A number of junior golfers from the area recently completed play in the Gadsden Area Summer Golf Tour, with Jack Sims and Hope Bishop claiming the tour championships in their respective age groups.
Sims was the boys' winner in the 13-to-18 age group, while Bishop captured the title in the same age group on the girls' side. Other winners included Keegan Bost in 11-to-12 boys, Jackson Bowman in 7-to-10 boys and Savanah Hughes in 7-to-12 girls.
The tour featured five 9-hole rounds at four area golf courses — two at Silver Lakes and one each at River Trace, Briarmeade and Wills Creek. Points were awarded based on order of finish, with 10 points awarded for a first-place finish, seven for second, five for third, three for fourth, two for fifth and one for sixth or below.
Sims, who finished with 47 points, carded the best score in four of the five rounds he played, while Garrett Shew, who had 34 points and finished second to Sims, won one of the rounds at Silver Lakes. Garrison Clowdus was third in the 13-to-18 boys with 20 points.
On the girls' side, Bishop finished with 30 points, narrowly edging Madison Autwell's 29. Bishop finished in first place in each round she played, but only played in three rounds. Autwell, meanwhile, racked up points by competing in each of the five events and came in first place twice.
Bost played three rounds and won all three, while Bowman swept each of the four events he competed in. Hughes won one event and came in second in three others to narrowly defeat Lauren Cole, 31 points to 30. Cole captured wins in each of the three tour stops where she competed.

Can You Imagine the Potential for Drawing Tourists Off of the Thruway at Exit 19?
It is a fact that the CMRR has served Ulster County quite well bringing in thousands of tourists to Kingston and Ulster County. CMRR has also pointed us to the future, showing us that CMRR could easily run regular tourist trains every 2 hours, (10am, 12pm, 2pm.4pm, ...) year round. Can you imagine the potential for drawing tourists off the Thruway to Exit 19 to the Kingston Plaza Train Station?

Ulster County Wages are low - Stop building Trails, Bring Developers Here
Ulster County Residents: Please call Mike Hein at 340-3636 and Shayne Gallo at 334-3902 and tell them that our low wages in Ulster County and the City of Kingston are unacceptable. Tell them that we need to encourage developers to come to the county and the city. Tell them that we need less emphasis on biking/walking trails and much more emphasis on bringing in high tech and manufacturing employers. See the bad report on Ulster County wages below. http://www.dailyfreeman.com/general-news/20150316/ulster-weekly-wages-7th-of-10-hudson-valley-counties-trailing-delaware-greene-counties

Let's Take the Train to the Ashokan Reservoir
On Kingston Community Radio, on Wed.,Feb.25th, Walt Maxwell, Ray Rice and I discussed the recently released Catskill Mt.Railroad Business Plan for Kingston to the Glenford Dike at the edge of the Ashokan Reservoir. Let's all call Mike Hein at 340-3636 and tell him to not rip up the 5 miles of track between Hurley Mt.Road near Kenco to the Glenford Dike at the Ashokan Reservoir. Tell him we are all looking forward to taking the CMRR train from the Kingston Plaza to the Reservoir. The business plan says that the train to and from the Reservoir could be running daily every 2 hours, ie. 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm. Isn't this plan exciting? Mike, please don't rip up the tracks to the Glenford Dike. Listen to the audio file of my chat with Walter and Ray by going to the Facebook page for Kingston Community Radio or KCR and listen to the 3 audio files posted on Feb.27th.

Use "Trail-Walk-Arounds" when necessary, but do not rip up the railroad tracks
Let's Clear the Haze. Mike Hein and his staff used a wide-ranging "Trail-Walk-Around" to get the trail to the other side of Route 209 without building a bridge. Therefore, between Hurley Mt.Road and the Glenford Dike at the Ashokan Reservoir, Use "Trail-Walk-Arounds" if there is not room for the trail next to a section of railroad track. Most logical people would agree that under no circumstance do you rip up the railroad tracks.

The Catskill Mt.Railroad deserves to win the Pride of Ulster County Award
I agree that Catskill Mt.Railroad deserves to win the Pride of Ulster County Award from the UC Chamber of Commerce. Let all Ulster County Businesses tell Ward Todd that we want to give the Pride of Ulster County Award to the Catskill Mt.Railroad. I want to urge local citizens and businesses to get involved and take back our Ulster County business climate. Some local environmentalists and trail advocates are destroying are business climate by sending the message that Ulster County politicians and leaders are not fighting and pushing back on the unreasonable demands of environmentalists and trail advocates. Ulster County's average wages are $13,000 lower than Dutchess County. Ulster County's wages are going to remain low if we citizens and businesses don't get involved and tell our politicians and leaders that we want them to push back against environmentalists and trail advocate and to allow private developers and the Catskill Mt.Railroad people to help grow our local economy and grow our local wages.

