text: HomeFilmBox Office Japan seeks rev boost from exports Email Print +Talk +G+ +Tweets October 3, 2010 | 05:00AM PT Budget allocation would promote entertainment abroad Brett Bull Tokyo fest takes populist tack | Tokyo Film Festival honors Bruce Lee | Tokyo Project Gathering ups profile | Japan eyes rev boost from exports While Japanese cultural exports have been popularized overseas in recent years, such content has not been as lucrative as it could be, and the government is moving to do something about it. Under the catchphrase "Cool Japan," the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will request $22.4 million in next year's governmental budget to promote design, manga and pics outside Japan. METI's Creative Industries Promotion Office believes it can triple sales of cultural content products overseas to $25 billion in 10 years. Concrete details for the initiative have not yet been established; market research is ongoing. A METI report from July notes that Hollywood currently shows great interest in Japan — pics like "Shall We Dance?" and "The Ring" have been remade, and others highly commended, such as "Departures," last year's foreign-language Oscar winner — but thus far the financial return has been lacking. "Japan is now a focus of interest for many people around the world," says Masakazu Maeno, a representative from the promotion office. "Yet we have not been able to make a profit from that interest, and we need to develop a mechanism to do so." METI's Media and Content Industry Division collected data from China and found that of the 10 most popular manga titles, nine were Japanese, including the long-running pirate adventure "One Piece" and ninja series "Naruto." Troubling for METI is that only 5% of revenue for manga comes from international sales. "The study showed that manga is well received overseas," explains Yoko Ikeda, a representative of the division. "But the percentage means that we are not utilizing this success." Promoting Japanese content in bundled form is not new for METI. The Japan Intl. Contents Festival (CoFesta), now in its fourth year, is an umbrella organization that brings together 17 confabs taking place across Japan over three months. It kicked off with the Tokyo Game Show last month and will include the Tokyo Intl. Film Festival this month. CoFesta also held a special exhibition at the Shanghai World Expo 2010, where it exhibited Japanese music, fashion and 3D animation. But many have been expressing a need for more support. At a September press conference prior to the unspooling of "Kyoto Story," Yoji Yamada's latest pic for studio Shochiku, co-helmer Tsutomu Abe indicated that the time is now for government action, saying that opportunities are lacking for Japan's new generation of filmmakers. "How to nurture the next generation of talent is a question," he said of the pic, which utilized film students from Ritsumeikan U. during production. "Hopefully, the government will start supporting films like this one." METI may now be listening more intently. "In order to bring our 2020 goal to fruition," Ikeda says, "we have to conceptualize a vision and work with our creators and producers directly."

Reuters wins 'most ridiculous headline of the week' award
**Written by Doug Powers
It's only Monday, so it's a bit soon to declare a "most ridiculous headline of the week" winner, but I'm going to do it anyway:
Alternate headlines: "Catholic leader says something Catholic-sounding" — or — "Media outlet, in forced attempt to make Pope seem liberal, sensationalizes papal norm."
Replace "Pope" with "Wendy Davis" and then Reuters would have had a shocking headline.
Reuters has revised the headline: "Pope, after conservatives' criticism, calls abortion "horrific"
If anything that's a little more ridiculous.

Saints' D, Jets' offense on the spot
Overshadowed in the big picture, both units must deliver in conference title games
Originally Published: January 19, 2010By Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
As the ugly stepsister units from among the league's final four, the New York Jets' offense and the New Orleans Saints' defense must play respectably in the conference title games on Sunday for their teams' seasons to continue into Super Bowl XLIV.
Ranked 20th in the league in total production during the regular season, despite ranking No. 1 in rushing, New York's offense is the only one still playing that was ranked outside the top 10 in the regular season. And although the Saints were ...

I suggest looking at Washington Rules for Superior Court (Civil Rules) 11 and 65 [CR 11, CR 65]. I highly recommend discussing this further with a lawyer practicing in your county.
I an licensed in Idaho and Washington, but barring unusual circumstances, an attorney representing the LLC entity would not be able to represent a "single member" due to potential conflicts of interest. Therefore, if the intent of your question is to pursue a claim against the LLC entity, yes, a "single member" would need a different attorney. But, simply to proceed as a member in the everyday course of LLC business, there is not an inherent need to representation.

