» Seaspan's CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I will now turn the call over to Sai Chu.
Sai W. Chu
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Before we begin, please allow me to remind you that our discussion today contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from results projected by those forward-looking statements.
Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from those in the forward-looking statements is contained in the first quarter 2013 earnings release and earnings webcast presentation slides available on our website at www.seaspancorp.com as well as in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC.
I would also like to remind you that during this call, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted EBITDA, cash available for distribution to common shareholders, normalized net earnings and normalized converted earnings per share. Regards to such financial measures and for reconciliation of such measures to the most widely comparable U.S. GAAP measures, please refer to our earnings release.
I will now pass the call over to Gerry, who will discuss our first quarter highlights as well as some more recent developments.
Gerry Wang
Thank you, Sai. Please turn to slide three of the webcast presentation. For the first quarter, we continue to execute our strategy and deliver solid results. Our revenue and cash flows from operations continue to grow. We've further differentiated the company by successfully accessing attractive pricing to support our growth strategy. We announced our fourth dividend increase since March 2010. We continue to grow our fleet and diversify our customer base. And finally, we maintain a strong balance sheet and flexible capital structure, which position Seaspan to capitalize on future growth opportunities.
I will now review our results for the first quarter in more details. First, revenue and adjusted EBITDA grew by 7.5% and 4.7% respectively for the quarter compared to the same period in 2012. Seaspan 69 vessel operating fleet continued to perform well operationally during the quarter. Seasonality contributed to off-hire for four 4250 TEU vessels on short-term time charters, which affected our financial results and broaden our utilization for the quarter to 96.1%. As we speak, all of these vessels are now employed on time charters.
Second, based on Seaspan's financial strength, strong contracted revenue stream and our confidence in the future, our Board approved a 25% increase in our quarterly common share dividend to $0.3125 per share for the first quarter of 2013 representing an expected annual dividend of a $1.25 per share for the four quarters ending December 31, 2013. We'll remain committed to growing our common share dividends in a sustainable manner, but manages to our financial strength and our ability to expand our fleet.
Third, in January, we announced two transactions with Yang Ming Lines and MOL. We believe that the two deals, which will enable Seaspan to grow its fleet, managed fleet to 89 vessels, validate the benefits of our innovative SAVER design and the need for state-of-the-art efficient vessels. The deals demonstrated the importance of Seaspan's operational and technical strength as the key effective factors in the competitive process we need new business with major line operators who have high demand for operational performance excellence.
In January, we signed newbuilding contract with Hyundai Heavy Industries for the construction of five 14,000 TEU class containerships for 2015 delivery. At the same time, we entered into long-term fixed-rate time charters with Yang Ming Lines of Taiwan at market rates. Subsequently, we signed newbuilding contracts with (inaudible) for the construction of four 10,000 TEU class containerships for 2014 delivery and entered into long-term fixed-rate charters with MOL at market rates.
As I mentioned on the fourth quarter call, those two vessel classes will present the flagship class for Yang Ming and the second largest ship class for MOL. In connection with this newbuilding order for the MOL transaction, we also agreed to purchase four 2003-built 4,600 TEU containerships and the two-year fixed-rate time charters with MOL plus MOL option for one more substantially above market charter rates. This year. And our right of first refusal agreement with GCI, Seaspan will retain the ownership of three of the five 14,000 TEU vessels, two of the four 10,000 TEU vessels; and two of the four 4600 TEU 2003-built ships. GCI will acquire the remaining ships, which will be included in Seaspan's managed fleet.
We recently completed the financing for two of our Yang Ming 14,000 TEU new building vessels with an Asian bank and have progressed the documentation for financing of the first 14,000 TEU vessels with a European bank.
In addition, we have received various financing proposals for the remaining vessels, and we expect to close them within the next three months or so. Worth mentioning here, this financing transaction demonstrates our ability to access financing at attractive returns in the market that remains challenging to many of our competitors.

Nah, look at the size of the shutter compared to the camera front, and the levers that only the early babys have. The aperture/speed window bump above the viewing lens, and the linkage with "cog wheel teeth" on the shutter rim (and those behind for the aperture). And, of course, the camera body resembles the Rolleiflex Standard, but they have the shutter built in.

I have to lower my 5-star rating down to 1-star until some "functionality" is removed, or at least until it can be turned off in admin. With Jetpack installed, a subscriber to your blog has Jetpack shown in their Dashboard. Now, I have no idea of any security implications of this, but I personally feel that it is no one's business but my own - and those I choose to tell - which plugins I do or do not have installed.
Rest assured, registered subscribers won't be able to make any changes to your Jetpack settings.
They will, however, be able to connect their account on your site with their WordPress.com account. This will allow them to use the Toolbar Notifications, as described here:
If you do not want your site subscribers to be able to use Toolbar Notifications on your site, you can hide the Jetpack menu by following the instructions here:
Thank you, Jeremy. Your help is most appreciated.
Some of the exciting features that I am currently using in Jetpack are my posts are automatically sharing on several social media networks.

