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts" ("ASC Topic 605-35"), using the percentage-of-completion method based upon the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in contract revenues in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, change orders and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Contracts for the Company's mineral exploration drilling services are billable based on the quantity of drilling performed and revenues for these drilling contracts are recognized on the basis of actual footage or meterage drilled.
As allowed by ASC Topic 605-35, revenue is recognized on smaller, short-term construction contracts using the completed contract method. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted construction contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
Revenues for direct sales of equipment and other ancillary products not provided in conjunction with the performance of construction contracts are recognized at the date of delivery to, and acceptance by, the customer. Provisions for estimated warranty obligations are made in the period in which the sales occur.
Revenues for the sale of oil and gas by the Company's Energy Division are recognized on the basis of volumes sold at the time of delivery to an end user or an interstate pipeline, net of amounts attributable to royalty or working interest holders.
The Company's revenues are presented net of taxes imposed on revenue-producing transactions with its customers, such as, but not limited to, sales, use, value-added and some excise taxes.
Oil and Gas Properties and Mineral Interests – The Company has followed the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such capitalized costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells, and salaries, benefits and other internal salary-related costs directly attributable to these activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Normal dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized. Depletion expense was $2,160,000 and $2,070,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In accordance with the guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, the Company will no longer record depletion or depreciation of these assets as they are held for sale.
The Company was required to review the carrying value of its oil and gas properties under the full cost accounting rules of the SEC (the "Ceiling Test"). The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and gas properties discounted at 10%, plus the cost of properties not subject to amortization. If our net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, is in excess of the calculated ceiling, the excess must be written off as an expense. Application of the Ceiling Test requires pricing future revenues at the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, such as fixed-price physical delivery forward sales contracts, when held. Unproved oil and gas properties are not amortized, but are assessed for impairment either individually or on an aggregated basis using a comparison of the carrying values of the unproved properties to net future cash flows.
Reserve Estimates - The Company's estimates of natural gas reserves, by necessity, are projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of gas that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable gas reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies and assumptions governing natural gas prices, future operating costs, severance, ad valorem and excise taxes, development costs and workover and remedial costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected there from may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties and the rate of depletion of the oil and gas properties. Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to the Company's reserves will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.
Goodwill - The Company's impairment evaluation for goodwill is conducted annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the Company's reporting units. Inherent in such fair value determinations are certain judgments and estimates, including the interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, and assumptions about the Company's strategic plans with regard to its operations. The Company believes at this time that the carrying value of the remaining goodwill is appropriate, although to the extent additional information arises or the Company's strategies change, it is possible that the Company's conclusions regarding impairment of the remaining goodwill could change and result in a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.
Intangible Assets - Other intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, customer-related intangible assets and patents obtained through business acquisitions. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 35 years. The impairment evaluation of the carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite lives is conducted annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired.
Other Long-lived Assets - Long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets and the Company's gas transportation facilities and equipment, are reviewed for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include but are not limited to the following:
The Company believes at this time that the carrying values and useful lives of its long-lived assets continue to be appropriate.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company's cash equivalents are subject to potential credit risk. The Company's cash management and investment policies restrict investments to investment grade, highly liquid securities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Restricted Deposits - Restricted deposits consist of escrow funds associated with acquisitions.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable - The Company makes ongoing estimates relating to the collectability of its accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, and also considers a review of accounts receivable aging, industry trends, customer financial strength, credit standing and payment history to assess the probability of collection.
The Company does not establish an allowance for credit losses on long-term contract unbilled receivables. Adjustments to unbilled receivables related to credit quality, if they occur, are accounted for as a reduction of revenue.
Accrued Insurance Expense - The Company maintains insurance programs where it is responsible for a certain amount of each claim up to a self-insured limit. Estimates are recorded for health and welfare, property and casualty insurance costs that are associated with these programs. These costs are estimated based in part on actuarially determined projections of future payments under these programs. Should a greater amount of claims occur compared to what was estimated or costs of the medical profession increase beyond what was anticipated, reserves recorded may not be sufficient and additional costs to the consolidated financial statements could be required.
Costs estimated to be incurred in the future for employee medical benefits, property, workers' compensation and casualty insurance programs resulting from claims which have occurred are accrued currently. Under the terms of the Company's agreement with the various insurance carriers administering these claims, the Company is not required to remit the total premium until the claims are actually paid by the insurance companies. These costs are not expected to significantly impact liquidity in future periods.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, customer receivables and accounts payable, approximate fair value at July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012, because of the relatively short maturity of those instruments. See Note 4 for disclosure regarding the fair value of indebtedness of the Company, Note 5 for disclosure regarding the fair value of derivative instruments and Note 7 for other fair value disclosures.
Litigation and Other Contingencies - The Company is involved in litigation incidental to its business, the disposition of which is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in the Company's assumptions related to these proceedings. The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and a minimum amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. To the extent additional information arises or the Company's strategies change, it is possible that the Company's estimate of its probable liability in these matters may change.