John Heimbuch and Jon Ferguson collaborate on this version of Washington Irving's ghostly and oddly romantic story.
Brant Miller, Ryan Lear, Joanna Harmon in Walking Shadow Theatre Company's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
Photo: Eric Melzer ,
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has more of a natural resonance with Halloween — with the headless horseman, the ghosts, the spooky nighttime walks along country lanes. Walking Shadow Theatre Company, however, will open its new production on Saturday, just in time for Valentine's Day. Imagine the challenge for marketing geniuses:
"He was the schoolteacher, a gangly and bookish outsider who just wanted to be loved; she was the loveliest lass in the valley; he was the town bully determined to thwart his rival. See what happens when this star-crossed love triangle plays out in the romantic woods of the Hudson Valley."
Well, I tried.
John Heimbuch, Walking Shadow's co-artistic director, wrote this adaptation of the Washington Irving story through a collaboration with the cast and director Jon Ferguson. The show had its first go at the Jon Hassler Theatre in Plainview, Minn., in 2010 and now Heimbuch and Ferguson are bringing it to the Red Eye, with the same three lead actors.
"We developed that entire script during the course of rehearsals," Heimbuch said. "I didn't do any pre-writing because I was working on 'Drakul' at the time [a February 2010 production] and because Jon likes to develop work in the rehearsal."
Ferguson uses a distinctly physical style and he has worked fairly frequently with Heimbuch. "Or the White Whale," for example, was a kinetically informed piece that adapted "Moby Dick" several years ago at the Southern Theater. Ferguson's aesthetic uses movement to generate character, which generates language.
"What I learned through this was how viable it can be to write through rehearsal and not just at a writing desk," Heimbuch said.
Early American literature
Washington Irving's spooky classic created an identification for the Hudson Valley and its early Dutch denizens. The story drew from legends of a Hessian soldier who had lost his head and was buried near Sleepy Hollow. Disney made a cartoon in 1949 narrated by Bing Crosby, and Tim Burton twisted the tale in his 1999 film with Johnny Depp. Locally, "Sleepy Hollow" was regularly produced in an adaptation at Children's Theatre many years ago with Bain Boehlke as Ichabod Crane.
Heimbuch's version uses a presentational style, with the story both narrated and acted out. Ryan Lear, one of the principals in the Four Humors comedy troupe, plays Crane — a character who manages to be both irritating and sympathetic.
"He sees himself as more educated and therefore slightly better than the people around him," Heimbuch said. "You get the sense of him bringing it on himself."
Still, he's an outsider who just wants to be loved. Is that so wrong?
Joanna Harmon plays Katrina Van Tassel, who is the romantic target for Ichabod and for Brom Bones, the conniving thug who scares the bejeezus out of poor Ichabod. Brant Miller plays that role.
"It's a version that has no heroes," Heimbuch said.

