What are you prepared to do?Wednesday, July 27th, 2005
The bullets might have come from the barrel of a London cop's pistol, but make no mistake about it – they were delivered by Islamic terrorists. And before you go passing judgment on overzealous officers and a police policy that seems inhumane, try to imagine yourself in their shoes.
Or just wait a few weeks – when you are in their shoes.
Sooner or later, the terrorist bombings that have gripped London in a state of fear and anxiety will move further west, and it will be one of our own cities that faces a lethal decision on how to best protect its citizens. London police commissioner Sir Ian Blair has made his decision: "Shoot to kill in order to protect."
And despite a tragic mistake on a metropolitan tube train, the people of Great Britain support him.
Do you?
I've struggled mightily with this issue since the failed July 21 attacks on London and the shooting of a suspected suicide bomber the day after. My first reaction to the news that a would-be bomber had been killed was one of strong support for the police. I applauded their heroism as they were quickly able to assess the threat of yet another suicide bomber and eliminate it before any more innocent lives were lost.
But my second reaction was different.
What if he wasn't a terrorist? I wondered. What if he was running to catch a train, and not from the police? What if his thick winter coat on a hot summer day simply made him weird – instead of wired?
Friday became Saturday, and Saturday was Sunday before I finally heard the news. And each time I looked for it, I hoped to God I'd learn that the detectives had saved the lives of dozens of passengers, rather than taking one from an innocent civilian. When the truth was known, it was like a kick in the gut.
It's sometimes easy to disconnect ourselves from a tragic story like this, because we're not in London and we don't know any Brazilian electricians who have been shot. It's not in our backyard yet, so we don't have to make the decision on what's right, what's wrong, and what goes too far when it comes to securing ourselves.
That's why it's so important to remember that London isn't the terrorists' final target.
There will come a time when it's an American city, be it Washington D.C. or New York or Philadelphia or wherever. Bombs will explode and terrorists will be sought, and we'll ask our police to find them and stop them. And when that time comes, we will all be forced to answer a difficult question.
The question was delivered by Sean Connery to Kevin Costner in "The Untouchables," as Connery's grizzled cop lay dying, imploring Elliot Ness to finish the job against Al Capone.
"What … are … you … prepared … to do?" he spits through his final breath.
Well? What are you prepared to do? Are you prepared to support the use of deadly force against bombing suspects, the consequences of a tragic mistake be damned?
Or will you demand due process and civil rights, hoping against hope that one brave cop is able to tackle and disarm a would-be bomber before he detonates?
What are you prepared to do?
The image of an innocent American citizen lying in a subway car with a heavy coat on his body and five bullets in his head, guilty of nothing more than running from large men with guns who may or may not be policemen, is abhorrent. It's hard to imagine the anger and frustration we would feel toward the men and women in blue who mistakenly pulled their triggers.
But the image of dozens of mangled, bloody bodies among the twisted wreckage of a train or bus is even more grotesque, and it's hard to imagine the anger and frustration we would feel toward the men and women in blue who hesitated at the moment of truth and did not pull their triggers.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and we have to trust that those in our government and in our uniforms will make the right decisions for all of us. There would be no greater tragedy than to see a preventable act of mass murder carried out because public opinion made a good cop flinch.
What are you prepared to do?

Art attack raises blood pressureWednesday, July 27th, 2005
We give the most complicated concepts perversely brief, three-letter names:
If these elusive entities carried labels as long as their definitions are fluid, spelling bees would be mind-punishing marathons.
Art played a central role in my weekend. Friday, we drove to the Ann Arbor Art Fair, which was in Ann Arbor, and did feature art, but proved anything but fair. As we perused the scores of booths, admiring the watercolors, sculptures in everything from metal to wax, fabrics and other creations, a small coal of resentment began to burn inside me. It was incredible to view the stunning collection of human creativity; it was galling to observe the prices being asked for scraps of driftwood and paint on canvas.
I called it Painter's Paradox; an opportunity to bring one's art to the masses, while pricing it to the exclusion of all but the wealthiest. Price tags in the thousands were common. Price tags in the hundreds were the norm.
A great number of families walked the art fair, and I wondered what message the younger observers were taking away. The magnificent chance to share the wonder of art was beaten into submission by the will of commerce.
I do not wish all artists to be of the starving variety, but to make acres of art inaccessible to the average home seems elitist and counterproductive to the gifts these people have nurtured.
Did it cost that painter $5,000 to make her masterpiece of black triangles streaked with angry red slashes, or was she hoping to make 10 quick sales and vacation the rest of the year? I do not know; maybe Crayons are going on the black market for $700 each. Is there a man set up in Ann Arbor's alleys, opening a trench coat to reveal Jazzberry Jam for $600, Magic Mint for $800, buy both and receive Crab Claw Red for just $300?
I enjoyed mental visions of walking back to my car after all the people had left the streets and driving over and through every booth, smashing the corrupt system to a pulp and forcing it to start over. I envisioned myself as a beret-clad revolutionary, grinding $6,500 oil paintings and $4,000 watercolors under the wheels of working-class justice.
More than a few times, my wife caught me humming a forced medley of "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner and John Lennon's "Power to the People."
Saturday, we visited the Toledo Museum of Art, which features super-sized colorful banners reading, "Come on in to your museum" on the Monroe Street entrance.
I could feel my pallet, and my palette, cleansing.
What a wonder Edward Drummond Libbey and his wife bequeathed us. Picasso. Van Gogh. Pollack. Rodin. Warhol. O'Keefe. Scores more. All on display, and all for free. No admission charge.
The galleries hold enough works to enthrall one's imagination and intellect for days. It's overwhelming, trying to take it all in, this major, world-class gift. And while you can't take any of it home to hang crookedly above your fireplace, the experience leaves you richer in ways a $3,000 tie-dyed mitten will not.
My impressions can be summed up with the simplest words.
Ann Arbor Art Fair: Bad.
Toledo Museum of Art: Wow.