Derivatives - The Company periodically enters into hedge contracts, which are recorded at fair value, related to certain forecasted foreign currency costs which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, such that changes in fair value for the effective portion of hedge contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity, until the hedged item is recognized in operations. The ineffective portion of the derivatives' change in fair value, if any, is immediately recognized in operations. In addition, the Company may enter into fixed-price natural gas contracts to manage fluctuations in the price of natural gas. These contracts would result in the Company physically delivering gas, and as a result, are exempt from the requirements of ASC Topic 815 under the normal purchases and sales exception. When in place, the contracts are not reflected in the balance sheet at fair value and revenues from the contracts are recognized as the natural gas is delivered under the terms of the contracts (see Note 5 for disclosure regarding the fair value of derivative instruments). The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Share-based Compensation - The Company recognizes all share-based instruments in the financial statements and utilizes a fair-value measurement of the associated costs. As of July 31, 2012, the Company had unrecognized compensation expense of $6,280,000 to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years. For all share-based awards granted after February 1, 2012, the Company determines the fair value of share-based compensation granted in the form of stock options using a lattice valuation model. Previously, the Black-Scholes model was used. The Company believes the lattice valuation model will produce a more accurate valuation of its compensation grants as it incorporates additional parameters of grants. The change did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Unearned compensation expense associated with the issuance of nonvested shares is amortized on a straight-line basis as the restrictions on the stock expire, subject to achievement of certain contingencies.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided using the asset/liability method, in which deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. Provision for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates is made only on those amounts in excess of funds considered to be invested indefinitely. In general, the Company records income tax expense during interim periods based on its best estimate of the full year's effective tax rate. However, income tax expense relating to adjustments to the Company's liabilities for uncertainty in income tax positions is accounted for discretely in the interim period in which it occurs.
The Company's estimate of uncertainty in income taxes is based on the framework established in the accounting for income taxes guidance. This guidance addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions that meet this recognition threshold, the Company applies judgment, taking into account applicable tax laws and experience in managing tax audits and relevant accounting guidance, to determine the amount of tax benefits to recognize in the financial statements. For each position, the difference between the benefit realized on our tax return and the benefit reflected in the financial statements is recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet. This liability is updated at each financial statement date to reflect the impacts of audit settlements and other resolution of audit issues, expiration of statutes of limitation, developments in tax law and ongoing discussions with taxing authorities.
As of July 31 and January 31, 2012, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded was $15,904,000 and $13,322,000, respectively, of which substantially all would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not expect the unrecognized tax benefits to change materially within the next 12 months. The Company classifies uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities unless expected to be paid in one year. The Company reports income tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. As of July 31 and January 31, 2012, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest and penalties included in the balance sheet (recorded in other accrued expenses) was $9,147,000 and $6,810,000, respectively.
Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding. Options to purchase common stock and nonvested shares are included based on the treasury stock method for dilutive earnings per share, except when their effect is antidilutive. Options to purchase 1,400,216 and 1,108,766 shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. A total of 661,091 and 329,977 nonvested shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. Options to purchase 370,433 and 290,433 shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive. A total of 193,688 nonvested shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, as their effect was antidilutive.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information - The amounts paid for income taxes, interest and noncash investing and financing activities were as follows:
During the six months ended July 31, 2011, the Company deferred $1,700,000 debt issuance costs against the borrowing capacity of its $300,000,000 credit facility. These costs will be amortized over the life of the credit facility agreement. See Note 4 for further discussion of the Company's credit facility agreement.
New Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs" ("ASU 2011-04"), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance as of February 1, 2012, which did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2. Acquisitions
Fiscal Year 2013
On May 30, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of Diberil Sociedad Anónima ("Diberil"), a Uruguayan company and parent company to Costa Fortuna (Brazil and Uruguay). We expect Diberil to expand our geoconstruction capabilities into the Brazil market as well as serve as a platform for further expansion into South America. The aggregate purchase price for the remaining 50% of Diberil of $16,150,000 was comprised of cash ($2,422,000 of which was placed in escrow to secure certain representations, warranties and indemnifications). The Company acquired the initial 50% interest in Diberil on July 15, 2010. In accordance with accounting guidance in moving Diberil to a fully consolidated basis, the Company remeasured the previously held equity investment to fair value and recognized a loss of $7,705,000 during the period. The fair value of the 50% noncontrolling interest was estimated to be $15,794,000 at the time of the adjustment. The fair value assessment was determined based on various valuation techniques, including our current transaction, adjusted for an assumed control premium.
Acquisition related costs of $228,000 were recorded as an expense in the periods in which the costs were incurred. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, using the Company's internal operational assessments and other analyses, which are Level 3 measurements. The purchase price allocation is provisional pending completion of further valuation analyses. Revisions will be recorded by the Company as adjustments to the purchase price allocation.
Based on the Company's preliminary allocations of the purchase price, the acquisition had the following effect on the Company's consolidated financial position as of the closing date:
The $4,555,000 of goodwill was assigned to the Geoconstruction Division at the time of acquisition. The purchase price in excess of the value of Diberil's net assets reflects the strategic value the Company placed on the business. The Company believes it will benefit from synergies as these acquired operations are integrated with the Company's existing operations. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The Diberil purchase agreement also provided for a purchase price adjustment based on the levels of working capital and debt at closing. The adjustment resulted in an additional purchase price of $2,323,000, which will be paid during the quarter ending October 31, 2012.
The total purchase price above consists of the $16,150,000 cash purchase price, the $2,323,000 purchase price adjustment, and the $15,794,000 adjusted basis of our existing investment in Diberil.
The results of operations of Diberil have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations commencing on the closing date. Including its consolidated and equity basis results, Diberil contributed $2,258,000 and $4,190,000 of income before income taxes during the three and six months ended July 31, 2012, respectively, compared to $799,000 and $925,000 for the three and six months ended July 31, 2011, respectively.