"The science that Willie Soon does is almost pointless." - NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt, to the New York Times
Recent revelations regarding Smithsonian scientist ...read more
Source: [1]
Freeman Dyson is a retired physics professor who is well known for his work in the area of electrodynamics.
According to one profile, "His most useful contribution to science was the unification of the three versions of quantum electrodynamics invented by Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonaga. Cornell University made him a professor without bothering about his lack of Ph.D." [1]
"As a result of the burning of coal and oil, the driving of cars, and other human activities, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing at a rate of about half a percent per year … the physical effects of carbon dioxide are seen in changes of rainfall, cloudiness, wind strength, and temperature, which are customarily lumped together in the misleading phrase 'global warming.'" [2]
"'The costs of what Gore tells us to do would be extremely large,' Dyson said. 'By restricting CO2 you make life more expensive and hurt the poor. I'm concerned about the Chinese'." [3]
March 25, 2009
Dyson is the feature of an 8000 word article in The New York Times titled "The Civil Heretic." The Times quotes Dyson as saying global warming may indicate that "the climate is actually improving rather than getting worse" because increased carbon would promote forest growth and crop yields. However, the internationally-regarded IPCC concludes that "climate change is expected to lead to salinisation and desertification of agricultural land."
Although Dyson is a brilliant mind, and is revered as a physicist, he does not have a background in climate science. DeSmogBlog speculated how it seems strange that the Times would choose Nicholas Dawidoff, a sports writer (albeit an accomplished sports writer), to research and write an article on climate change.
June 12, 2008
Freeman Dyson publishes "The Question of Global Warming" through The New York Review of Books. Dyson writes, "the only plausible explanation of the annual wiggle," of CO2's PPM measurements, "and its variation with latitude is that it is due to the seasonal growth and decay of annual vegetation, especially deciduous forests, in temperate latitudes north and south." [7]
According to a search of 22,000 academic journals, Dyson has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles mainly in the area of quantum mechanics.
Dyson has articulated his "heretical" views on climate in an extensive article of his own [4] – which has been debunked on a point-by-point basis. [5]

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

We now must enable the iSCSI initiator on the ESXi host. The iSCSI initiator is the software component that connects to the ESXi host to the storage processor running as an iSCSI target. The target owns the disk resource for ESXi and should be configured ahead of time. Individual LUNs for ESXi should be 2TB minus 512 bytes or smaller.
Enabling the iSCSI initiator is shown in this image by clicking each area in the orange boxes.
Once the OK button is selected, the iSCSI qualified name (IQN) number is generated as shown in the yellow box.

I'd recommand to start configure SAN after iSCSI's configure on VM host Allocated volume and etc. Then add VM host(s) on SAN to see if SAN can see it. Only after this done, return to VM host and add preconfigred SAN volumes Rerun and allocate space and etc.

Russians Can't Make Contact With Busted Space Probe 117
from the expensive-fireworks dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Dear sirs,
"Busted", as used in this context, is not a real word.
Yours faithfully,
The English Language
Dear pedant,
Yours truly,
Everyone Else
And Mars continues to give Russia a big, fat middle finger. No Russian/Soviet probe has successfully completed a mission to the Red Planet...
What are these "fingers" of which you speak, denizen of the Blue World?
Planetary celebrations [slashdot.org] have been extended for a third day in the light of the latest victory of our special forces team.
K'breel, speaker for the Council, declared:
Our world grunts in united gleeful mockery over the pathetic invader's busted attempts to escape the Blue World's gravity well! Eight of our fallen warriors are remembered this day, their ichor still thick and gooey in the works of this invader's highly-charged exhaust!
When a junior blogger for the Red Planetary Society suggested that the only ichor present on the stranded invader consisted of biological samples from the Blue World itself (as part of an experiment in xenobiology), K'Breel had the blogger's gelsacs sealed up in tiny canisters and fired into orbit for three days, and incinerated upon re-entry.
Further rumors that despite the successful defense of Z'treem, the Blue World was prepared to launch a second invader - more mobile, powered by Pew-238, and armed with a glarbin' photonic ampradstim unit on its head, and that the Blue World was prepared to launch this invader within fifteen days - were not raised, and therefore did not need to be addressed by the Council at this time.
Someone in the Russian space program is a big Doom fan it seems.
Ok Anonymous lets see what you script kiddies really have, take control and fire the cruise stage.
In Rural USA, aliens probe you!
If it lands on Toronto it'll get rid of half the worlds communists.
If it lands on Washington we can give it the Nobel peace prize.
Somewhere on the probe, there is a cursor blinking on an small LCD screen ( or CRT, FFS), next to the letters:
Aren't you glad you're not getting all the government you pay for now?