UC signs Maumee track starWednesday, July 20th, 2005
On paper, Cory Huber is a track star destined for greatness at the University of Cincinnati. The Maumee High School graduate holds a record of achievements two pages long, including the school record in the 300-meter hurdles and pole vault, along with team Sprinter of the Year as a sophomore.
"She was a team leader pretty much all the way through her career," Maumee girls' track coach Loren Burkey said. "She's always been very much into track, and I think that helped the team out quite a bit because they see girls that are committed to doing something."
As the Northern Lakes League champion in the 100-meter hurdles her junior and senior year and 300-meter hurdles also her senior year, Huber was a model of excellence for other hurdlers, according to Angie Sugg, Huber's hurdle coach since she began participating in the event in the seventh grade.
"She's definitely the fastest hurdler I have coached in 12 years, without a question," Sugg said. "She is a tenacious athlete. She's the kind of athlete that coaches really love having … She would spend hours practicing. I would have to kick her off the track as a freshman and a sophomore because she was just non-stop until she got it right."
After successful freshman, sophomore and junior seasons, Huber's senior season was not picture perfect. In the season's first track meet, Huber pulled her left hamstring, a painful injury that can be debilitating for track athletes and one that held her out of the majority of the regular season.
"It was tough because it was senior year and I wanted to be good and go to States," Huber said. "But I think it was a blessing because I learned from it and how to deal with it."
During the weeks of physical therapy, Huber faced frequent questioning in school from teammates wanting to know when they would get their leader back.
She also began to realize her dreams of breaking more school records and personal bests would not happen.
"There were a lot of tears shed through that whole time," her mother, Diane Huber, said. "She was so frustrated. She just wanted to get back and start running."
But Huber overcame the untimely adversity, returning to the track a week before the Northern Lakes League championships. After placing first at the NLL and district meets and second at regionals by one one-hundredths of a second, Huber advanced to the state meet in Columbus. Attention from recruiters she expected to have all season also began increasing.
Soon after the state meet, where she finished 13th in the 100-meter hurdles, Cincinnati offered her a scholarship and a spot on its roster for next season. Huber signed her national letter of intent July 8.
"It was awesome how everything turned out, and I worked hard through it all," Huber said. "But it was a struggle."
Huber said what appealed to her the most about the University of Cincinnati was the family atmosphere of the team.
With only one other hurdler in the program, Huber said there may be an opportunity for her to contribute immediately.
"I took forever to choose a college because I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go," she said. "Cincinnati just came at the last moment, and everything worked out."
The future Bearcat, who graduated in June with a 3.7 GPA, made the honor roll in every quarter of her high school career and was inducted into the school's National Honor Society her junior year.
Huber also is an active member in Young Life, a Christian youth organization, and has an extensive volunteering background, having worked at St. Luke's Hospital and the Northwest Ohio Development Center.
"I was pretty much well-rounded in every single way," Huber said.

Fiddler Charlie Daniels sings songs of the SouthWednesday, July 20th, 2005
Charlie Daniels will rosin up his bow and play his fiddle hard when he brings his band to town at 8 p.m. July 29 at Harley-Davidson, 7960 Central Ave.
"We've played for the bikers for years," Daniels said last week from a tour stop in Choctaw, Miss. "We play the same stuff for them. We do songs that people have a right to expect us to do, the songs they play on the radio and TV ("The Devil Went Down to Georgia," "Long Haired Country Boy," "The Legend of Wooley Swamp"), and we do some new songs and a few surprises."
His latest disc, "Songs From the Longleaf Pines," was released in March. The gospel and bluegrass collection is the 45th release in Daniels' career and is dedicated to Russell Palmer, who taught him his first guitar chord.
"My family always loved music, but we didn't play," Daniels said. "Russell came out one day with an old guitar. He knew two and a half chords on it, and we started from there."
Daniels learned the mandolin along with the guitar and one year later picked up a fiddle at age 16.
"I don't know which way my life would have went if Russell hadn't come out with that guitar," said the native of Wilmington, N.C.
Russell helped launch a legend known for his Southern music, Western attire, patriotic verve and spirited storytelling.
"I come from a time when the storyteller was revered. I didn't see a picture on the TV set until I was 15 years old. We listened to the radio," Daniels said. "You had to draw your own pictures. I've always had a vivid imagination, and I always wanted to write even when I was very young. And I found I had a little talent in that direction."
That talent is evident with the hits "The South's Gonna Do It Again," "Still in Saigon," "In America" and "This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag," which he wrote after Sept. 11, 2001.
"Patriotism is really strong in America. As much as I travel — coast to coast, border to border — I know this," Daniels said. "I can't speak for Hollywood or segments of the media, but as far as rank and file citizens go, people who get out there and get the job done, patriotism is very strong."
Last spring, Daniels and his band showed their support and entertained American troops in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and Germany.
"We visited one of Saddam's palaces, it was incredibly lavish; This guy had like 200 of these things in the country. And so much of the country's resources he used on himself and his family while folks lived in abject poverty," Daniels said. "Our troops are very welcome in Iraq. I don't know why the media aren't reporting that."
Daniels had the chance to sit in one of Saddam's chairs. "I was trying to show as much disrespect as I could and still stay decent," he said with a laugh.
Tickets for the concert are $27.50 in advance and $30 at the gate.