Ulster County - Let's bring in Larger Firms for Higher Wages
Today on KCR, talking with Ward Todd, I mentioned that the average wage for Ulster County residents is very low, about $13,000 less than Dutchess County residents. I told Ward that we need to do more to attract medium to large companies to the county, using the SUNY Ulster College's Start Up NY designation at TechCity (former IBM site). I mentioned that we are emphasizing small business and tourism development almost exclusively. This results in low average wages compared to Dutchess County. We have very visible evidence of our low Ulster County wages........Look at the Hudson Valley Mall where one by one stores are closing at the mall. The lack of Ulster County and City of Kingston having an aggressive plan for attracting medium to large companies to the area is hurting the lives of our residents, especially our young people looking for good-paying jobs for raising a family. The Start Up NY program at SUNY Ulster-TechCity offers
10 years of no income taxes for companies moving from out of state. Why don't our leaders aggressively use this Start Up NY designation to bring medium and large companies to the area?

On Air Suggestions to Mike Hein - Meet with CMRR & Use Trail Walk-Arounds
On Friday, Jan.23rd, Mike Hein and I discussed the Catskill Mt.Railroad. In the 4 short audio links below, I asked Mike to let Ward Todd broker a meeting with him and the Catskill Mt.Railroad. Also, I asked Mike why Trail Walk-arounds could not be used between the Hurley Flats and the Glenford Dike to accommodate the Trail, similar to the extensive Walk-around planned for the Trail between Kingston and the Hurley Flats. Why rip up the tracks between the Hurley Flats and Glenford when you don't have to?

The financial and operating data described below, except where otherwise stated, are presented on a consolidated basis including our direct and indirect subsidiaries HRT O&G Exploração e Produção de Petróleo Ltda. ("HRT O&G"), Integrated Petroleum Expertise Company – Serviços em Petróleo Ltda. ("IPEX"), HRT Africa Petróleo S.A. ("HRT Africa"), HRT Netherlands B.V.