Assuming the remaining 50% of Diberil had been acquired at the beginning of each period, the unaudited pro forma consolidated revenues, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share of the Company would be as follows:
On March 5, 2012, the Company acquired the remaining shares in Layne do Brazil, which were previously held by noncontrolling interests. The shares were acquired for cash payments totaling $2,743,000. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company eliminated noncontrolling interests of $87,000 and recorded an adjustment to equity of $2,656,000 in accordance with ASC Topic 810.
Fiscal Year 2012
On February 28, 2011, the Company acquired the Kansas and Colorado cured-in-place pipe ("CIPP") operations of Wildcat Civil Services ("Wildcat"), a sewer rehabilitation contractor. The acquisition furthered the Company's expansion and geographic reach of its Inliner group westward. The aggregate purchase price for Wildcat of $8,855,000 was comprised of cash ($442,000 of which was placed in escrow to secure certain representations, warranties and indemnifications).
The purchase price allocation was based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, using the Company's internal operational assessments and other analyses, which are Level 3 measurements.
Based on the Company's allocations of the purchase price, the acquisition had the following effect on the Company's consolidated financial position as of the respective closing date:
The $2,318,000 of goodwill was assigned to the Water Infrastructure Division at the time of acquisition. The purchase price in excess of the value of Wildcat's net assets reflects the strategic value the Company placed on the business. The Company believed it would benefit from synergies as these acquired operations were integrated with the Company's existing operations. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The results of operations for the acquired entity have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations commencing on the closing date. Revenue and income before income taxes for Wildcat since its respective closing date were not significant. Pro forma amounts related to Wildcat for prior periods have not been presented since the acquisition would not have had a significant effect on the Company's consolidated revenues or net income.
In fiscal year 2011, we acquired certain assets of Intevras Technologies, LLC ("Intevras"). In addition to the Intevras cash purchase price, there is contingent consideration up to a maximum of $10,000,000 (the "Intevras Earnout Amount"), which is based on a percentage of revenues earned on Intevras products and fixed amounts per barrel of water treated by Intevras products during the 60 months following the acquisition. In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company treated the Intevras Earnout Amount as contingent consideration and estimated the liability at fair value as of the acquisition date and included such consideration as a component of total purchase price. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that the Company could be required to make under the agreement is between $0 and $10,000,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was estimated by applying a market approach. That measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, also referred to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include a discount rate of 41.2% and an estimated level of annual revenues of Intevras ranging from $1,500,000 to $6,100,000. As of July 31, 2012, the Intevras Earnout Amount was reassessed and, based on our estimates of the likelihood of future revenues subject to the earnout provisions, assigned no value.
3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets consist of the following:
Total amortization expense for other intangible assets was $1,865,000 and $874,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $2,577,000 and $2,456,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The carrying amount of goodwill attributed to each operating segment was as follows:
4. Indebtedness
On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into a private shelf agreement (the "Shelf Agreement") whereby it can issue $150,000,000 in unsecured notes before July 8, 2021. No unsecured notes have been issued under the Shelf Agreement as of July 31, 2012. The Company issued $20,000,000 of notes under a previous shelf agreement in October 2004 ("Series B Senior Notes"). The Series B Senior Notes had a fixed interest rate of 5.40% and the final payment of $6,667,000 was made on September 29, 2011.
On March 25, 2011, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") which contains a revolving loan commitment of $300,000,000, less any outstanding letter of credit commitments (which are subject to a $100,000,000 sublimit). The unsecured $300,000,000 facility extends to March 25, 2016, and replaces the Company's prior credit agreement, which was terminated. The Credit Agreement was entered into to extend the expiration period of the Company's debt facilities and increase borrowing capacity. The Company funded $1,700,000 of debt issuance costs through borrowings under its Credit Agreement. These costs will be amortized over the life of the agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for interest at variable rates equal to, at the Company's option, a LIBOR rate plus 1.25% to 2.25%, or a base rate as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus up to 1.25%, each depending on the Company's leverage ratio. On July 31, 2012, there were letters of credit of $22,713,000 and borrowings of $107,000,000 outstanding on the Credit Agreement resulting in available capacity of $170,287,000.
The Shelf Agreement and the Credit Agreement contain certain covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, investments, acquisitions, transfer or sale of assets, transactions with affiliates, payment of dividends and certain financial maintenance covenants, including among others, fixed charge coverage and leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company must maintain a minimum tangible net worth under the Shelf Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of July 31, 2012, and expects to remain in compliance through the term of the agreements.
Debt outstanding as of July 31, 2012, and January 31, 2012, whose carrying value approximates fair value, was as follows:
5. Derivatives
The Company's Energy Division is exposed to fluctuations in the price of natural gas and periodically enters into fixed-price physical delivery contracts to manage natural gas price risk for a portion of its production, if available at attractive prices. As of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012 the Company held no such contracts.
The Company has entered into physical delivery contracts in order to facilitate normal recurring sales with our natural gas purchasing counterparty. As of July 31, 2012, the Company had committed to deliver a total of 1,104,000 million British Thermal Units ("MMBtu") of natural gas through October 2012. The contract price resets daily based on a weighted average price of the reported trades for deliveries on the following day.
Additionally, the Company has foreign operations that have significant costs denominated in foreign currencies, and thus is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At any point in time, the Company might use various hedge instruments, primarily foreign currency option contracts, to manage the exposures associated with forecasted expatriate labor costs and purchases of operating supplies. As of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012 the Company held no such contracts.