The Intrepid Investor – How are biofuels IPOs performing and why
The Intrepid Investor – How are biofuels IPOs performing and why
This is a series by BiofuelsDigest.
Who's up, who's down, who's in the queue, and where might all this take us? Plus, an important update from Coskata.
In Part I, today, we look at the performance of the six IPOs to date in the aftermarket, the Ceres IPO which is ready to price its IPO tonight, and look towards the IPO queue at important changes in Coskata's recent filings.
In Part II, tomorrow, we look at how Ceres performed, we'll have an update on Amyris, and we'll look at the other companies in the IPO pipeline – Myriant, PetroAlgae, BioAmber, Elevance, Genomatica, Enerkem, Mascoma, and Fulcrum Bioenergy.
Who should care about IPOs and company performance? Well, investors, without question. But other producers too – as 'news you can use' and also because strong IPOs mean strong investor interest in venture funds. Policymakers, too – strong IPOs make viable companies and drive commercialization and balance sheets that lead to scale. Plus, the R&D community – IPOs offer indicators of the direction research will take, as well as making strong collaborative partners.
For the intrepid retail investor, IPOs have been running hot, performing cold. Though many early-stage venture capital investors can still realize returns on their investments in companies such as Codexis, Amyris, Solazyme, KiOR, REG or Gevo – for the average small investor, it has been a rough ride.
In the IPO window that opened in April 2010 with Codexis' successful IPO, six companies in the biofuels and renewable chemicals sector have gone public, and as a class they are between 8 and 61 percent off their IPO price.
Crushed in the aftermarket
It wasn't always so. Last spring, as Gevo and Solazyme were going public, the stocks were flying off the shelf, and investors pushed stocks like AMRS as high as $33.85, SZYM up to $27.47, and GEVO up to $26.36.
|IPO Date
|IPO Price
|Post IPO Hi
|Market cap ($M)
|Renewable Energy Group
Since then, most of the companies have stayed entirely in line with their original plans, as expressed to their investors in there pre-IPO road shows and beyond, and most have stayed in line with their technical and economic targets and on their growth curve. Market reaction? They got crushed.
Accordingly, we can see the current price environment as more of a measure of the public's appetite for risk (like, about zero), than as a verdict on the technologies and companies themselves. The stocks went through dizzying declines that pushed the Biofuels Digest Index by almost 15 percent in six months, and individual stocks lost as much as 75 percent of their value.
The Recovery
Generally, the six (REGI, being only three weeks in the public markets, doesn't factor much in to the aftermarket analysis), have recovered off their lows. Gevo has rebounded 80 percent from its $5.04 low, Solazyme (SZYM) has recovered 53 percent to $11.78, and KIOR is up 50 percent to $13.01.
But market caps tell a story about the expectations of the market, in a different way than price does – who is expected to go big? There. we see a lot of differentiation. Pyrolysis rules – KIOR, with its $1.3 billion market cap, leads the way. The remainder, with the exception of REG, are fermentation technologies. There, Solazyme is in the $700 million range, Amyris trails at $400 million, and the rest are in the $180 million to $243 million range.
REG, which focuses on transesterification of veggie and waste oils into biodiesel, is at the top of the trailing class, at $264 million.
Opportunity? GEVO, KiOR and SZYM are trading close to their most recent $9, $14 and $13 targets (respectively, as projected by Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov), while AMRS has a pretty good upside, with a target price of $20, as of December.
The Ceres IPO
Ceres is expected to price tonight, and has dramatically cut its expected price range to $16-$17, down from the $21-$23 range expected just a few weeks ago.
It's been a common theme. Amyris struggled on price at the gate, as well as Codexis and KiOR, and more recently, Renewable Energy Group. Gevo and Solazyme performed better in the IPO itself, but of course have fallen off substantially since.
Now, Ceres is the first of the biotechnology feedstock plays to come to market. It's upside? Potentially, there are a lot of customers for energy cane, switchgrass and sweet sorghum, among the crops targeted by the company, which focuses on improving traits such as salt tolerance, drought-resistance and works on yield enhancement.
Coskata, INEOS Bio settle lawsuit: Coskata revises S-1
Moving over to Coskata, the company recently revised its IPO documentation to reflect a settlement of its lawsuit with INEOS Bio, which reflected a trade secret dispute.
From the revised S-1: "On January 12, 2012, the parties signed a settlement agreement in which they agreed to dismiss all claims. Pursuant to the settlement, Ineos will receive from us a $2.5 million cash payment and 2,125,000 shares of Series D preferred stock, after which all the asserted claims will be dismissed, and a mutual release of future claims will become effective.
"However, the release does not preclude Ineos from bringing claims against us arising out of conduct occurring after the effective date of the settlement agreement, or from bringing certain claims against us arising out of conduct prior to the effective date of the settlement agreement.
"In addition, Ineos has the right to receive 2.5% of future ethanol royalties and license fees received by us from third parties who license our technology, subject to a cap with a net present value of $20 million, which will be increased based on future interest rates."
Bottom line for INEOS? Validation, broadly speaking, of their claims of harm, and some potentially valuable relief through participation in Coskata's upside. For Coskata, the company has more freedom to operate, and can offer a far greater degree of certainty on IP risk to its investors in the IPO process
Other Coskata IPO updates? Shutdown of the demo plant; aiming at natural gas and biomass mix?
The most striking update is that the company quietly shut down its Lighthouse demonstration unit in Madison, Pennsylvania.
The company explains: "We suspended continuous operations at Lighthouse due to the considerable costs associated with such operations and because our key objectives for operating the facility had been met. These objectives included confirming commercial design metrics, testing commercial-ready microbial strains and demonstrating the conversion of multiple feedstocks into ethanol. Most of Lighthouse's personnel were relocated to the research facility at our headquarters in Warrenville, Illinois. Our Lighthouse facility is available to be restarted as new micro-organisms are ready for evaluation at this scale and the site lease is extended."