In addition to the progress of its exploration activities, the conclusion of the farm-in and farm-out of 45% participating interest in the Solimões Basin allowed HRT to announce net income in this quarter. For a company still in the pre-operational phase, this result is a demonstration of the focus of our Group on maximizing return for our shareholders. Significant milestones were achieved during this period, both in Solimões and in Namibia. Our group's dynamism has enabled us to advance simultaneously with the exploratory activity of our assets, seeking greater efficiency and maximizing the value of our portfolio and, at the same time, taking important business and financial actions, such as the farm-out to TNK-Brasil and the farm-out process for the Namibian blocks. In Namibia, with the conclusion of the 3D seismic campaign, the processing and interpretation of the data in our assets enabled the commencement of the farm-out process of the blocks operated by HRT. The data-room is being led by our subsidiary in Houston, HRT America, which has been carrying out safe and technically sound work. The data presented thus far has confirmed our expectation in the potential of these basins in Namibia, which are seen as the new exploratory frontier of the oil and gas industry in the world. Since early 2012, several oil and gas discoveries have been made along the African coast – of particular prominence is the pre-salt in Angola, a basin on the edge of the Namibian basins – and intense M&A activity on blocks and companies with exposure to exploration assets across the continent. This is a new horizon opening up, where we believe Namibia will soon be one of the major players. HRT's exploratory campaign in the Solimões Basin brought in the quarter further discoveries of hydrocarbons – in total, six wells have been concluded thus far, all with hydrocarbons shows. With the spudding, conclusion of drillings and of drillstem tests and consequently a greater geological knowledge of the basin, we are working further improve the quality of the geological and geophysical data and refining the regional and the prospect mapping that will be the object of further drillings, in order to obtain even better results in the exploration of this important asset for our company. The conclusion of the drillstem test in the well 1-HRT-4-AM revealed the discovery of condensate and gas and may allow the development of a production unit in that area. With the drilling of the directional well 4-HRT-7D-AM in the same geological structure we estimate that there is important potential to be discovered. The drilling of the well 1-HRT-5-AM confirmed the discovery of a new structural trend with gas accumulations situated between the Juruá and Urucu fields. This well presented a high flow of gas and we estimate that this accumulation is capable of producing up to 2 million cubic meters of gas per day. We expect that the new drillings of the prospects located in this trend expedite the economic feasibility of the natural gas monetization project for the Solimões Basin assets. This is why we intend to maintain a drilling rig at the Tefé and Juruá clusters, the drillings of which are designed to evaluate our natural gas resources. It is important to mention that we are working on Evaluation Plans so that ANP can certify volumes in this area. Situated in the block 170 – where we had already announced the discovery of oil and gas – the well 1-HRT-6-AM was drilled expecting to find oil. Located near the Chibata and Leste Chibata wells, both oil producers in the Lower-Juruá and Uerê formations, Carboniferous and Devonian in age, this well was to test a new structure with characteristics similar to these wells, which resulted in important discoveries. Having concluded the drilling and final logging, gas- bearing reservoirs were identified in the Juruá Formation and two oil-bearing reservoirs in the Devonian sequence. Drillstem tests will be run with a view to evaluate the production potential of this structure. The well has been cased, and the intervals of interest (net pay of 12 meters) will be perforated and tested to verify the permeability conditions for the fluid flow in the formation. Once the test is concluded, it will be possible to determine the suitable intervals for production. | Page 3 | 1Q12 It is worthwhile to mention that, as we commented in the disclosure of 4Q11 results, the Company's primary objective in Solimões is the discovery of oil. With the conclusion of the seismic survey on the blocks SOL-T-148, SOL-T-149 and SOL-T-172, we plan to spud two wells in the Aruã cluster. Therefore, the drilling, as of the second half of 2012, will be focused on areas where the prospective resources were certified for oil occurrence. There will thus be 3 wells aimed at oil and 1 well aimed at gas. Other two important achievements in this quarter were the extensions granted for the exploration periods, both in Solimões and Namibia. In Solimões, the second exploration period for the nine blocks in the north west of the concession area was extended by the ANP for a further two years. This is the recognition of the work performed and of the delay caused by adverse weather conditions. In Namibia, the Ministry of Mines and Energy granted an extension of the initial exploration period for all the 10 blocks operated by HRT. The extensions are recognition of the work that has been carried out by HRT, particularly for the 3D seismic campaign in Namibia – the largest ever carried out on the west Africa coast. Despite the volume and quality of work we have been performing from the end of last year and in this first quarter, the weather conditions have been particularly adverse, and the flooding of the Solimões River, which affects our work areas, is already near the highest levels ever recorded, resulting in logistical difficulties of all kinds, disturbances in the support and drilling bases, with the consequent and inevitable delays in the execution of the work. Our teams have been working to minimize the effects on operating efficiency and HRT is supporting nearby communities to minimize the impact on the life of various families living in the vicinity. HRT O&G FARM-OUT TO TNK-BRASIL At the end of January, we filed a request with ANP for the transfer of concession rights corresponding to 45% over the 21 blocks in the Solimões Basin to TNK-Brasil. At the ANP Board meeting held on March 28, 2012, the transfer of 45% interest in the rights and obligations over the 21 blocks held by HRT O&G to TNK-Brasil was approved, whereby concluding the farm-out process. HRT O&G remains as the operator of the blocks, where it still holds a 55% working interest. As of this stage, we now count on the support of the TNK-Brasil in the Amazon region. The Group's broad experience in exploration and production in Russia and the logistical challenges overcame in its onshore operations in Siberia will significantly help advance the exploratory program in the Solimões Basin. We trust this will be a solid and successful partnership for both companies. Additionally, we are concluding arrangements with PETRA for the transfer of guarantees that were used to acquire the said 45% interest in the blocks, under the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Release, signed in December. | Page 4 | 1Q12 RESOURCES ESTIMATED BY DEGOLYER AND MACNAUGHTON With the progress of the exploratory campaign, and particularly the acquisition of new seismic lines during 2011 and in 1Q12 – 3,100 km of 2D seismic survey in the Solimões Basin and 9,075 km² of 3D seismic survey in the Namibian Basins– a new report of estimated resources should be contracted by the end of 2012 for these concessions.