GRIMSBY — As a mother of two daughters with hearing loss, Gordana Mosher knows the difficulties the deaf face.
Alecks Mosher, 25, is profoundly deaf while 23-year-old Angie is hard of hearing. When Alecks was enrolled in figure skating lessons, Mosher, would often have to step in to explain.
"You would see me, as a mom, out on the ice interpreting for her," said Mosher, special project lead with the Canadian Hearing Society.
Knowing the barriers the deaf face when it comes to accessing recreational services, Mosher has taken the lead on a project that aims at making recreation facilities across the province more accessible to those with a hearing loss. For one in four Canadians, it may be difficult to hear the yoga instructor speaking softly at the front of the room or the coach giving direction during a noisy game. CHS has teamed up with Ontario Recreation Facilities Association Inc. to launch "Creating Accessible Facilities for People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing." Mosher is the project lead for the provincial-government funded program.
"If we don't make a point to raise the issues, there will never be any change," said Mosher at Grimsby Town Hall Friday, for the final stop on a cross-province tour to promote the program during Hearing and Speech Awareness Month. "Once the barriers are broken, change happens."
Mosher and colleagues were at town hall to meet with staff and provide opportunities for both them and members of the public to participate in a hearing screening, learn basic sign language and introduce them to available technology for communicating with the deaf.
"It's a learning experience," said Mosher, who was pleased to be in her home town for the finale of the tour. "People don't know what accessibility means for people who are deaf or hard of hearing."
Even a simple gesture such as a proper greeting, explained Mosher, is enough to make someone feel welcome.
While she understands the availability of having American Sign Language interpreters present may take some time to prepare, having a communication devices such as the UBI Duo as demonstrated to town staff is a good start to help break down communication barriers. "Communication devices do not replace American Sign Language interpreters, but they are beneficial when engaging with individuals who are Deaf or have a hearing loss to obtain initial information until access is provided."
She said investments like these will go along way given the rate of hearing loss in the country. One in four Canadians will have a form of hearing loss in their lifetime. While this was once thought of as a side effect of aging, hearing loss is affecting more and more young people. Hearing loss in teens is up by 30 per cent.
Mosher was impressed to learn town hall does have a personal listening device available for people who have a hearing loss. However, she gave town staff a little bit of advice about promoting them.
"One of the highlights I think is that we are trying to do the right thing, but unless people know about it, it's not helpful," said Keith Vogl, town manager. "One of the messages we received is that, it's great to have these devices but we have to increase awareness for people with a hearing disability so they can access them."
Another tidbit of customer service advice staff gleamed was to talk to the person not the interpreter.
"For me, personally, it was a good reminder of the things we need to think about and consider," said Vogl.
Another tip the town picked up was to add a visual warning to the fire alarm system at town hall. CHS staff noticed their absence during a test at Friday's event. Vogl said the information has been passed on to the Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee.
Though the turnout from the public was low, Mosher counts the final tour stop as a success. She said reaching just one person is enough to make a difference.
"I want to make sure my town is accessible," said Mosher. "Being a mother to two hard of hearing daughters, I want to make my town accessible."
The tour was just the kick-off to ongoing support CHS will offer ORFA members through the program. The education program will be made available online for members to view at any time which includes videos and webinars.
"ORFA is pleased to be working with CHS on this project," said Remo Petrongolo, director, business development at ORFA. "Our members operate and manage multi-million dollar recreation facilities which are very important to the development and sustainability of healthy communities. One of ORFA's key beliefs is promoting safe, efficient and accessible recreation facilities. This project will provide our members with educational tools and resources that will assist them in better addressing the needs of facility patrons who are Deaf or have hearing loss."
The partnership is mutually beneficial to CHS.
"ORFA is taking measurable steps towards removing the communication barriers and creating a safe environment for all," said Jo Ann Bentley, program director for accessibility consulting at CHS. "This partnership is invaluable because together we are raising more awareness of communication barriers and providing solutions for people who are Deaf or have hearing loss in every community across Ontario."