Another update? Coskata might well be joining the group of XTL technologies. This is a group of technologies that are working on a broader set of feedstocks than biomass (BTL), including natural gas (GTL) and in some cases coal-to-liquid (CTL). In its revised filing, Coskata has signaled its interest in working with natural gas, which itself has attracted increasing attention from the Obama Administration and the Congress as a base for enhancing energy security.
The company explains: "We plan to install a natural gas reformer to ensure a continuous supply of syngas. Consistent with operations at our Lighthouse facility, we expect to operate this reformer on a nearly continuous basis. It is therefore likely that a portion of the ethanol produced at Phase I will not be considered renewable."
The bottom line for Coskata: freedom to operate, and conserving cash through shutdown of the demonstration unit, which after 15,000 hours had likely yielded up all the engineering data needed for the first commercial plant. Its tough not to be able to work on demonstrating other feedstocks, but Coskata's focus is clearly on the first commercial facility, and taking on other challenges later. Tough business decisions, and a transformative technology: two reasons why Coskata has quietly emerged as a favorite among analysts looking at the IPO pipeline.
In California, Amyris announced major changes to its financing, strategy and near-term production targets, disclosing that it has produced only 1 million liters of biofene to date at three tolling facilities, compared to a 2011 target of 9 million liters originally set in April 2011, and reduced to 1-2 million liters in an update later in the year.
Abandoning previous cash flow, production targets
In other news, the company abandoned its 2012 production target of 40-50 million liters of biofene for 2012, after reconfirming that target last year at the time it dropped its 2011 forecast down to 1-2 million liters. At the time, the company described the reduced 2011 volumes as a reflection of difficulty in start-up that would not affect its 2012 production plan.
Raising more capital
As a result, the company also abandoned its forecast on positive cash flow, and said that, in order to strengthen its finances, it has commenced raising a private equity round, of undisclosed amounts, which it "expect to close with investors who know us well." The company said that it had also obtained up to $40 million in project finance, of which $10 million was already funded.
Difficulties reaching targeted production yields at scale
In recognizing its production difficulties, Amyris CEO John Melo said that the company had had more difficulty than expected in translating peak yields in the lab to stable and reliable production at scale.
The company said that it had increased its production rates to expected levels, at all three of its contract fermentation sites.
Focus on high-value products; high-volume through JVs
Accordingly, the company said that it had also abandoned plans to directly produce high-volume products, such as fuels, through its own commercial plants, but would focus on production of high-volume products through its joint ventures with Total and Cosan, and would focus its own commercialization efforts on high-value polymers, flavors & fragrances, cosmetics, and consumer products.
Melo said that the company was producing at Tate & Lyle and Antibioticos; he said that the company had had significant operational issues in 2011 at Biomin, but had stabilized that operation by year end. stable at end of 2011 at Biomin.
Abandoning production expansion for now at Antibioticos
In recognizing the operational challenges of translating yields in the lab to commercial-scale production, and the resulting drop in production volumes, and pressure on the company's cash and tea, Melo said that the company would abandon plans to simultaneously expand production capacity at Antibioticos as well as establishing its new production facility at Paraiso – and instead would focus solely on completing its Paraiso facility.
Melo said that, following completion of the 50 million liter facility at Paraiso, it would focus on completing its 100M liter San Martinho project. Melo confirmed that the company would maintain its contracts for access to feedstock, and described the changes in ramp-up strategy as being conservative and prudent with cash.
Melo, who noted that he is "proud of team's accomplishment and humbled by the challenges," said that the company would no longer set production targets, but would instead make quarterly announcement of production volumes achieved.
Analyst Reaction: Cowen & Co, Raymond James
In a generally positive note to investors, Rob Stone and James Medvedeff of Cowen & Co wrote: "The stock will likely be depressed N-T, but we believe the L-T opportunity is unchanged. It has produced 1MM+ liters to date and is delivering to customers. Feedstock supply, collaborations, and Total R&D funding remain in place. By 2013, we believe multi-plant ramp plans could resume."
A more sanguine Pavel Molchano at Raymond James writes: "While we had previously considered Amyris to have the most rapid timeline to profitability within the peer group, today we are suspending our rating, pending additional details on the 4Q11 call (February 27). We are providing new estimates – though, to be clear, our conviction in these new numbers is very low. Bottom line: We remain positive on Amyris' positioning in the Gen2 biofuels space, and we don't think that yesterday's news permanently condemns its technology platform. That said, it will clearly take time for the growth curve to materialize – and for the stock to get out of its penalty box."
The Bottom Line
A massive set of changes for the company, which will accordingly be announcing higher losses in 2012 than expected, and presumably in 2011 as well when it announces its full year results later this month. For sure, the changes in strategy are prudent given the company's situation.
Critics are bound to point out that the company went to the public markets in its IPO without conducting a more thorough demonstration of its technology at sufficient scale, to eliminate the risk of problems of this magnitude happening post-IPO (and after the company had issued targets of 40-50 million liters of production in 2012).
It can be expected that the announcement will cast a pall over companies that are coming to market without demonstrations of the technology at sufficient scale, and could well have a knock-on effect on the valuation of other companies also using advanced fermentation technologies and still going through scale-up.
With Amyris, as with all early stage companies, we re-caution investors as we did in May 2011: "Use this owners guide to measure progress – analysts are using it too, to project value and set target prices. Watch the flow of announcements – is Amyris hitting its targets in terms of market entries, and timelines."