Today, it holds 55% interest over 21 exploratory blocks in the Solimões Basin. The Solimões Basin is located in Brazil's Amazon region and the blocks under concession for the HRT TNK-Brasil consortium occupy an area of 48,507 km². According to official data from ANP, the region is the third largest in Brazil in terms of oil and gas production, with around 100 thousand BOE per day. The oil produced in the Solimões Basin is of excellent quality, with a specific density between 41º and 47º API, and has strategic importance for the Brazilian market. | Page 5 | 1Q12 SOL-T-151 SOL-T-148 SOL-T-149 SOL-T-172 SOL-T-168 SOL-T-174 SOL-T-169 SOL-T-170 SOL-T-191 SOL-T-197 SOL-T-192 SOL-T-194 SOL-T-195 SOL-T-196 SOL-T-148 SOL-T-149 SOL-T-218 SOL-T-214 SOL-T-215 SOL-T-216 SOL-T-217 SOL-T-219 SOL-T-220 BATE-1 HRT-1 SOL-T-172 SOL-T-168 HRT-2 HRT-6 BAJU BATE-2 SOL-T-169 SOL-T-170 HRT-3 HRT-5 HRT-7 HRT-8 er d Riv ren fé l T Te tura Str uc HRT-4 FLOATING SOL-T-191 BASE SOL-T-192 SOL-T-194 SOL-T-195 SOL-T-218 T SOL-T-218 T SOL-T-214 SOL-T-214 SOL-T-215 T SOL-T-215 SOL-T-216 T SOL-T-216 SOL-T-217 SOL-T-217 T WELLS DRILLED DRILLING WELLS On January 30, 2012, the Company`s first directional well, named 4-HRT-7D-AM, was spudded. The well aims to test a higher structural position in relation to the well 1-HRT-4-AM, a gas and condensate discovery well, by way of a directional well. It is estimated that this accumulation may reach horizons with a major possibility of producing gas or condensate. The well should reach its final depth at around 3,150 meters with a 1,200 meters horizontal deviation in relation to the well 1-HRT-4-AM. The main targets of this drilling are the Juruá Formation reservoirs. The drillstem test in the well 1-HRT-5-AM, successfully concluded on April 8, 2012, demonstrated good flow characteristics through a vertical well, reaching production of 370 thousand cubic meters of natural gas per day with choke of 40/64". The well drilled a yet untested structure, opening up a new gas-producing trend in the Solimões Basin. It is estimated that the accumulation may have a potential flow rate of 2 million cubic meters of natural gas per day when it reaches its development phase. This result points towards the possibility of the existence of a new gas accumulation in blocks SOL-T-191, 192, 169 and in the southeast of the block 170, reaffirming the vocation for gas in the blocks under concession in the northwestern Solimões Basin. The new structural trend extends over 90 km and is located 20 km southern of the Juruá fields, as demonstrated in the prior picture. On March 20, 2012, the well 1-HRT-8-AM was spudded, which aims to test a structure of 25 km² in area and which is part of the gas trend drilled by the well 1-HRT-5-AM. The well targets are the Carboniferous reservoirs of the Juruá Formation expected to be found as of 3,000 meters depth, as well as the Devonian reservoirs of the Uerê Formation. As previously mentioned, on April 27, 2012, the drilling of the well 1-HRT-6-AM was concluded. Evidence of hydrocarbon shows was identified in two oil-bearing intervals, with net pay of about 4 and 8 meters. The well has being cased and the intervals with hydrocarbon shows will be the object of drillstem tests to be run thereafter with a view to evaluate its production potential. | Page 6 | 1Q12 AIR AMAZONIA Air Amazonia is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HRT, created to provide aerial logistics support for the exploratory campaign in the Solimões Basin. In the 1Q12, operating a fleet comprising 18 aircraft (14 helicopters and 4 planes) totted up 2,943 flight hours, transporting around 6,000 passengers and a cargo volume exceeding 4,000 tons, among equipment and supplies for the operation and support of the various drilling sites. With the development and improvement of logistics operations, the cost per hour flown per equipment was reduced in comparison with 4Q11. Its priority being operational safety and quality of its services, Air Amazonia will continue to operate in 2012 seeking to increase the availability of its equipment for the company's operations and permanently focused on safety and cost reduction for the exploratory campaign in the Solimões Basin. HRT AFRICA AND HRT CANADA HRT Africa and HRT Canada today hold ten exploration blocks on the coast of Namibia: eight blocks in the Orange Basin and two blocks in the Walvis Basin. Additionally, we hold an interest in two exploration blocks in the Namibe Basin, as demonstrated in the table below. Namibia is located in southwestern Africa and has four offshore sedimentary basins: the Namibe Basin, Walvis Basin, Lüderitz Basin and Orange Basin, covering an area of 350,000 km². HRT is the operator of ten of its twelve exploration blocks on the Namibia coast, covering a gross area of 62,892 km² and a net area of 51,513 km².