If this wasn't a Finals games with all the attendant pomp and intensity attached to it, it would be forgettable. I felt they spent the entire game feeling each other out and LA won on a prayer. Justin Williams admitted he blindly threw the puck to an open area hoping Kopitar could get it, which he did.
While it's true that the Kings had the edge in play throughout, New Jersey missed some gold-plated scoring chances and probably should have won 3-1. L.A. has gotten away with stuff like that throughout the whole playoffs and they very good and will beat teams that don't take advantage of the few chances they give up.
I;m not sure what to make of this whole things. The Kings are not by a long shot the 1985 Oilers or the 1978 Canadiens, yet at 13-2 their playoff run conjures up memories of those great teams. I keep thinking that at some point, they will have to face adversity, but they have never had to play from behind and winning the first three games of each series means they haven't had much pressure to face.
Kings captain Dustin Brown talked about how it makes things just that much harder for other teams to have to chase games and series against his team and I think that's the key point. If the Devils can win Game 2, we'll see. They say every team faces adversity on their way to the Cup, but if LA wins Game 2, this might turn out to be the most unlikely luxury ride to a championship we've ever seen.
Personally, I'm hoping for a long, competitive series.moreless

Arizona land developer Bill Long has decided to determine the heir to his 560-acre ranch by having his would-be heirs square off in a series of contests. One by one, the heirs are voted off until one person is left to claim the estate.
The final test was a polygraph test the answers were given to Bill he did not however know to whom the answers belonged. The Queen of the Conniving Penny lied many many times and it is know know she is in fact with Bill for his money. Billy definately grew throughout this competition and transformed from an 18 year old boy into a young man, he told the truth and I really believe Bill wanted his ranch to go to his son.
The winner was revealed and there was a look of complete shock on his face along with dissappointment.
Penny won the ranch.
Billy Should Have Won!! Not the money hungry, plastic surgury queen of lies.moreless

7 Things I've Learned In 30+ Years Of Pastoral Ministry
I don't consider myself an expert, but thought I'd share a few things I've learned over the years
"Even if someone's criticism is completely off, there's almost always something we can learn. James tells us to be quick to listen and slow to speak. Often when someone brings us negative criticism, our first reaction can be to defend ourselves or write them off. Someone's critique may not be 100% correct, but I've found... Continue Reading
What Pastoral Lessons Did I Learn Caring For a 106 Year Old Widow?
If you have these kinds of elderly folks in your church, you are a blessed pastor
"If there is someone in our church that has been walking with the Lord long before we were born, they will probably have a thing or two to teach us about life. It may not be about the atonement, the active and passive obedience of Christ, or a complex breakdown of eschatology. There is, however, much they can teach... Continue Reading

Bucer's understanding of pastoral ministry was historically important and personally challenging

I wrote a post earlier this week about seven celebrities who... Continue Reading

But to claim that moderates alone are "real Muslims" is an act of historical and religious revisionism that is fooling no one—except, perhaps, us Westerners." One of the... Continue Reading

Marriage: The Modern Day Litmus Test For Inerrancy
Inerrancy means that the Bible, in its original manuscripts, is 'without error in all that it affirms'

Is the Church Failing Gay Christians?
Thoughts on a discussion among Steve Chalke, Ed Shaw, Rosaria Butterfield, and Jayne Ozanne
Even though the conversation was polite and civil, it was rather awkward on this point. Their discussion reveals that there can be no underlying evangelical unity when people differ over this issue. It's impossible to construct a "pastoral" response that includes deeply unfaithful, harmful, unbiblical, and unchristian perspectives. Biblical truth is the foundation of any... Continue Reading
Sing Your Heart Out
The Gospel enables and encourages us to take up theologically rich Psalms and hymns and to sing our hearts out to God
Much of the scriptural teaching about the beauty of loud congregational singing has been lost by the injuries that have been sustained by both sides in the worship wars. In many performance-driven congregations worship teams overpower congregational singing and the singing that happens is akin to the drowned out admiration singing at a concert. In... Continue Reading
"Righteous" Reputations of Churches That Don't Care

In College and Hiding From Scary Ideas
What will they do when they hear opinions they've learned to shrink from?