Below is the poem entitled deadly games which was written by poet
May. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Joseph May
Beneath a columned structure people watch
As man and beast compete in a deadly match
Soon the drama before them will unfold
A drama contested by the very bold
In the distance a palm tree stands
in this ancient desert land
where pyramids rise from arid sands
To inter pharoahs who were grand
Two stone faced pharoahs observe the scene
As 3 men strain to control the king of beasts
Their muscles taut, their senses keen
As they try to avoid becoming the lion's feast
A leopard skin lies near their feet
Perhaps a cat that was too weak
But now the lion they try to defeat
If they lose this battle, the result, bleak
The lion roars for freedom's hope
As the men hold tightly to the ropes
Trying to subdue this creature with ebony mane
But the beast within cannot be tamed
As the lion rises up like a roaring flame
Yearning for freedom once again
The 3 men, perhaps captives themselves
Into danger's realm have delved
But if this feline should break free
The captive will give chase, and the captives will flee

Dry Conditions Increase Wildfire Danger
NWS issues Red Flag Warning
Annapolis, Md. (February 18, 2011) The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag warning for all of Maryland except far western Allegany and Garrett Counties. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is encouraging Marylanders to check the DNR website regularly for forecast updates.
Were asking all Marylanders in these parts of the State to be cautious, said Monte Mitchell, State Fire Service Supervisor. During critical fire weather conditions such as this, people should not do any type of outdoor burning as it could quickly spread into a wildfire.
Red Flag Warnings are issued for a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and dry fuel conditions that will create the potential for explosive fire growth.
Critical fire weather conditions have spawned 21 wildfires in the past week that have burned 5,687 acres. It is critical that citizens take precautions to prevent any wildfire starts during these types of conditions stated Monte Mitchell, State Fire Supervisor. Debris or outdoor burning is the leading cause of wildfires in the state.
If you would like more information, please contact Monte Mitchell, State Fire Supervisor with the DNR Forest Service at 410-260-8503.

I bought it to start a protein diet and I use it to cook egg and egg white omlets with cheese, sausages and pancakes. It works well, especially for my breakfast, when I put the ingredients half way full and I do my morning routine. After 5-10 minutes when I come back, the breakfast is ready and there is minimal smell. It is easy to use and clean. But is a bit too small, you can only fit one egg at a time with some cheese or sausage. I like this machine.

Biglaw, Mergers and Acquisitions, Small Law Firms, Wall Street Journal
According to the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.), small law firms have adopted the mantra: merge or die. Indeed, the number of law firm mergers is staggering. "At least 60 mergers occurred in the U.S. and abroad last year, the highest level since 2008 and a 54% jump from 2010, according to legal-industry consulting firm Altman Weil Inc. Industry experts expect the figure to rise this year."
Why the up-tick in mergers? The economic downturn has caused a shift when it comes to legal service providers: it is a "seller's market for the first time in 20 years." In other words, law firms are not able to raise rates in order to increase profits. So, small firms turn to mergers as a way to increase their revenue and allow them to compete with all-purpose, larger firms. Randall H. Miller, who as managing partner at Denver-based Holme Roberts & Owen LLP helped engineer its acquisition by Bryan Cave, explained that "[l]ittle by little, our ability to service our clients' needs ha[d] been limited by our smaller size," which was why he pushed for the merger.
Yet, small firm to large firm mergers are not the answer for all small firms. The article featured several potential problems….
First, unsurprisingly, merging a formerly independent small firm into an established larger firm is expensive. Among other costs, the newly merged entity has to expend money to integrate the new employees, real estate, and computer systems. And in some instances, these high costs are not offset by the income coming in through the new clients and increased billable hours.
Second, those in power in the small firm want to maintain their level of power in the newly merged entity. Yet, often times, they are reduced to small fish swimming in a large pond. This leads to partners competing with others and arguing over compensation.
Lastly, as with any merger, due diligence is never perfect, and there are bound to be surprises about the formerly independent companies. The article cited an example of a merger wherein "'[t]o the surprise of the other party, the acquired party had a huge unfunded partner-retirement obligation that they had assumed would be picked up by the buyer,' [an Altman Weil consultant] says, estimating that the obligation was 5% to 10% percent of the acquired firm's annual revenue."
This is not to mention what would appear to be the biggest problem that may occur when a small firm merges into a bigger firm: the small firm is no longer a small firm. The reasons that lawyers become small-firm attorneys — easier ability to bring in clients, more substantive experience, opportunity to develop and sharpen their entrepreneurial spirit, etc. — are gone. These mergers negate the fact that many small-firm attorneys avoided Biglaw because they wanted a different type of practice.
I heard from one reader who had a similar experience following the merger of his small firm into a Biglaw firm. He wrote: "I was living the dream before. Now, it is like a suit that fits wrong. It bunches in some wrong places. I had the résumé for Biglaw, but did not want to do it."
Are there small-firm attorneys that lived through a merger who share these sentiments? Or do you think that the merger was a good decision? Why? I want to hear from you. I thought the answer to the question of whether all small firms truly want to become big firms was a resounding "no." Indeed, many of you told me that. Are we wrong?