After processing and interpreting the data, on April 2, HRT began meeting with oil companies wishing to appraise a possible partnership in its exploratory area in Namibia. A data-room was opened at the head offices of its subsidiary HRT America, in Houston, with a view to providing access to information to the interested companies. The beginning of drilling campaign is due between 4Q12 and 1Q13. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. was engaged to provide support to HRT in this transaction. INTEGRATED PETROLEUM EXPERTISE CO. - IPEX Integrated Petroleum Expertise Company – Serviços em Petróleo Ltda. or IPEX, carries out studies and analyses in the fields of Geochemistry, Geophysics and the environment. Support from the laboratories of IPEX is a key element in the exploration task force of HRT O&G. IPEX provides essential support in collecting and collating samples. The laboratories also supply the best geochemical analyses on the market today, with qualified oil technicians, geoscientists and geochemists. Today this is the analysis mechanism that has given support HRT O&G in its exploration activity, and other companies in the sector, as well as state entities. HRT AMERICA HRT America is headquartered in Houston, TX and is made up of highly specialized and renowned professionals in the oil and gas industry. Its main activity is the provision of geophysical and geological research services within oil exploration and production focused exclusively on companies in the HRT group, especially for the concessions in Namibia. | Page 8 | 1Q12 INVESTMENT PLAN 2012/2013 – SOLIMÕES AND NAMIBIA PROJECTS The Company's exploration activity in the Solimões and Namibia projects is on target for the estimated CAPEX for 2012 and 2013 to be met with existing cash. In this backdrop, the decision was taken to use up to four drilling rigs to drill eight exploration wells during the course of 2012 in the Solimões Basin, besides acquiring 2,000 km of 2D seismic survey, of which 500 km were carried out in 1Q12. In Namibia, the process of analyzing and interpreting the seismic surveys allowed the farm-out project to be the focus for 2012, as well as preparing to drill an exploratory well, the first of a series, forecast to begin between 4Q12 and 1Q13. The support base to assist the drilling activities will be built in Lüderitz. Funding of CAPEX for this period will be met by HRT´s strong cash and buying pawer positions. CAPEX 2012/2013 E Exploratory campaign 40% Solimões S 60% Exploratory campaign E Namíbia N SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY In the Solimões Basin, HRT continued with its Program for Germplasm Recovery and Restoration of Degraded Areas. Our researchers remain in the field performing floristic inventories in order to characterize the work area. Work has begun on the Program for the Environmental Education of Workers (PEAT), with the aim of increasing environmental awareness for the employees of HRT and those of hired companies working at our facilities. The Residue Management Program is up and running, providing suitable destination for the residues generated by our operating activities. In 1Q12, renewal of environmental licenses was granted for the activities of seismic data acquisition in the Blocks SOL-T-168, SOL-T-217 and SOL-T-218, and also for drilling in Blocks SOL-T-148 and SOL-T-149. All the aforementioned | Page 9 | 1Q12 licenses were issued by the Environmental Protection Institute of the Amazonas State (IPAAM). In addition to these licenses, IPAAM granted a Vegetable Suppression Authorization (ASV) for locations 191-3 and 170-10, and also renewed the Operating License for the Manaus Base. In the Safety sphere, the Safety Orientation Program (PROSA) and the Observe, Stop and Act Program (OPA) are still up and running in all our areas of operation, with significant results. HRT's target is "zero accidents" and all efforts are taken to ensure this is met. Over the period, the Social Responsibility Team carried out a Social Communication Plan in Carauari in the communities Ponte do Gavião, APLUB and Vila Nova (located around BAJUR). The purpose of this plan was to assure a communication channel between the company and neighboring communities, reducing potential impacts caused by our E&P activities and maximizing benefits, by addressing queries and providing information on safety. Meetings were held in the communities and disclosure work was carried out at the homes of the residents. HRT O&G, in partnership with the Brazilian Army, carried out Civil-Social Action (ACISO) at the Community of Vila Moura (neighbor of the Tefé Support Base – BATE 1), yet again enabling the company to be present in the communities and to promote local development. It was incumbent upon HRT to provide logistical support and to provide the material necessary to perform the action and upon the Army to provide the service and the manpower. The action took place over one week, culminating on March 8 and 9 when medical and dental assistances were provided, along with the distribution of school and mouth hygiene kits. In addition, there were the opening of a community center and the delivery of refurbished resident houses and two flour houses (Casa de Farinha). HRT has become the signatory of the principles of the Global Pact, the objective of which is to mobilize the international business community to adopt in its business practices fundamental and internationally-accepted values in the fields of human rights, work relations, the environment and anti-corruption practices. The company considers the ten principles of the Global Pact to be a strategic part of its corporate business, and hereby declares its effort to implement these principles via its communication channels for all publics of interest and to communicate, on an annual basis, its implementation efforts by way of the Communication of Progress (COP) on the Global Pact website of the United Nations. Medical assistance, ambulatory nursing and urgent and emergency assistance continue to be carried out at the drilling sites and support bases, bringing benefits to the riverside communities near the facilities on the Tefé River and in the city of Carauari. The Monitoring and Control Program of vectorial transmission Diseases (malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and filariasis) has been executed as scheduled, with emphasis on preventive actions. The field teams have carried out various health education activities for workers and residents of the community, with a view to preventing accidents and diseases. In the municipality of Carauari, a partnership has been established with the Health Surveillance Foundation (FVS) in order to diminish the number of cases of malaria in the region. HRT has provided qualified technicians and is currently in the process of acquiring various items of equipment that will subsequently be donated to the FVS for the benefit of the locals. In a pioneer initiative in the oil sector, HRT has launched the Green Barrel Program. For each barrel produced by the company in the Solimões Basin (AM), R$ 1.00 will be allocated for the conservation of the jungle and for improvement in the quality of the local residents. Additionally, the company will encourage the generation of a work market for the population of the State of Amazonas. This is socio-environmental oil, bringing progress and preserving nature. HRT plans to implement the Green Barrel everywhere it operates. In Namibia, for each barrel of oil produced in the country, N$ 1.00 (one Namibian dollar) will be destined for projects that foster local sustainable development and projects related to the conservation of the region's marine ecosystem. In Namibia, the environmental impact studies for the grant of the Drilling License for all HRT's blocks in the Orange and Walvis Basins, on the coast of Namibia, are underway, as foreseen in the business schedule. | Page 10 | 1Q12 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FINANCE REVIEW The HRT Group, by way of its subsidiary HRT O&G, has evolved from its exploratory campaign in 1Q12 in the Solimões Basin, in Brazil, and has started the evaluation process for the search of a partner to explore the blocks in Namibia, significantly advancing the 3D seismic mapping for this region. Besides the operating aspects, it is important to mention the ANP's approval on March 28, 2012 of the transfer of 45% interest held by HRT O&G to TNK Brasil, a Brazilian subsidiary of the TNK-BP group. This transfer was responsible for the main accounting effects of the transaction entered into on October 31, 2011, the records being posted in 1Q12, significantly contributing to the positive result for this period. The table below shows the Company's summarized consolidated results, which include the results of its subsidiaries HRT O&G, IPEX, HRT Netherlands, HRT America, HRT Africa, HRT Canada and Air Amazonia.

