Loss-making Zain Saudi , Saudi Arabia's No.3 telecoms company, launched a $1.6 billion rights issue on Tuesday to boost its balance sheet and help it fight back against rivals.
July 11, 2012 11:46 by Reuters
Loss-making Zain Saudi , Saudi Arabia's No.3 telecoms company, launched a $1.6 billion rights issue on Tuesday to boost its balance sheet and help it fight back against rivals.
The group will use about $200 million of the share issue to repay part of a $2.6 billion Islamic loan that matures in July, top executives at the company firm told Reuters.
Most of the remainder will be spent on repaying founding shareholders and improving Zain Saudi's network.
"We are exploring options with the bankers, either to replace the facility immediately once it becomes due or have the facility extended for a short period," said Khalil Fawaz, Zain Saudi's chief financial officer. "An extension means we will have more time to finalise all the documentation. The new facility is expected to be for $2.4 billion dollars."
Zain has mandated five banks to refinance the rest of this facility.
Zain Saudi, in which Kuwait's Zain holds 25 percent, has yet to make a quarterly net profit nearly four years after launching services. It shares slumped to a record low this week as investors unwilling to subscribe to the rights issue sold to avoid holdings being diluted.
Kuwait's Zain will meet any shortfall in rights issue take-up by investors, so its 25 percent stake may rise.
Zain Saudi plans to use some of the proceeds to win back customers from better-resourced rivals Saudi Telecom and Etihad Etisalat (Mobily).
The group, which had debts of 22.9 billion riyals ($6.11 billion) at the end of March, will also use 2.54 billion riyals of the rights issue to convert loans from founding shareholders into equity.
About 1.1 billion riyals will be used to expand Zain's network and reduce its reliance on network roaming agreements with rivals to provide coverage in certain parts of the country.
"The interconnection cost will decrease significantly," said Fawaz. He did not reveal what percentage ofZain Saudi's coverage was provided by other operators.
This is central to Zain's attempt to arrest its falling mobile subscriber market share, which has declined from 18 percent in 2009 to 12 percent in 2011.
"The short-term strategy is to improve our operational performance as well as enhancing our product and services portfolio … that will last maybe 12 months," said Chief Executive Fraser Curley. The main challenge after that was to meet or exceed network coverage, quality and product and services of competitors, he said.
Curley said Zain Saudi had a long-term target to reach a 30 percent market share and said he would be "disappointed" if the company failed to break even by 2015.
The rights issue follows Zain Saudi's capital restructuring last week which cut the group's capital to 4.8 billion riyals from 14 billion to alleviate accumulated losses, which topped 10 billion riyals at the end of March.
"The capital restructuring just makes Zain Saudi a going concern again – it's unlikely to be profitable for years because it still needs to spend billions on infrastructure – if it doesn't beef up its 3G services it can't win market share," said Amine Bentaleb, director of asset management at Arqaam Capital in Dubai.

Fishermen Benefit From Clean-Plate Fine
By editor
Originally published on Fri February 15, 2013 8:39 am
Good morning, I'm Linda Wertheimer.
Clean your plate. You heard that from your mom. Now a restaurant in Sapporo, Japan says that to its customers. If you order their signature dish, it's all you can eat - a bowl of rice topped with salmon roe - you must eat it all or pay a fine, which goes to hardworking fishermen. But one server says that hardly ever happens because most diners clean their plates.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Be Proud CFCC
Submitted by taxpayer (not verified) on Wed, 10/15/2008 - 5:46pm.
CFCC should be proud and honored to host a Presidential candidate, don't you think. This was great recognition for the college, which usually is overshadowed by the huge presence, and ego, of UNCW. Think beyond your parking space, and be proud. By the way, my tax dollars are paying the lion's share of your education, and that includes parking, son.

DETROIT (AP) — Felix Hernandez couldn't recall struggling to throw strikes as much as he did early on Wednesday night.
That's probably because Hernandez walked three in the first inning for the first time in his major league career.
DETROIT (AP) — Felix Hernandez couldn't recall struggling to throw strikes as much as he did early on Wednesday night.
That's probably because Hernandez walked three in the first inning for the first time in his major league career.
Seattle's ace got out of that jam unscathed, allowed only a run in seven innings and the Mariners beat the slumping Detroit Tigers 9-1.
"This is not a good lineup to get behind in the count," Hernandez said. "But then I started to get lucky."
He also was pretty good.
Hernandez (2-1) gave up a solo homer to Brennan Boesch in the third — and not much else. The right-hander yielded four hits and all of his free passes were in the first.
Rookie Alex Liddi gave Hernandez enough run support by himself.
Liddi hit a two-run homer in the third inning to chase the first of two pitchers with a swing of his surprising bat. His second homer in as many days ended Adam Wilk's night after he got just six outs. Liddi's single in the sixth loaded the bases and finished rookie reliever Thad Weber.
Collin Balester induced three flyouts, but walked in a run to make it 9-1.
"It feels good to hit the home runs, but winning both games makes it better," Liddi said.
Seattle has won two straight after losing four in a row.
The Tigers have lost five of six after starting 9-3.
"People are beating up on us — and enjoying it," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "Sooner or later, we'll get tired of it. None of us are doing enough good things right now."
Wilk (0-3) allowed six runs and eight hits in just two-plus innings. The rookie gave up just two runs in each of his first two starts. He was sent to Triple-A Toledo after the game and Brayan Villarreal was called up to take his place on the roster. Leyland said he didn't know who would take Wilk's spot in the rotation Monday against Kansas City
Hernandez got out of his only jam in the first inning. He got Alex Avila to ground out to second baseman Dustin Ackley, who bobbled the ball, but scooped it up and threw to first in time to get the slow-footed catcher to strand three runners.
"He was good when he needed to be," Leyland said. "We had a chance to get him in the first inning, and we didn't take it. You aren't going to get many chances against him."