This is Dickens's handwritten preface to the 'cheap edition' of Oliver Twist. In it he refutes claims made by critics that the kind of squalid conditions described in 'Jacob's Island' did not exist in reality. He appeals to his readers to recognise the fact that reforms were desperately needed to improve the living conditions of the poor. Cheap editions of Dickens's novels were produced to bring the works to a wider audience.

Beaches: Favorite surfing beaches
Justin Beard is a Treasure Coast native who has spent the past 25 years of his life either on or around the water. An environmentalist at heart, Justin grew up surfing shore break at South Beach Park in Vero Beach, but now resides in downtown Stuart with his wife, Kelly, and their rescued hound dogs, Remington and Jackson. An avid surfer, Justin knows the stretch of U.S. A.1.A. from Sebastian Inlet clear down to Jupiter Island like the back of his hand and carries his surfboard with him at all times.
Justin's Favorite Beaches
1. South Beach, Vero Beach Let me start by saying that South Beach is not the best beach for surfing on the Treasure Coast, but it's where I learned to surf so there will always be a special place in my heart for its close-out barrels. Best time to surf incoming tide.
2. Walton Rocks, Jensen Beach There's something mysterious about Walton Rocks. It's a fickle wave that doesn't like much wind, but if you catch it right then you'll know why it's my second favorite wave. Oh, it's also dog-friendly and a good place to find shells. Best time to surf high tide.
3. Fort Pierce Inlet State Park, Fort Pierce The North Jetty goes off. It also gets crowded. I prefer dawn patrol sessions when the gates are closed to the public, but not to surfers with an annual park pass. Small crowds, clean waves and a beautiful Florida sunrise Not much can top that. Best time to surf high tide.
4. Wabasso Beach Park, Vero Beach Do you enjoy getting barreled? Wabasso is known for its powerful shore break that dredges along the beach. It's also the easiest place to snap a surfboard in half on the Treasure Coast and even though I've broken more than one board there, I still keep coming back whenever I have the chance. Best time to surf high tide.

The product is fine, sturdy, well constructed. I'm not sure it will get much use though. I used a fine sharpie to mark the size needle it will contain, but I find most of my needles are in constant use. So I question the wisdom of the purchase, but for the cost, I don't object to having spent the money. I'm just not sure if I have much use for it.

Iran 'Captured Drone' Reports Disputed by Military
By Jack Phillips On February 24, 2013 @ 12:57 pm In Middle East | No Comments
Iran captured drone: There are conflicting reports over whether Iran captured a drone during a military operation. State-run media in Iran first said that a "foreign spy drone" was hacked into, but the powerful Revolutionary Guards later said otherwise.
There are conflicting reports over whether Iran captured a foreign spy drone during a military operation.
"A foreign spy drone" was hacked during the start of the Payambar-e Azam 8, or The Great Prophet 8, war games, General Hamid Sarkheili told the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency on Saturday. Sarkheili said the hacking was part of the regime's attempt to bolster the use of electronic warfare.
Sarkheili said, "For the first time, our special modern warfare task forces are conducting specialized operations," adding that the movements of foreign spy drones were observed and controlled during the war games.
Sarkheili did not elaborate on whether the drone was operated by the United States. "In the other phases of the war games, the reconnaissance as well as suicide drones, which are capable of attacking the enemies, have been used and their operational capabilities came under assessment," Sarkheili said.
During the war games, Iran "tested different asymmetric tactics and various types of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs), including its suicide drones, as well as its special modern warfare units on the first day of the massive war games underway in Iran's Southeastern province of Kerman," the Islamic Republic News Agency said.
Over the past several years, Iran has claimed it captured several drones operated by the U.S. In early December 2012, state-run media published photos of a ScanEagle drone that was captured "after violating the country's airspace," Press TV said. A year earlier, Iran said it took over a U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel after shooting it down over its airspace.
However, on Sunday, The Associated Press reported that the powerful Revolutionary Guards denied capturing a foreign drone during the military exercise. Yasin Hasanali, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard, said the drone captured over the weekend was being used during the military exercise as a supposed enemy aircraft, without elaborating.
A Pentagon spokesman told the Guardian newspaper that he saw reports of the captured enemy drone, but stressed that the Iranians did not say if the drone was American.
The drone-capturing incidents underscore the tension between the U.S. and Iran—part of a diplomatic row over the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear program.
In January, Iran also said that several American RQ11 Raven drones were taken down by Iranian forces in August 2011 and November 2012, the Guardian reported.