Furthermore, the positive result deriving from posting the sale transaction regarding the interests in exploration blocks should not be considered as recurrent. | Page 11 | 1Q12 1Q12 RESULTS The net operating revenue and the costs of services provided were recorded by the subsidiary IPEX which obtained revenue from geochemical and biostratigraphical analyses for third parties. Consolidated EBITDA was positive at R$ 58.6 million, influenced by recognizing the capital gain, before income tax and social contribution, on the transfer of 45% interest over the 21 blocks in Solimões from HRT O&G to TNK Brasil. The gain, in the amount of R$ 186 million, was the result of the equivalent difference in Brazilian reais between the sales value, USD 1 billion, and the cost of the asset acquisition, R$1.3 billion, cost to which the transfer to Petra of 50% of the gross margin over this transaction was added. The transaction is supported by letter of credit issued by TNK-Brasil in favor of HRT O&G, which will be paid in 5 half-yearly installments. The first payment, amounting to USD 200 million, was received by HRT in April 2012. In this 1st quarter, the Company intensified cost control, implemented new management processes and project monitoring, reviewed its organizational structure, including the strengthening of the corporate role of the holding company HRT Participações, with a view to obtaining greater synergy in management and control of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The initial results can be seen in the 5% reduction in total general and administrative expenses (personnel, third party services, general, administrative and others) which fell by 5% compared to the prior quarter. Adding the reductions in expenses with geology and geophysics to the tune of 42%, the overall expenses reduction amounts to about 22%. Within its restructuring plan, the HRT Group adjusted its staff number, having closed 1Q12 with 514 employees (600 in 4Q11). It also began to include some representatives of TNK-BP in the analysis and execution of work. In 1Q12, the Company posted financial revenues of R$ 42 million (R$ 46 million in 4Q11) relating to the return from financial investment. The reduction was due to the gradual fall in the basic interest rate of the Brazilian economy and the monthly decrease in the average cash balance, as a result of accelerating its exploration campaigns in Solimões and in Namibia. The increase in expenses with taxes and contributions is mainly due to the tax costs inherent to the capital gain from the sale of participating interest to TNK-Brasil, already deducted from the tax credits on current and deferred losses. With these results, the Company ended 1Q12 with net income of R$ 53 million compared to a loss of R$ 136 million in 4Q11.

Named after the David Cronenberg film, this is the blog of former RogerEbert.com editor Jim Emerson, where he has chronicled his enthusiasms and indulged his whims since 2005. Favorite subjects include evidence-based movie criticism, cinematic form and style, comedy, logical reasoning, language, journalism, technology, epistemology and fun. No topic is off-limits, but critical thinking is required.
Here goes. For the time being, I'm just going to offer up the answers to the Opening Shots Pop Quiz, without further elaboration or analysis in most cases -- because these shots are so great they deserve full Opening Shots treatments of their own. (And you, by the way, are welcome to provide them if you are so inclined!)
1. "Sherlock, Jr." (Buster Keaton, 1924)
OK, let me just say a few words about this one: It's nothing more than a traditional interior establishing shot, lasting only a few seconds before a closer shot succeeds it. We can see it's inside a movie theater, between shows because the house lights are up. There's a pile of trash and a broom leaning against an aisle seat in the back row. And a porkpie hat floats above a book in the hands of... who? Well, the janitor, probably. Only, of course, it turns out to be Buster, and he's also the projectionist. And the book he's reading is about how to become a detective... All the ingredients of this masterpiece of movie-love are present in this one image.
2. "A History of Violence" (2005) by David Cronenberg
It was clear Cronenberg's film was one of last year's best by the end of this single shot.