6. Other Income, Net
Other income, net consisted of the following for the three and six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011:
On March 21, 2011, the Company sold its operating facility in Fontana, California, with the intent of acquiring and relocating to a new facility. In the interim until a new facility can be purchased, the Company entered into a leasehold agreement of the existing facility. The total gain on the sale of the facility was $6,354,000, of which $1,379,000 was deferred to match the expected lease payments under the leasehold agreement. The deferred gain will be recognized over the 36 month term of the lease. The proceeds of the sale of $9,000,000 were placed in a restricted escrow fund for purposes of purchasing the new facility. During September 2011, the escrowed funds reverted to the Company and a new facility was purchased for $8,756,000.
7. Fair Value Measurements
The Company's estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in the valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are listed below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company's financial instruments held at fair value are presented below as of July 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012:
8. Stock and Stock Option Plans
The Company has stock option and employee incentive plans that provide for the granting of options to purchase or the issuance of shares of common stock at a price fixed by the Board of Directors or a committee. As of July 31, 2012, there were 464,740 shares which remain available to be granted under the plans as stock options. The Company has the ability to issue shares under the plans either from new issuances or from treasury, although it has previously always issued new shares and expects to continue to issue new shares in the future. For the six months ended July 31, 2012, the Company granted 110,958 restricted shares which, in general, ratably vest over periods of one to four years from the grant date.
The Company recognized $2,277,000 and $2,228,000 of compensation cost for these share-based plans during the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $953,000 and $685,000, respectively, related to nonvested stock. The total income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation arrangements was $888,000 and $869,000 for the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
A summary of nonvested share activity for the six months ended July 31, 2012, is as follows:
Significant option groups outstanding at July 31, 2012, related exercise price and remaining contractual term were as follows:
All options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. The weighted average fair value at the date of grant for the options granted was $10.98 and $18.70 for the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value was based on an expected life of approximately six years, no dividend yield, an average risk-free rate of 1.31% and 1.84%, respectively, and assumed volatility of all options outstanding are expected to be 55%. The options have terms of ten years from the date of grant and generally vest ratably over periods of one month to five years. Transactions for stock options for the six months ended July 31, 2012, were as follows:
The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the difference between the current market price and the exercise price for only those options that have an exercise price less than the current market price.
9. Investment in Affiliates
The Company's investments in affiliates are carried at the fair value of the investment consideration at the date acquired, plus the Company's equity in undistributed earnings from that date. These affiliates are engaged in mineral exploration drilling, infrastructural construction and the manufacture and supply of drilling equipment, parts and supplies.
Financial information of the affiliates is reported with a one-month lag in the reporting period. The impacts of the lag on the Company's investment and results of operations are not significant. Summarized financial information of the affiliates, including Diberil and its subsidiaries up to the date of acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest, was as follows:
10. Operating Segments
The Company is a global solutions provider to the world of essential natural resources – water, minerals and energy. Management defines the Company's operational organizational structure into discrete divisions based on its primary product lines. Each division comprises a combination of individual district offices, which primarily offer similar types of services and serve similar types of markets. Although individual offices within a division may periodically perform services normally provided by another division, the results of those services are recorded in the offices' own division. For example, if a Mineral Exploration Division office performed water well drilling services, the revenues would be recorded in the Mineral Exploration Division rather than the Water Resources Division.
During fiscal year 2012, the Company changed its reporting segments in connection with the transition to new leadership, reporting relationships and our new One Layne strategy. The Company previously reported segment information under three reporting segments including the Water Infrastructure Group, Mineral Exploration Division and Energy Division. The Company's reporting segments now include the Water Resources Division, Inliner Division, Heavy Civil Division, Geoconstruction Division, Mineral Exploration Division and Energy Division. The reporting segment information for prior periods has been recast to match the new reporting segment structure. As discussed in Note 11, the Energy division is now considered a discontinued operation and excluded from the Company's segment disclosures. The Company's segments are defined as follows:
Water Resources Division
The Water Resources Division provides every aspect of water supply system development and technology, including hydrologic design and construction, source of supply exploration, well and intake construction and well and pump rehabilitation. The division also brings new technologies to the water and wastewater markets and offers water treatment equipment engineering services, which supports the Company's historic municipal business, providing systems for the treatment of regulated and "nuisance" contaminants, specifically, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic, radium, nitrate, perchlorate, and volatile organic compounds. The Water Resources Division provides water systems and services in most regions of the U.S.
Inliner Division
The Inliner Division provides a diverse range of wastewater pipeline and structure rehabilitation services with a focus on our proprietary Inliner® cured-in-place pipe ("CIPP") which allows us to rehabilitate aging sanitary sewer, storm water and process water infrastructure to provide structural rebuilding as well as infiltration and inflow reduction. While we focus on CIPP efforts, we also provide a wide variety of other rehabilitative methods including Janssen structural renewal for service lateral connections and mainlines, slip lining, traditional excavation and replacement, U-Liner high-density polyethylene fold and form and a variety of products for structure rebuilding and coating.
Heavy Civil Division
The Heavy Civil Division provides and oversees the design and construction of water and wastewater treatment plants, as well as pipeline installation. In addition, this division designs and builds integrated water supply and wastewater treatment facilities and provides filter media and membranes. These services are also provided in connection with collector wells, surface water intakes, pumping stations and groundwater pump stations. We also design and construct biogas facilities (anaerobic digesters) for the purpose of generating and capturing methane gas, an emerging renewable energy resource.
Geoconstruction Division
The Geoconstruction Division provides specialized foundation construction services that are focused primarily on soil stabilization and subterranean structural support during the construction of dams/levees, tunnels, shafts, water lines, subways, highways and marine facilities. Services offered include jet grouting, structural diaphragm and slurry cutoff walls, cement and chemical grouting, drilled piles, vibratory ground improvement and installation of ground anchors.