As a New Englander, I've seen the nasty effects of the collapse of fisheries on the life of seaside towns," says thesp and conservationist Sam Waterston, who recently testified on Capitol Hill on the effects of ocean acidification. "Whether this capping effort works or not, the after-effects of this spill in the Gulf are going to be felt for a long, long time to come." Waterston serves on the board of the nonprofit Oceana. Founded in 2001, it is the largest org focused solely on ocean conservation. "The lesson that Oceana would like people to take away from this catastrophe is that there is no such thing as a technology that is failure-proof," says the actor. "For the time being we need that oil. But this should be the moment to definitively change course. As a country, we need to recognize that the costs of carbon fuels to the environment are too high." "I really do hope that this catastrophe will galvanize people into action," Waterston emphatically concludes. "If people, instead of shaking their heads and being sad about it, were making a noise in D.C., things would move along a lot faster. They would." For more information, visit oceana.org.

Each spring, NCAWA's Judicial Division hosts the Women Judges Forum at many of North Carolina's law schools.

The purpose of the forum is to encourage female students to consider the judiciary as a career choice. The judges, mostly from the North Carolina Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, speak candidly about the barriers they faced as they aspired to office and how they overcame them, especially in the days before many women lawyers served on the courts.

Also known (at least until a certain authoress sets her lawyers on them) as the Hogwarts School of Grid-Down Medicine. We've always been interested in field medicine. It's a basic fact that SF guys don't work alone; along with the indispensable weapons men, and the sometimes indispensable team leader and team tech, there are four other enlisted specializations on the team, all of which come in handy sooner or later: engineering, communications, operations and intelligence, and, last but definitely not least, medicine. An SF medic has trained, and once he's been around for a few years, practiced, medical treatment of his team, his indigenous troops, and often local civilians (and their livestock) in the operational area. He has become an artist; his paints are an aid bag and a sharp, developed mind, and his canvas is the sick or wounded human body. He also takes on the thankless task of training his team's cognitively-challenged bullet-launcher operators, mad demolitionists, nerdy radio hams and vainglorious officers how to keep one another alive if he and his Junior Medic get hit by the proverbial crosstown bus.
The guys who write for this site (frequent commenter, and nearly as frequent SoCal job hunter, Aesop may be joining them soon) remind us of those dedicated medics who taught us how to bring a patient back from death's door — and made us show them we were paying attention, with live patients. They know where the bodies are buried, as the saying goes, sometimes because their error put 'em there. And they know triage in a way you don't "know" it until you've lived it: when to take their time, when the Reaper has hounded them into an all-out effort, and when efforts are futile. And they express this with the wit and sturdy black humor for which the profession is noted (see the bottom entry under "Irreversible shock" below).
The site is clear, thorough, and opinionated in a good way. (Hint: Jenny McCarthy will not like their opinion of her personal quest for the Ignoble Prize for Medicine. "Field medicine" doesn't need to include arrant quackery. Nay, it needs not to).
Emergency medicine today is highly developed and systematized, and they've given a lot of thought to what from this system works in an off-grid situation, and what doesn't.
One of the most intriguing things we saw here was a post (promising more to come) on manufacturing insulin in austere conditions. The glowing example is a refugee couple who rolled their own whilst besieged in Shanghai during World War II.
Another is this post about the Shelf Life Extension Program. It's long been an open secret that we in SF, like many missionary and other austere-medicine groups, use medications past their expiration date. (We're also kind of anal about how we store them… lots of environmental things, like UV light, can kill meds). And there's a great post about cold weather and hypothermia — it's simple basics, but a young woman just died an hour from here, for want of simple basics. The whole site is strongly recommended.