10. "M" (1931) by Fritz Lang
11. "Three Kings" (1999) by David O. Russell

The U.S. Pacific Air Forces will benefit greatly from combining its A-3 and A-6, said its director of communications and chief information officer. The concept of cyber readiness has a different perspective from the operations side and the cyber side. This consolidation helps provide warfighting integration across the entire network.
The United States must weigh its command and control (C2) capabilities before it embarks on a military plan instead of the other way around, according to the vice commander, U.S. Pacific Air Forces. Lt. Gen. Stanley T. Kresge, USAF, told the opening luncheon audience in TechNet Asia-Pacific 2013 in Honolulu, Hawaii, that vulnerabilities have increased the importance of C2 in planning and execution.
U.S. forces may be over relying on cyber to meet challenges in the Asia-Pacific region at a time when potential adversaries view it as a key to disrupting U.S. operations, according to the top leaders of the U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM). Lt. Gen. Thomas L. Conant, USMC, deputy commander of PACOM, offered that U.S. forces must expect to operate without at least some of their cyber assets in a time of conflict.
Eight emerging cybersecurity technologies developed by the Department of Energy's National Laboratories will be featured at the Transition-to-Practice Technology Demonstration Day for Investors, Integrators and IT Companies East event on December 18 in Washington, D.C.
Members of President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology have found that cybersecurity for government and industry organizations requires a set of processes that continuously couple information about an evolving threat to defensive reactions and responses. In a report to the president, the council shared its six findings and correlating recommendations for remedies to better security information technology in both the public and private sectors.
Two pictures have taken up residence in my mind over the past few weeks. They highlight the growing disconnect between the U.S. Defense Department and the broader strategic environment—not just in terms of geopolitics but also in the way the rest of the world lives, works and interacts.
The critical infrastructure must address cyberthreats in a manner different from that of conventional information technology systems.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is seeking participants for the Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP), which is expected to open to beta users in January. The ultimate goal for the marketplace is to help protect the nation's critical infrastructure by improving software used for essential functions.
The new head of the U.S. Army Cyber Command cites the importance of looking carefully at what cyberwarriors do to determine how best to manage the men and women tasked with protecting the service's information technology networks. This focus on personnel addresses challenges ranging from retaining talent to ensuring that cyber operations have the best resources—human and technological—for their mission.
Defense sector-specific solutions are driving growth in the cybersecurity market and will continue to do so through 2016. According to a Research and Markets report, the escalating amount of data stored in defense information systems and the increased number of cyberthreats are a major driver of this trend.
The U.S. Air Force cyber community is failing for a single fundamental reason: the community does not exist. In 2010, the communications community began to be identified as the cyber community. An operational cyberspace badge was created, and those who previously had been communications professionals now were seen as cyberwarriors. This change did not effectively take into account that cyber and communications are two distinct fields and should be entirely separate communities.
Dr. Scott Wells, co-founder and chief architect of the Social Media Security Professional (SMSP) certification, Ultimate Knowledge Institute, shares some little-known facts about the threats social media pose to organizations and individuals.
Think you know your way around the internet? Even the most seasoned web surfer makes mistakes, and new phishing and linkjacking techniques pop up all the time. This quiz will help you identify and address your own security weaknesses.
You may be away from the office, but you should never take a vacation from cybersecurity. Keep these tips from Patrick J. Kelly in mind on your next trip.
Intelligence needs cyber, and cyber needs intelligence. How they can function symbiotically is a less clear-cut issue, with challenges ranging from training to legal policy looming as government officials try to respond to a burgeoning cyber threat.
In the most recent U.S. defense guidance of January 2012, signed for emphasis by both the president and the secretary of defense, cyber was one of the few areas that received both emphasis and increased funding—no small feat in the current budget environment. Part of that emphasis and increased funding goes to the intelligence community to support the cyber domain. Such support requires an expansion of the intelligence mission set, new processes and tools, and new interfaces to the operational community now emerging to command and control the cyber domain.
U.S. Army researchers are developing a software program that will provide signal corps officers will an improved common operating picture of the network, enhance the ability to manage the plethora of electronic systems popping up on the modern battlefield, advance information sharing capabilities and allow warfighters to make more informed and more timely decisions. In short, the system will assist in planning, building, monitoring and defending the network.
Biometrics is on the verge of becoming more pervasive than ever in everyday life, setting the stage for personal identifiers to take the place of other common security measures. The expansion mirrors increased usage in fields such as military operations, citizen enrollment and public safety.
This is an important question for a number of reasons. Popular media often talk about the growing shortage of skilled cybersecurity workers needed to fill critical open positions both in government and the private sector. This is true, but employers need specific details on the work force so they can make informed decisions about whom to hire and potential employees need to know what to study to position themselves to be hired.
Recent insider security breaches have put increased scrutiny on the U.S. intelligence community's cloud computing plans. But cloud computing initiatives remain unchanged as the technology is expected to enhance cybersecurity and provide analysts with easier ways to do their jobs in less time.