Mineral Exploration Division
The Mineral Exploration Division conducts primarily aboveground drilling activities, including all phases of core drilling, reverse circulation, dual tube, hammer and rotary air-blast methods. Our service offerings include both exploratory and definitional drilling. Global mining companies hire us to extract samples from sites that the mining companies analyze for mineral content before investing heavily in development. We help them determine if there is a minable mineral deposit on the site, assess whether it will be economical to mine and to assist in mapping the mine layout. Our primary markets are in the western U.S., Mexico, Australia, Brazil and Africa. We also have ownership interests in foreign affiliates operating in Latin America that form our primary presence in this market.
Other includes our Layne Energy Services initiative of expanding water related services to the energy markets and any other specialty operations not included in one of the other divisions.
Financial information for the Company's segments is presented below. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily consist of general and administrative functions performed on a company-wide basis and benefiting all segments. These costs include accounting, financial reporting, internal audit, treasury, corporate and securities law, tax compliance, certain executive management (chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and general counsel) and board of directors. Corporate assets are all assets of the Company not directly associated with a segment, and consist primarily of cash and deferred income taxes.

ABC News' John R. Parkinson (@JRPabcDC) reports:
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spoke with a handful of reporters as he was leaving the Capitol to head to the White House for the congressional leadership's 6:00 p.m. meeting with President Obama Sunday night to report on the progress (or lack thereof) on bipartisan negotiations to increase the debt limit.
Cantor reacted to the House Speaker John Boehner's announcement Saturday evening that the two sides are unlikely to come to an agreement on the so-called "grand bargain" that he, President Obama and the rest of the leaders have been striving to achieve.
"I'm just looking forward to making some progress here. I mean, this is serious stuff," Cantor, R-Va., said. "We have got to be able to deliver on this promise, that we are going to get more cuts that what we raise in terms of the debt ceiling, and make sure that gets done with no tax increases."
Saturday night Boehner seemed to indicate leaders would have to settle for a scaled-back package, stating that "the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase."
The "big" deal that leaders had been working on lately would have cut at least $4 trillion over 10 years. Republican aides say that the Biden talks "identified $2-2.5 trillion in cuts."
Asked whether he and the speaker are on the same page regarding the state of negotiations, Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the House of Representatives, pushed back on the implication that the two were out of sync and said the recent developments to settle for a smaller package of spending cuts are a result of the Democrats insistence to raise tax rates.
"We're in exactly the same place. We are and we have been," Cantor said of Boehner. "He's never said he's for tax increases, and the White House just proved that in order to do what it was that we want to do, to restructure the entitlement picture in terms of the fiscal soundness, they need tax-rate increases and we're not for that, so the speaker is exactly where I am. We need 218 votes to pass this thing and I'm hopeful we can go to the White House right now and see if we can get there."
Cantor added that "traditionally it's always been the president and his party that have increased the debt limit" and said that Republicans have negotiated in good faith with Democrats.
"We have demonstrated a commitment to sit down with them. We have," he said. "I have personally sat down with the vice president for the last six and a half, seven weeks and I think have a blueprint on the table upon which we can build and again deliver on the commitment that we're going to cut more than that which we raise the debt ceiling and do so without raising taxes."

AtM – "A Night Like This"
February 18th, 2013 by NattyGTonight (2/18) we have a stack session with a St. Louis hip-hop duo you should know by now– AtM (pronounced "atom"), whose mixtape "A Night Like This" dropped last August, are one of the more well-known local hip-hop acts in this city, and if you don't know them yet, then now is the time. Tune in at 10pm tonight for something very special.
You can get the mixtape here: http://atmmme.bandcamp.com
Their soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/a-t-m-3
Upcoming shows:
2/21: w/ G-Eazy at Old Rock House
3/2: at The Demo
In the meantime, here's something that resembles an album review.
If I had a time machine, I can think of about a thousand things I might try to do with it, but one of them would involve going back to the starstruck conversation I never thought I'd be having in March of 2012, with a well-known rapper, who asked me what I knew about the St. Louis hip-hop scene; to which I reluctantly told him if there was indeed someone or something spectacular coming out of St. Louis these days, I hadn't heard it yet.
As it turns out, there was (and still is) something spectacular here, and if I hadn't been living under a rock at the time, I would have said to keep an eye out for A Night Like This, AtM's first mixtape, which dropped last August. I would have said what I shouted last October at the Gramophone, drowned out by the noise of a crowd, when I first saw AtM live: "These kids can actually rap."
Amir and Malcolm have a natural and comfortable vocal pairing; they bounce off each other with ease. Sometimes their music plays a fluid game of compare-and-contrast: frenzied/calm, smooth/jagged. A Night Like This starts off with the kind of track that punches you in the face– "Year 1," backed by a beat of epic proportions, a sweeping Michael Franco production that throws you headlong into the tape, and as Amir rips through the first verse, it's obvious that AtM is not playing around. They're lucky enough to have several instances of Michael Franco's production on here; sometimes the only word truly capable of describing Franco's standalone beats is "gorgeous." (Michael Franco, another St. Louis musician, is one half of Franco-Hill, and if you catch an AtM live show you could easily be blessed by their musical backing. The other half, Jeff Hill –also AtM's music director– is unbearably talented on the drums; you'll hear him referred to as "The Best Drummer in St. Louis." The music they make as Franco-Hill is incredible and their chemistry is unmatched, but that's another review altogether.)