ACE Fit Share
January 23, 2014
According to the late Stephen Covey, one of the seven habits of highly successful people is to plan your work and work your plan. Almost nowhere is this more important than in the gym. If you go to the gym without a specific plan, chances are you'll just wander around trying a little of this and a little of that without accomplishing anything that will lead to lasting changes.
While an exercise plan is essential, it doesn't need to be overly complicated and certainly doesn't even need to involve a lot of different equipment or doing a number of exercises for individual muscles. In the past few years, many strength and performance coaches who work with top athletes have starting applying the KISS method: Keep It Simple Stupid. And, because they work with folks who exercise for a living, it's probably not a bad idea to follow their lead.
If your primary goal for exercise is weight loss, remember that muscles use oxygen to help fuel contractions. The body expends approximately 5 calories to use 1 liter of oxygen; therefore, the more muscle tissue involved in an exercise program, the more calories burned during a workout. If the goal is to do an efficient and effective workout in a limited amount of time, it should include movement-based exercises that involve a number of joints and muscles simultaneously. The more muscles and whole-body movements you use during a workout, the higher your caloric expenditure.
Based on these considerations, here are five exercises that should be included in every workout:
1. A hip-dominant exercise. Examples: glute bridge, squat, deadlift, lunge, step-up
There is one thing that most top athletes and dancers have in common: a well-shaped behind. The reason is that the hips are one of the most mobile joints in the body and the gluteus maximus (aka butt, rear-end or booty) muscles that control that mobility are responsible for generating strength and power, which is then used by all other segments in the body. Exercises that engage the muscle mass around the hip will develop functional strength, shape and sculpt this highly visible muscle and help burn more calories during the workout.
2. A plank or one of its many variations.
The body is organized into two primary segments: upper and lower, which are connected via the spine and trunk muscles. Planks, and their many variations, are an important exercise for creating stability in the muscles around the spine that link the upper and lower body. The cool thing is that the core muscles that connect the upper and lower body act as a corset; if they get stronger, they can actually help your stomach become flatter. When doing a plank it's important to keep the hips and shoulders at the same height so the spine is in a relatively neutral position. Once you master the basic plank (holding it for 45 seconds or longer without dropping your hips), you can progress to one of the more challenging variations, which can involve movement of the hips or shoulders while maintaining a stable spine.
3. Pulling movements. Examples: bent-over row, pull-up, chin-up, TRX row
Chances are that you spend at least a portion of your day using a computer or mobile device. Whether we are sitting at a desk or using a tablet, most of us have a habit of slouching forward, which can cause the shoulders to internally rotate. Try this: Sit up nice and tall, raise your right hand in front of your body as high as you can; now slouch and try the same thing. When we slouch we limit the space in our shoulder joint that allows easy, efficient overhead movements. Doing pulling exercises with a tall spine and a neutral (palms facing each other) or supinated (palms up) grip places the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder in an externally rotated position, which helps alleviate pressure in the joint that occurs as a result of sitting at a computer all day. Make sure to add one or two pulling movements to each workout (standing exercises, like the bent-over barbell or TRX row are particularly beneficial).
4. Overhead lift while standing. Examples: standing barbell press, push press
Other than certain weight machines or seated dumbbell presses, how many times do you find yourself having to lift something over your head while in a seated position? Here's another question: How many times do you lift something overhead with your elbows out to the side (in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions)? The shoulders are most effective during overhead movements when the elbows are pointed toward the front of the body (the 11 and 1 o'clock positions), which allows the "cup" of the shoulder blade to properly move and stabilize the "ball" of the humerus (upper arm bone) when your arm is moving overhead. Doing an overhead press while standing allows you to engage and use the muscles that connect your hips to your trunk, if you're seated, these muscles are not involved and you lose the opportunity to burn a few extra calories. Whether you use a barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells or medicine balls, lifting something heavy overhead can help you develop strength from the ground up through hips and trunk and out through the upper extremities.
5. Explosive movements. Examples: jumps, medicine ball throws, explosive lifts: power clean, push press, snatch
This isn't a specific exercise, but refers to the tempo or speed of an exercise movement. Muscles are enveloped and connected via elastic connective tissue called fascia. When fascia is rapidly lengthened it stores mechanical energy, which is then released during the shortening phase. Think of fascia like a rubber band—the more quickly it is lengthened, the more explosive it is when released. Overall, this action expends more energy, helps the fascia become more resilient and can, after a period of time, help create a more youthful muscle structure. However, don't just jump right into explosive movements (pun intended) for a lot of repetitions. Start with smaller movements for one or two sets of three to four repetitions before increasing intensity by changing exercises and number or repetitions.
There you have it, five exercises that are the foundation of any exercise program. The following sample workout demonstrates how to organize these exercises into a time-efficient program that can help you see results. If you want to learn a program that you can do on your own, we recommend working with an ACE-certified Personal Trainer or taking classes with an ACE-certified Group Fitness Instructor.

Meanwhile, members of the Bharatiya Janata Party staged demonstration here condemning the incident.
Calling for expediting the case, they also demanded that DMK MLA A.M.H. Nazeem retract his statement casting aspersions on the gang-rape survivor or face legal action.