People ought to go to college to sharpen their wits and broaden their field of vision. Shield them from unfamiliar ideas, and they'll never learn the discipline of... Continue Reading

Our Fundamentalist Founders?
Reading Locke reminded me that Christian influences on the founding of the Republic were significant
Locke's influence on the American founders can hardly be denied. When he writes of life, liberty, and the pursuit of private property—he repeatedly used the expression "life, liberty, and estate" or variants—it sounds almost as if the Founders retroactively wrote some Lockean passages. It's a good reminder of our national cultural, political roots. The interweb... Continue Reading
How Many Millennials are Evangelical in Name Only?
Liberal ideology under the cloak of Evangelicalism is a growing trend.

LifeWay Pulls All 'Heaven Tourism' Titles in Doubts Over Authenticity and Theology

When It's Time For Some RICO Indictments
In Reformed circles evangelical racketeering is more common than many of the evangelical public realize.
Huge money is being made behind the scenes, which helps to explain the manner in which even friendly critics are often treated by such organizations. It also explains the comparative silence about these things in the public sphere: the men of stature who could and should speak out are often invested in the racket themselves... Continue Reading
Young People's Greatest Problem Is…
Matthew Henry says, "I have seen more young people ruined by pride than perhaps by any one lust whatsoever."
If Matthew Henry had designed Facebook instead of Mark Zuckerberg, we would be posting status updates on our failings, our faults, and our bad-hair days. And we'd be posting photos of others' victories, achievements, and successes. ….Pride. At least, according to Matthew Henry. In his little book, Sober-Mindedness Pressed Upon Young People, Henry says,... Continue Reading
Why So Many Young Christians Are Leaving Their Churches — And Coming Back Again
A millennial's thoughts on faith and church membership
Many of my friends have started returning to their childhood church communities, if for no other reason than it feels more faithful to recommit to what they already know than commit to uncertainty. As for me, I've decided to recommit to going to church with my husband rather than continuing the search alone. I am... Continue Reading
The Christian and Common Grace
Temporal sufferings, like temporal blessings, are an opportunity to bring glory to God.
As much as I may, at times, be quick to think that people are basically good, I confess that there is another side of common grace that confounds me. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust (Matthew 5:45). I... Continue Reading
Despite Assurances, Should PCUSA Pastors Worry about Their Future and Same-Sex Marriage?
PCUSA officials have been quick to offer assurances that no pastor would be forced to conduct a same-sex wedding and no church would be forced to host one.
So, for now the authority to marry same-sex people in Presbyterian churches is permissive and not compulsory. "But," LaBerge commented, "If this is a genuine justice issue, which supporters of marriage redefinition claim, then how long do you think they're really going to be willing for the denomination to limp along between two opinions? How... Continue Reading
Nine Traits of Mean Churches
Are mean churches really increasing in number?
So, after receiving the second email, I began to assimilate all the information I could find where church members had written me about their "mean" churches. They may not have used the word "mean" specifically, but the intent was the same. I then collected characteristics of these churches, and I found nine that were common.... Continue Reading
Choose Your Own Sexual Ethics Adventure
A critique of purity culture turns into a plea for self-centered sexuality.
What's really important—what, in Anderson's view, is really moral—is that one's sex life is shaped by our own sense of ethics. Given all this, perhaps it's not so surprising that Anderson so easily falls into the trap of setting up her own values as a substitute source of authority. If one's own viewpoint is one's...