(It's just like this, no need to fight it/ Invite it/Try me out, you just might like it)
It's no surprise that when AtM breaks out "That Woman" at a live show, the crowd can't help but sing along with the hook of what is probably their most well-known track– it's a rich soulful song with a complex set of verses, and the beat is downright irresistible. Probably the most interesting thing about A Night Like This is that it retains a unifying sound while the actual experience of listening can be all over the map– "Hero Troubles" is relentlessly emotional; "Odd Motivation" is dark, soulful, oddly rhythmic; "You Take Up 95% of My Brain" is far more lighthearted– like "Time Machine," it's catchy as all hell and solidifies these MCs in my mind as two twenty-year old men who deserve serious credit for the music they make, and deserving of the affections of various unnamed women they're rapping about. Amir and Malcolm's flows can blend seamlessly with all different types of beats, but they also work well with a range of topics and emotions; listening to this mixtape will make you want to know them, and by the end of it, you'll feel like you do, to some degree.
This is hip-hop that takes itself seriously, as hip-hop should. The music feels genuine, heartfelt. These boys are young, but I don't bring that up for the usual reasons– they don't try to cover subject matter that's beyond their scope. Their content is age-appropriate, but handled with a surprisingly tongue-in-cheek sense of humor– the everyday struggles of young men are illuminated by a remarkable maturity, and it's obvious they have room to grow, both for themselves and their music. In this case, that's a good thing.
It's the plague of young MCs (think Joey Badass) that no matter how talented they are, they've either got nothing to say or lack emotional maturity, and eventually end up spitting what sounds like the same old verse, packed with nifty little jokes and similes. With AtM, this is not my concern– like all young men, they have emotional depth and complexity; unlike all young men, they're good at talking about it without sounding corny. Their talent isn't wasted on clever throwaway rhymes and regurgitated attitudes and attributes drawn from raps of old; they use their considerable abilities to create something new. Listening to A Night Like This, you are made to understand that creating music is a thoroughly personal process, not merely producing something for others to consume–whether you're scribbling or spitting or just sitting with the music and spending time with it, it is a process that involves growth and furthering your understanding. You can tell that their next project could very well sound completely different from A Night Like This but still sound like AtM, and that by then, they will have matured somewhat, without falling off.
St. Louis has been hungry for this, for kids who can actually rap. And they have been here for twenty years, calmly waiting to blow up.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Chipper Jones had imagined many times what it would be like to have his No. 10 hanging on the upper-deck facade at Turner Field, alongside the likes of Hank Aaron's No. 44, Dale Murphy's No. 3 and Greg Maddux's No. 31. He won't have to wait much longer.
The Braves announced Tuesday they will retire Jones' jersey and induct him into their team Hall of Fame on June 28.
"It's a tremendous honor," said Jones, an eight-time All-Star and 1999 National League MVP. "There's a lot of great names, lot of great numbers up there on that façade, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't dream about one day trying to get No. 10 up there. This morning it comes to fruition. So it's a very proud day for myself and my family. Kind of lets us know that all those mornings, afternoons and evenings on the fields in Pierson, Fla., paid off."
Before retiring after the 2012 season, Jones became one of the most recognizable figures in Atlanta while playing his entire 19-year career for the Braves. He finished with a .303 batting average, .401 on-base percentage, 468 home runs and 1,623 RBIs, statistics that could earn him first-ballot selection to the National Baseball Hall of Fame when he's eligible after a five-year waiting period.
The only switch-hitter in major league history to have at least a .300 batting average and 300 home runs, Jones won the 2008 NL batting title with a .364 average at age 36.
"Just kind of a wave of emotions comes over you," he said of hearing the news. "You always dream about that stuff. When it actually comes true, there's just this wave that comes over you, kind of disbelief and reflection of, where has it all gone? It happened so quick. It's 19 years, but it seems now like it went by in a flash.
"But I guess what we all want to do is try and leave our mark. This is certainly a good indication that you left your mark."
His number will be the 10th retired by the Braves during a presentation prior to the June 28 game against Arizona at Turner Field. He'll be inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame during a luncheon that day at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.
Jones ranks first on Atlanta Braves franchise career lists in 11 offensive categories, and second in eight others.
"Chipper was a Brave from the beginning to the end of his career and his legacy will forever live in our record books," Braves president John Schuerholz said. "There is no greater honor that we can bestow upon him than to induct him into our Hall of Fame and retire his iconic number 10."
The Braves have previously retired the jerseys of Aaron, Murphy, Maddux, Eddie Mathews (41), Phil Niekro (35), Warren Spahn (21), Tom Glavine (47), Bobby Cox (6) and John Smoltz (29). All major league teams also retired No. 42 to honor Jackie Robinson.
Jones, who'll be 41 in April, has been at Braves spring training this week for a three-day stint as a guest instructor. He said the experience had only reinforced his feelings that it was time to retire and never play again.
"I don't have any visions of grandeur, coming back in June, July, August, September," he said, quashing any speculation that he might be coaxed into a midseason comeback. "Honestly, I've put the cap on it and closed it tight. It's not opening back up.
"I'm all right with it. As far as the accolades and whatever comes after you get done playing, that's really out of my control. My motto in life is don't worry about things you can't control. What I can control is the resume that I put up, and that's over."
Jones said he would miss being around the guys and especially playing the games. But not the preparation that went into getting ready to play, especially after all the injuries and surgeries, including two knee surgeries in the past two years.
"I thought this week would be tough," he said. "But I stand out there while they're taking ground balls and I don't really miss it. I'm standing behind the cage watching them face live pitching, I see someone hit a ball off the end of the bat and I know how that feels; your fingers just completely go numb. And I don't miss that. And when they're conditioning at the end of the day and they're running and they're huffing and puffing, I don't miss it.