Louise Mensch's former business partner has accused technology journalist Milo Yiannopoulos of "manipulating information beyond recognition" after he disclosed lewd private messages.
In a blog post published on his personal website, Luke Bozier goes on a rant against Yiannopoulos (pictured above) – editor of the Kernel online magazine – accusing him of altering the timestamp on an explicit message allegedly sent by Bozier to a 19-yr-old woman, which was later published by Yiannopoulos.
Bozier went on to say that the alteration was "a firm basis for a defamation suit" which would "pay for my summer in Jamaica" before making a reference to London libel lawyers Carter Ruck.
The technology entrepreneur is due to answer police bail on 6th February after being arrested last year on suspicion of downloading and viewing child pornography. A hacker gained access to Bozier's email account and published what appeared to be details of his internet activities, including pictures of his genitals allegedly sent to women he attempted to meet on the internet, as well as login details for internet forums associated with "jailbait" pornography.
In an interview with the Guardian yesterday, Bozier said: "If you have a picture of a 17-year-old in a bikini you are in possession of child porn, which doesn't make sense given that our age of consent is 16 and also that the teenage form has been used so much to sell certain products over the years."
Despite Bozier's previous public life as an e-campaigns advisor to Tony Blair during his premiership and later as co-founder of the ill-fated Menshn social network, along with ex-Conservative MP Louise Mensch, he insists he is not deserving of scrutiny.
"Am I a public figure? No I am not," said Bozier, "and I am entitled to send sexually explicit messages to whomever I wish."
The target of Bozier's ire, Milo Yiannopoulos, has himself been under fire after his company Sentinel Media was ordered to pay out £16,000 in unpaid wages to a former contributor. It appears that Bozier and Yiannopoulos were friends prior to details of the scandal being revealed.
Commenting on his former friend's accusations, Yiannopoulos said:
Yeah, I've read Bozier's post. I understand why he might be angry. I was angry too when I discovered one of my friends was a pervert.

Thanks to WBC, fringe players get longer looks at major league camps this spring

Population trends of migratory landbirds along the Middle Rio Grande
Yong, Wang; Finch, Deborah M. 1997. Population trends of migratory landbirds along the Middle Rio Grande. The Southwestern Naturalist. 42(2): 137-147.
Using standardized mist-netting capture data from the Rio Grande Nature Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico from 1985-1994, and Breeding Bird Survey data from New Mexico and United States from 1980-1994, we compared local, regional, and national population trends of landbird species that migrate along the middle Rio Grande in fall. Evaluations of relationships among population trends, migratory distance, breeding habitat use, nest type, and foraging guilds revealed that population trends of Rio Grande migrants were relatively species-specific and that population changes were unequally distributed among habitats and life history groups. The fall banding data suggested that long-distance migrants, riparian forest migrants, canopy insectivores, and open-cup nesting species declined more over the 10-year period than other groups. Similarities between population trends from banding data and trends from Breeding Bird Survey increased as we expanded the geographic coverage of the Breeding Bird Survey data from New Mexico to the entire United States. We hypothesize that riparian habitat along the middle Rio Grande functions as a funnel that constricts habitat use during migration for species whose breeding and wintering populations are spread over broader geographic areas and that local population changes detected during mass migration may thus reflect widespread and large-scale changes.

The 27-year-old moved to the Stadio Olimpico from Udine in January and scored three goals in 16 league appearances to help Torino secure their top-flight status.
A statement published on torinofc.it read: "Torino have reached an agreement with Udinese to renew the agreement concerning striker Vitor Barreto, who will once again wear the Granata shirt for the 2013-14 season."
The Rio de Janeiro-born forward originally signed for Udinese in 2005 but enjoyed his best spell in Italy during three years with Bari, for whom he scored 41 league goals before returning north in 2011.