We Talk to Everybody
Mark discovered Linux back in 1992, and by 1994 was predicting it would be the next-generation UNIX and challenge even Microsoft. That's what I call prescient. Rather than become a Linux developer, he instead took the road of an advocate.
When he started his business, Workgroup Solutions, he sold one of the first commercial products for Linux: Multisoft's FlagShip. In fact, he persuaded Multisoft to port it to Linux in the first place. He also sold his own distribution, Linux Pro, based first on Slackware and later on Red Hat. It was always a bit behind the cutting edge, but this meant it was always stable, a definite plus for the business market at which he was aiming. Today, with all the advances in Linux distributions, he no longer feels there is a need for Linux Pro and has withdrawn it from the market. Workgroup Solutions has turned into LinuxMall, and as a business proves that supporting Linux can bring success.
When asked what he liked most about Linux, Mark replied, "Its openness, its use of the GPL, its ability to educate those willing to take responsibility to educate themselves, and finally, its flexibility to adapt to the needs of anyone educationally empowered or able to hire someone who is." He strongly compares Linux and American history in this way: "I see the Linux movement as a parallel to the American Revolution, where the GPL is analogous to the Constitution. This, I guess, makes Richard Stallman a Thomas Jefferson, and perhaps `The Cathedral and the Bazaar' is the Declaration of Independence."
Mark dedicates his life to his business and Linux advocacy, finding no time for a family or even a vacation. However, he doesn't feel he is wasting his life on computers, but rather providing a service that will benefit others and perhaps even the whole world, when Linux achieves "world domination". His belief in serving others is proven through the way he runs his company. He hires people who are already a part of the Linux community, and gives a percentage of the company's gross profit back to the community in support of Linux events, projects and public relations work.
An all-around nice guy, Mark is a familiar face at the trade shows. His web page is http://www.linuxmall.com/, and he can be reached at email@example.com.
When it comes to Linux, mathematician Andries Brouwer has a simple explanation as to why it worked for him:
I tried it and it worked. In fact, it worked really well. FreeBSD I tried later, and I preferred Linux.
Unlike many of those whose hacking of the Linux kernel was a natural by-product of their work as a computer scientist, programmer or software developer, Andries, who managed international character handling for the Linux keyboard and console, arrived at Linux through a different route.
I use my machines mostly for mathematics—(for) both computations and writing papers and books. Whenever something is wrong, I like to fix it, and this brought me to various parts of the kernel, mostly with small fixes, sometimes with slightly larger code fragments.
But working on Linux over the Internet, in fact working over the Internet itself, is nothing new to Andries, who today still considers himself a mathematician.
I released Hack on the Net, maybe around 1984. This led to lots of contacts with many people all over the Net, both via e-mail and via net.games.hack. So, to me, cooperation over the Net was a well-known concept, not revolutionary at all.
Andries Brouwer's e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ed Carp, whose contributions to the Linux kernel include work on cron, UUCP, Elm, Pine and pico, first ran into Linux in late 1991 when someone forwarded him the Linux project announcement from a BSD newsgroup.
I was attracted to Linux because of the distributed development model. I had looked at 386BSD, but the development model was completely controlled by William Jolitz, who made releases about every six months, and I couldn't wait for bug fixes that long.
Sound familiar? At the time, Ed was working at Sun Microsystems, "downloading a full newsfeed via a Telebit modem to a XENIX box." When his upstream newsfeed switched to HDB UUCP, and the XENIX UUCP could not support the new protocols, Ed went searching. "When I called SCO, they quoted me $1500 to upgrade my very old XENIX. So I was in the market for something cheaper and that I could tweak the source if I needed to."
Insofar as Ed's Linux hacking rose directly from his computer needs, UUCP, Sendmail and Elm were among his first Linux contributions. Of the times, Ed remembers "overnight, I became the application port guru. People were e-mailing me from all over the world, trying to get their applications ported over." He also counts driver and kernel work among his larger contributions.
Unfortunately, nowadays many of those moving most quickly around the Linux community are, for lack of a better word, the carpetbaggers. To those people, Ed shows very little regard, admitting that
I think [Linux] would've survived regardless—there are a lot of operating systems around that haven't received the publicity that Linux has, and are doing quite well ... I think the popularity of Linux can be a two-edged sword.
Ed is still involved with computers and, more importantly, still involved with Linux. He says, "I'm involved in two projects, one to bring a port of Linux to a PowerPC platform for an embedded ATM controller, and two to develop a new server-side scripting language for the Web."
And outside of computers?
I backpack, and am also involved in ham radio. I don't think I've wasted my life. Working with computers has produced a lot of personal satisfaction for me. I've written pager notification systems for severe weather alerts, and I'd like to think that software has saved a life or two along the way.
Ed Carp's e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Genuine Parts Company (GPC) distributes automotive replacement parts, industrial replacement parts, office products, and electrical/electronic materials in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico. The company operates in four segments: Automotive Parts Group, Industrial Parts Group, Office Products Group, and Electrical/Electronic Materials Group. This dividend king has increased distributions for 54 consecutive years.
Over the past decade, this dividend stock has delivered an annual total return of 11.40%.
At the same time earnings per share have increased only by 1.40% per year since 2000. For 2010 analysts expect an increase in EPS by 12.80% to $2.82. For FY 2011 analysts expect the company to earn $3.15/share, which would represent an increase of 11.70% in comparison with the results in FY 2010.
The growth in EPS was helped by stock buybacks, where the company repurchased about 1% of their outstanding stock each year over the past decade. The company's near term prospects should be aided by sales growth, triggered by the expansion in the US economy. Margins should also be higher on cost cutting and higher volumes. Longer term the company could benefit from increased complexity of vehicles and the rising number of automobiles. The company seems to be very conservative in its finances and has a low level of debt coupled with strong cash flow from operations to fund future dividend increases.
Dividends per share increased by 4.20% on average since the year 2000. A 4% growth in dividends translates into dividend payments doubling every 18 years. Since 1987 the company has manage to double its quarterly dividend every eleven and a half years on average.
The dividend payout ratio has remained above 50% in six of the past ten years. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
The return on equity has remained above 16% with the exception of 2001. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
Currently the company trades at a P/E of 16, yields 3.80% and has a dividend payout ratio of 60%. Given the low growth in dividends and earnings over the past decade, I would have to require a higher current yield and a lower dividend payout ratio before initiating a position in the stock. I would initiate a small position in the stock provided that it trades below $41, and the payout ratio is lower than 60%.