World Has Forgotten Gaza, But Gazan Children Can't Forget
Ramadan 2014 was approaching. I had been waiting for this month all year. It was a time for spiritual reflection, increased worship, long hours in the mosque for night prayers, internal serenity, and forgiveness from our God. This year was different. This year there was no internal serenity. This year I was hurting, grief-stricken, heart-broken, I was sobbing at my TV. And how could I not when Gaza was being blown apart, torn into pieces, it was being destroyed right in front of my eyes and I could do nothing. It seemed like the world did nothing.

Who Really 'Won' the Gaza Conflict?
By Aya Nimer
After 50 days of combat in which more than 2,100 Palestinians, 64 Israeli soldiers and five Israeli citizens killed, many analysts are arguing over who really won the war based on the treaty signed in Egypt on Tuesday. The problem with this analysis, however, is that it does not look at the general effects of the conflict on its participants.
Chicago Protesters Disrupt Israel Fundraiser
Attendees of the Jewish United Fund "Chicago Stands With Israel" fundraiser at the Chicago Hilton last night were met with over 250 protestors picketing outside as well as a die-in representing the continued Palestinian civilians deaths in Gaza. What they didn't expect was multiple protestors from Jewish Voice for Peace and Jews for Justice in Palestine inside the venue disrupting the speeches of Mayor Rahn Emmanuel and former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren.
Chicago Protests Media Silence on Palestinian Deaths in Gaza
Last Sunday, an estimated 8,000 people protested in Chicago against the media silence on the over 2,000 deaths in Gaza during the current conflict. Proving the point, the protest was barely covered by the local media.
Chicago Media Coverage of the Assault on Gaza is Insulting
It's no secret that the mainstream American media is biased when it comes to covering the assault on Gaza. On July 7, a few days after the start of the Muslim holy month, Ramadan, Israel began a military offensive called "Operation Protective Edge." Since then over 1,400 Gazans have been killed and over 8,000 injured.
NBC Chicago Made a Mistake by Connecting Hate Crime to Sunday
To the editor of the CBS Chicago online publication,
Monday, Jul 21, 2014, NBC Chicago posted a report about a leaflet threatening crimes against the Jewish community if Israel does not end its siege of Gaza. NBC Chicago made a mistake by connecting this hate crime to Sunday's peaceful Chicago protest against Israel's strikes on Gaza. The fact is, there are hate crimes against both Jews and Muslims in Chicago, and trying to make the Israel-Palestine Conflict a religious issue only adds to this problem.
OP/ED Operation Dani: Lydda and Ramle Remembered in light of recent atrocities in Gaza
By Tarek Khalil
Israel was founded on the ruins of Palestinian society. Along the way in that Zionist quest, many massacres occurred, many lives were lost, dispossessed, and many villages were destroyed. Some 90 percent of the Palestinians living in historic Palestine were driven out, many by psychological warfare and/or military pressure. Well-known and widely documented examples of outright expulsion include the Palestinian towns of Lydda and Ramle, located roughly halfway between Jaffa and Jerusalem.
Chicago & the World Protest Collective Punishment of Palestinians
Over 1000 people from a coalition of Chicagoland Palestinians, along with members of student, faith-based, human rights and social justice groups, turned out for a rally and march last Saturday to demand an end to collective punishment of Palestinians and demand justice for all Palestinians killed in the Israeli Army's "Operation Brother's Keeper". Chicago was joined by similar protests in more than 40 cities world-wide including Washington DC, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Seattle, Dearborn, Brooklyn, Atlanta, San Francisco, Boston, Houston, Denver, New Orleans, Philadelphia, London, Galway, Paris, Brussels, Melbourne, and Madrid. Now with the launch a few hours ago of "Operation Protective Edge" against Gaza, global protests may soon be returning to the streets.

"The return address label saves my 10 year old son a lot of time on his thank you cards. I bought these along with the paint ball thank you cards. They are the perfect accompaniment. The blue is beautiful and the splat is all boy. Along with the paint ball thank you cards, the return address labels give a very professional look to my son's thank you cards. I'm impressed!"
"The labels are very nice and exactly what I was looking for. I love the two colors. The flowers are so dainty. I will order these again."
"ordered these to match the "officially growing: begonia" birthday invitations. they match perfectly. very happy with my purchase."
"The image and text print quality are great. The flower has good color and the text is very easy to read. (I used the same font for name and address.) Really brighten up a plain white envelope."
"Out of all the labels I recently bought, this one was by far my favorite one. The printing was great and it looks so adorable. I can't wait to order more!"