SPRAY NozzLE# Filed July 18, 1947 NVENTO I R gfwdwmw@ gjm. www@ Patented Oct. 17, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SPRAY NozzLE Application July 18, 1947, Serialy No. 761,801
This invention relates to nozzles for producing conical liquid sprays.
It is the general object of the invention to provide a nozzle which will produce a conical spray which is widely and uniformly diffused, instead of being closely concentrated in a limited cross section.
To the accomplishment of this general object,
a spray nozzle is provided which in the preferred form provides concentric annular hollow streams of liquid which are rotated in opposite directions a's they emerge from the nozzle.
yThe invention further relates to arrangements and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Preferred forms of the invention are shown in the drawings, in which h Fig. 1 is a sectional side elevation of a preferred nozzle construction;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an annular partition and associated vanes shown in Fig. 1; and
Figs. 3 to` 8 inclusive are sectional side elevations showing modiiied constructions.
Referring to Fig. 1,' a spray nozzle is shown comprising an outer casing I having its end portion Illa contracted to provide a nozzle opening I I. A tube I2 is mounted within the casing I and in spaced relation thereto, and the open end I4 of the tube preferably terminates slightly inward of the nozzle opening II.
An annular partition I3 is mounted between the casing I0 and the tube I2 and is curved to approximately correspond to the curvature of the casing ,part Ia. Outer vanes I3 are mounted between the casing IIJ and the partition I6, and
inner vanes I9 are mounted between the partition I6 and the tube I2. The vanes I8 andIS are welded or brazed or otherwise secured to the parts I0, I2 and I6 and serve to hold these parts in xed spaced relation.
The vanes I8 and I9 are approximately axially disposed at their entering or left-hand portions as viewed in Fig. 1, but are reversely curved at their delivery portions. Inner and outer hollow liquid streams will thus be delivered through the nozzle opening II, these inner and outer streams will be rapidly rotated but in opposite directions. This results in effective intermingling of the two streams into a single conical spray of very uniform density and large cross section.
In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the partition 23 is similarly provided with outer vanes 2| and inner vanes 22, but the outer vanes are of substantially greater width than the inner vanes,
2 Claims. (Cl. 299-121) so that the partition is relatively nearer to the tube 23. A larger proportion of the liquid is thus delivered through the outer vanes, and the resultant spray will be correspondingly more dense in its outer portion.
In Fig. 4, a plurality of vanes are provided outside of a partition 3| `and the inner set of vanes is omitted. The inner tube 33 may be positioned by radial supports 34. This construction provides a non-rotating hollow stream within a rotating hollow stream, so that the resultant spray is more dense in its inner portion.
In Fig. 5, the outer set of vanes is connected to an outer partition member or sleeve 4 I, and the inner set of vanes 42 is connected to an inner partition or sleeve 43. The partitions 4I and 43 are spaced apart toprovide an annular cylindrical passage 46 through which a non-rotating stream of liquid may be projected between oppositely rotating outer and inner hollow streams. The inner tube 41 may be positioned by radial supports 48. This type of nozzle is found to produce a spray of very uniform density.
In the construction shown in Fig. 6, outer vanes 50 are mounted within the casing 5I and inner vanes 52 are mounted on the tube 53, while the annular partition member'is entirely omitted. The inner tube 53 is positioned by radial supports 56. This construction gives good results and is somewhat simpler than the construction shown in Fig. 1.
In Fig. 7 the construction is still further simpliiied by providing aneannular set of relatively short vanes 6I! mounted 'within the outer casing 6IV and substantially spaced from the inner tube 62, which innertube has'radial supports 63.
In the construction shown in Fig. 8, three concentricv partitions 10, 1I and 'I2 are mounted between the casing`14 andthe inner tube 15. Four sets of vanes 16, 11, 1B and 19 are provided in the annular passages between the outer casing, the inner tube'and the three concenrtic partitions, as clearly shown in Fig. 8. Furthermore, the delivery ends of the outer and inner partitions 10 and 12 are extended beyond the 4delivery opening of the nozzle and are outwardly and inwardly anged as shown, so that portions of the liquid stream are directed outwardly through the opening and inwardly through the opening 8|. Preferably, adjacent sets of the vanes 16 to 19 are oppositely curved.
By varying the spacing of the several partitions, the density of the resultant spray may be effectively controlled.
Having described a preferred form of the invention' and several modications thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the details herein disclosed, otherwise than as set forth in the claims,v but what is claimed is:
1. A spray nozzle comprising an open inner tube Iand a concentric encircling outer tube defining an annular liquid passage having an outlet end part, an annular partition mounted adjacent said outlet end part of said passage and extending lengthwise of said end part only and dividing said outlet end part of said annular passage into separated inner and outer passage portions, and a plurality of angularly disposed varies mounted in said inner passage portion and in said outer passage portion of said annular passage respectively and inside and outside of said annular partition, and the vanes in said inner and outer passage portions being oppositely inclined.
2. A spray nozzle comprising an open inner tube and a concentric encircling outer tube dening an annular liquid passage having an outlet end part, an annular partition mounted adjacent said outlet end part of said passage and extending lengthwise of said end part only and dividing said outlet end part of said annular passage into separated inner and outer passage 4 portions, and a plurality of angularly disposed vanes mounted in said inner passage portion and in said outer passage portion of said annular passage respectively and inside and outside of said annular partition, and the vanes in said inner and outer passage portions being oppositely inclined, and said annular partition being positioned substantially nearer said inner tube than said outer tube and thereby relatively increasing the capacity of said outer passage portion.

Man's Silverado Is Booted, Which Impedes His Driving Only Slightly
Categories: Criminally Stupid
|The Denver Boot in action, which puts the car out of action. Most times.
They began a search of the area where they'd last seen the Silverado and eventually located it parked in the 3800 block of Shenandoah Avenue. The two pulled up behind the Silverado and parked. It was roughly 10:45 p.m.
At that point a suspect described by police as being a black man age 30 to 35, about 5'8'' or 5'9'' and with a heavy build, exited a building.
The suspect then hopped in his Silverado, reversed into the two men's vehicle and drove forward into a wooden fence. He was last spotted heading eastbound, and presumably, down. No serious injuries were reported for either man in the vehicle that was struck. Police continue to search for the suspect while they investigate the case.