GPC is one of those companies where I reduced my holdings a few months back to put into something else with higher yield and better prospects, though I still hold shares. I would say your analysis is spot on.ReplyDelete
I would consider a move below 39 might trigger a look to reacquire some shares.
I don't own shares in Genuine Parts, but I have been looking for a good entry price for some time now. At some point, when the price is right, I'll also own shares of this excellent business.ReplyDelete

Former White House adviser and high-profile cybersecurity expert Melissa Hathaway is joining the Centre for International Governance Innovation as a distinguished fellow.
Hathaway served as a cybersecurity adviser to Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and is the former acting senior director for cyberspace at the National Security Council and former adviser to the Director of National Intelligence. She is now president of Hathaway Global Strategies, a consulting firm, and a senior adviser to Project Minerva, a cybersecurity project jointly managed by the Department of Defense, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.
"The Internet is at the very core of every aspect of life. There is nothing more important than ensuring that we engage in an international discussion about the priorities required to strengthen the services and infrastructures that are dependent upon the Internet," Hathaway said in a written statement. "There are many entangled economic, technical, regulatory, and policy issues that are part of every negotiation and discussion about the Internet and its future. I look forward to working with the CIGI team to bring more clarity to the international discussion and encourage governments to take actions and reduce risks."
CIGI is based in Ontario, Canada, but Hathaway is expected to remain in the Washington, D.C., metro area.

DEFINITION of 'Franchise Factor'
The measurement of the impact on a company's price-earnings (P/E) ratio per unit growth in new investment. For example, a franchise factor of 3 would indicate that the P/E ratio of a company would increase by three units for every unit of growth in the company's book value.
The franchise factor can be calculated as the product of annual investment returns in excess of market returns and the duration of the returns. A P/E ratio will not be elevated with a high franchise factor alone.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Franchise Factor'
A company with a high franchise factor will have exceptionally high P/E ratios in comparison to its book value. This comes from the ability to continually capitalize on basic strengths, rather than the financial strength of the business. Because this is the case in many franchises, the term "franchise factor" was developed.