"I miss the camaraderie with the guys, with the coaches. I miss the everyday banter. And I'd be lying if I wasn't going to miss the 7-10 (p.m.) when the games start. It's all the other stuff that you have to endure during the course of a season that I'm over. So, like I said, I'm OK with it. I've come to grips with it."
Tickets will be available for the June 28 game beginning Monday at www.braves.com/tickets, the Braves ticket office at Turner Field, at any Ticketmaster outlet, or by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000. Individual tickets for the Braves Hall of Fame luncheon and induction ceremony are available at braves.com/tickets. For tables of 10, or for more detailed information, please call 404-614-2310.

anyone know of any walmart ilo dvr reviews?
I don't see anything on this site. Try a google search, I'm sure it will turn up something for you. Robin
I see nothing but very unhappy reviews of their products, I would say it's a fair bet they aren't all that, course as I always say, you get what you pay for. Especially with products like this, saving $13 or $37 by getting a wally world brand is prolly not worth it

The second, and no less important motive, was to bring in senior people who could act as mentors to the many World Bank professionals who work across the world. In absolute numbers, the program is small. A handful of people are expected to be recruited over the next year in areas that include land reform, climate change, education, health systems and financial crisis issues, among others.
Professor of energy Daniel Kammen of the University of California, Berkeley, was the first such appointment to be announced in September. His mandate is to be the chief technical specialist for renewable energy and energy efficiency.

By Melanie Gerlis. Web onlyPublished online: 22 January 2014
The London Art Fair, despite being in its 26th year, continues to divide opinion—not least because the fair's organisers seem still to be struggling with its identity.
This year's event (held at the Business Design Centre, 15-19 January), suggested a return to its 20th-century, British art roots with a well-received booth at the fair's entrance dedicated to "Barbara Hepworth and the development of British Modernism", which was curated by Frances Guy, the head of collection and exhibitions at The Hepworth, Wakefield.At the same time, newer art, on offer for under £10,000, is increasingly becoming this fair's raison d'etre—and accounts for the majority of sales. The professional, middle-market buyers, who have been largely absent since the economic crisis hit in 2008, seemed to be back this year and this fair suits them well. "There are too many fairs that target the same few collectors, whereas the bulk of buying is more at this level," said John Martin, the London contemporary and modern art dealer. He sold several editions from Rory Carnegie's "Port Meadow dogs" series of photographs (after 2010), for £2,800 each.Other dealers were also quick to praise the often-overlooked local buyer. "You may not get the mind-blowing installations or performance pieces at this fair, but people come here to buy and we need to sell," said Olivia Wright, the manager of London's Pertwee Anderson & Gold gallery, who had done well with playful works by Nancy Fouts—an artist who currently has a display in the window of the flagship Selfridges department store. Editions of her Eve & Eve, 2014 were popular, and selling for £2,700 each.The fair's exhibitors certainly know their customers. Prices were clearly displayed in many of the booths—a rarity at higher-minded trade events and a welcome change. Several dealers brought smaller works, in keeping with a clientele that is looking for works to live with rather than display. Jack Bell, London's leading African contemporary art dealer, presented what he called a "salon hang wall" of small works by six of his artists that proved popular. Several works on paper by Aboudia, an Ivory Coast artist, sold for around £2,000 each.This art fair is never going to win over those looking for consistently high-quality art or a luxurious environment in which to view it (the Business Design Centre seems to get shabbier every year). But buyers with a budget should get what they are after. "You needed to look a little harder again this year for quality works," said Mervyn Metcalf, a London-based investment banker, who managed to find two such photographs priced at £250 each by Chloe Rosser, one of the 2014 Catlin Guide's promising art school graduates.The most out-of-character booth came courtesy of the newcomer Whitestone Gallery, which had come from Tokyo with a stand dedicated to the Gutai group and with works priced up to £1m. Artists such as Chiyu Uemae and Kazuo Shiraga vied for attention with the British modern artists at the fair's entrance. And Uemae's Untitled, 1978-79, priced at around £70,000, sold at the fair, according to Minako Ishii, Whitestone's international sales representative.

Hey everyone. I've had my 05 Taco since Feb 2005. It took me MONTHS for it to come in, and it wasn't even special order!
I came back because recently I bought a VW Golf TDi and have been heavily participating in the forums. I've decided that if I'm going to do any ECU/tuning to the engine that I should wait until the warranty is past.
However, on my Taco, it's definitely past the warranty and at 84,000 miles I'd like to get better fuel economy out of it so I decided to head back to the Taco forums. I have memberships (well, they're probably deleted by now) at some other forums but found this one quickly and decided to give it a shot.
So, if anyone can point me to the thread about ECU/chip tuning before I find it myself, I would appreciate it!
Also, has anyone EVER hit 20 mpgs on the highway in an 05+ model, 6 speed manual, double cab, 4WD? I think the highest ever in the almost 6 years of ownership was around 19.9. In the last couple years it's been 19.1. I drive anywhere from 65-80 on the highway, but usually around 70-75.

From 'Hunger Games' to 'Call Me Maybe,' how athletes sell Olympic sports (+video)
Athletes at the London Games don't just have to be world class, they often have to be salesmen for sports that slip into obscurity after the Olympics are over.
Charles Dharapak/AP/File
Tim Morehouse recognizes that most of America doesn't care about his sport. He just refuses to accept it.
To say that Morehouse is a fencer is vast understatement. He is nothing less than a zealot of his sport – a man whose silver in the men's team saber in Beijing gives only the smallest indication of what he is to fencing in America. In the five-ring circus that is the Olympics, Morehouse is the P.T. Barnum of the fencing piste.
He has written a biography titled (of course) "American Fencer," which is really more about how totally awesome fencing is than about Morehouse himself. He wants to write another book on the history of American fencing, enthusing to the media with the hint of a suggestion: Did you know The New York Times had a fencing beat writer in the 1920s?
Before coming to London, he fenced Boston Mayor Tom Menino at a Olympic sendoff event, successfully winning the promise: "You win the gold medal, I'll have a party for you in the city of Boston, at City Hall Plaza." Then he went to New York, where he ran the fencing tournament he singlehandedly conceived and created, and which received national television coverage and sold out 2,500 tickets at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like [sniffing, pondering] victory.
Someday this war's gonna end…
-Robert Duvall (Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore)
I've recently learned from several MBAs graduating in 2010 about firm signing bonuses. They are being paid out unusually early.
I have been wondering why.
The FOMC's Zero Interest Rate Policy has been a license to print money — literally for the Fed, and figuratively for the major banks.
Being able to borrow at near zero costs means that making billions of dollars is a no brainer, even for some of the planet's most mismanaged bankers.
Banks are so flush, they have been repaying TARP funds, buying out toxic debt guarantees, and repurchasing preferred shares and warrants.
The most recent hint of their overflowing coffers are the class of 2010 hires. Traditionally, these new employees receive their sign on bonuses sometime in the spring. Some start work that summer; most (at least in my day) begin in September, following one last drunken promiscuous binge through Europe (Ahhh, youth).
I was surprised to learn that several firms, most prominently JPMorgan, are paying out their signing bonuses over the next few weeks.
Its not too hard to imagine why.
I doubt pending legislation has much to do with it, but who knows. Given how much cash they are throwing off, my best guess is they are trying to spend as much of it as possible in the current tax year.
The crisis, the bailouts, the obscene amount of taxpayer monies that have been usurped and wasted. One is reminded of Colonel Kilgore's speech in Apocalypse Now: While Duvall's famous Napalm line gets quoted all the time, it is that last wistful sentiment that is really is the most poignant — and relevant — to the present license to steal.

Have you seen this sign?
POSTED: Thursday, March 28, 2013 - 2:34pm
UPDATED: Friday, March 29, 2013 - 10:25am
Tyler, TX (KETK) — KETK has received reports of signs around Tyler that read "It's Time!" But, what does it mean?
After some digging, we have an answer for you!
The sign stands for, "It's time for 21st century schools in Tyler!"
These signs have been placed throughout the city in support of the passage of the Tyler ISD bond in the May 2013 election.
Proposed projects for the $160.5 million bond are:
New Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center - $33.5 million
New Middle School - Three Lakes Site - $31.5 million
New Middle School - Current Boulter Site - $31.5 million
New Middle School - Current Moore Site - $31.5 million
Remodel/Additions - Rice Elementary School - $16.0 million
- Remodel/Additions - Dixie Elementary School - $16.5 million
Meanwhile, those against the bond have argued the money is better spent elsewhere.
"Before putting a lot of money in buildings we need to put the money into these kids in such a way that the results come out where the tests scores are raised and the quality of the education that they are receiving is shown by the way the compete with others who are in other systems," said Nile Smith, a local pastor against the bond.
Tylerites will vote on the bond May 11.
Comments News Comments
I know there are teachers in TISD that can teach effectively. Many do the best they can with what they've got. Can some teachers do better? Absolutely! Can students do better? Yes! But let's get rid of portable buildings & overcrowding, offer up to date resources and technology, safer & more secure buildings,how about a Career &Technical Education center for high school students that offers opportunities to further their education or prepare them for the workforce. These are our future leaders!
They better start teaching the 3 R's in the schools they have now instead of building more schools to teach nothing useful in. How many high school graduates do we have right now that can't count back change from a $20.00 dollar bill for something that costs $7.39, a heck of a lot more than we did 25+ years ago when 7th & 8th graders could do it.
Yea it's 'time' to go in debt to our noses in this economy.
I say hell no.
I think it would be appropriate if the faculty and administration in these schools demonstrate that they can teach effectively before we blow $160.50 million dollars down the drain. This is like saying that we should pay teachers more and they will get better. No they will not. Demand accountability from these schools and those who run them. Nile Smith, you are absolutely right except that you think putting money into kids will help. DIRECT INSTRUCTION, DIRECT INSTRUCTION, DIRECT INSTRUCTION

I'm using LectureNotes for... everything ^^ but lately I can't get any custom pattern to display within the app. The pattern is still here when I export to pdf, but not in the pattern preview, nor in the notebook itself.
I'm not sure what is wrong. The custom patterns I used before don't display anymore, when I "run" the compiler, I get a blank page, no matter what I do. The templates also get displayed as blank paper (but export properly to pdf)...
My Galaxy Note 8010 is rooted but has been for a while, and the pattern still worked after rooting the device. I would say the patterns stopped displaying beginning of April. At least I remember using them successfully until then.
Any idea?

MORE INFORMATIONThe GUID of a network adapter may change when you upgrade a computer to Windows Vista. The GUID may also change if the network adapter's configuration changes from Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to static IP and then from static IP to DHCP.

In this situation, the authoritative zone on a DNS server is populated with both IP addresses that are not valid and IP addresses that are valid.
A DNS server cannot distinguish between IP addresses that are valid and IP addresses that are not valid. Therefore, when a DNS server responds to queries from client computers, the server may distribute an IP address that is not valid.