Charters of Connecticut and Rhode Island obtained at a favorable moment--Measures taken to resume the Charters--Difference between the crown and the colonists on this subject--Declaration of Massachusetts concerning charter rights in 1661-- Royal commissioners sent to regulate the New England colonies--Their reception--Massachusetts refuse to submit to their authority and send a petition to the king--Complaints against Massachusetts--Committee of trade require an answer to these complaints--Answer not satisfactory--Massachusetts refuse to submit to the wishes of the king--Writs of quo warranto issue against the charter of that colony--Judgment against it--Writs issue against those of Connecticut and Rhode Island--Their letters considered a surrender of them--Sir Edmund Andrus appointed governor general of New England--His despotic acts--Revolution in New England--Connecticut and Rhode Island resume their Charters--New Charter granted Massachusetts--Great Britain jealous of the independence of the colonies-- brought into parliament to resume the Charter governments--Defeated--King appeals from the colonial courts in civil suits--Explanatory Charter of Massachusetts--Law of descents in Connecticut declared void--Massachusetts refuse to provide a permanent salary for the governor--Present an address to the king on the subject--Heard before the board of trade--Conduct of that colony condemned-- Jealousy of its growing power increases.
CONTROVERSIES soon arose between the parent country and the colonists, under the charter governments. These disputes, as we have before stated, commenced in Massachusetts, as early as 1635, nor did they end, till the American revolution.
The charters of Connecticut and Rhode Island, were obtained at a favorable moment. Just called to the government of his kingdom, Charles was not disposed to deny favors to any of his subjects. In addition to this, Lords Say and Seal, and the Earl of Manchester, both the friends of New England, were then in favor with the king.
Mr. Winthrop, the agent of Connecticut, a gentleman of talents and address, was in possession of a ring given to his grandfather, by the father of Charles II, which he presented to that monarch. This secured him a most gracious reception at court.*____________________

Rielle Hunter Says Edwards Had Multiple Mistresses
In an explosive new tell-all, Rielle Hunter recounts intimate details of her relationship with John Edwards, including the revelation that the former presidential hopeful had a "hidden life" and had carried on affairs with several women through the years despite his 32-year marriage to Elizabeth.
Hunter's new memoir What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter and Me is excerpted exclusively in the upcoming issue of People magazine that will be available on newsstands this Friday. Hunter opens up in the book about Elizabeth's wrath after she discovered her husband's affair and reveals what kind of father Edwards has been to their four-year-old daughter Quinn.
"He told me that he had an entire hidden life that had gone on for decades and that he was currently involved with three different women," Hunter writes. "One lived in Los Angeles, one in Florida and one in Chicago. Clearly this behavior of his was not going to change overnight."
RELATED: Rielle Delivers Her Side of John Edwards Scandal
Hunter said when her affair with Edwards began the two were like "a pair of teenagers" who were "completely attached." She says she never viewed Elizabeth as an "innocent victim" and describes how Edwards' wife grew increasingly suspicious as Hunter followed the candidate on the campaign trail.
Referring to Edwards as "Johnny," she writes: "I really don't believe his lying about women was malicious. He used it as a defense to keep real feelings at bay."
Hunter -- who now lives about two hours away from Edwards in North Carolina as both co-parent their daughter Quinn.-- says their relationship has changed over the years. "It's better and more complicated at the same time. I have a deeper understanding of him as a dad and as person who puts his children first. And I believe he has more respect and deeper appreciation of me now."

PatientsLikeMe and Sage Bionetworks Launch Open Science Study for People with Parkinson's Disease
In collaboration with TED Fellow Dr. Max Little, the Patient Voice Analysis (PVA) project will for the first time combine data from two sources: phone-based voice recordings that Dr. Little's software collects and analyzes to detect markers of PD; and information reported by patients using PatientsLikeMe's Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (PDRS), a tool that documents patients' answers to questions that measure treatment effectiveness and disease progression.
Both sets of data will be analyzed by the PVA team composed of Dr. Little and scientists from PatientsLikeMe and Sage Bionetworks. In later phases of the project, the de-identified data sets will be available to the broader research community on Sage Bionetworks' cloud-based computational research platform (www.synapse.org). By crowdsourcing the analysis, the PVA team hopes to identify relationships between voice markers (like tremors in speech) and clinical signs of Parkinson's disease (such as tremors in the body) so that it becomes possible to monitor patients' progression with a short phone call. Current monitoring efforts for PD typically require patients to undergo multiple lab visits that cost both time and money.
"We want to democratize the process of monitoring disease progression and return the results to patients as quickly as possible, so they are empowered to make the best decisions," said PatientsLikeMe Vice President of Innovation Paul Wicks, Ph.D.. "We invite anyone who has PD to take part and join PatientsLikeMe, so they can stay informed about their condition and generate new insights about this disease," said Wicks.
Dr. Stephen Friend, President and Founder of Sage Bionetworks, echoed Wicks's enthusiasm for the collaboration. "We are so excited by this opportunity to work together with Dr. Little and PatientsLikeMe. If successful, I fully expect that Dr. Little's voice software will be what PD patients and their families the world over use to monitor themselves in real-time, and thereby gain insights on how to better manage their own health."

Fluoride Level Update
Fort Collins Utilities has confirmed that the Department of Health and Human Services and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) are lowering the recommended amount of fluoride added to drinking water for the first time in more than 50 years (CDPHE press release). Since 1962, the government has been advising water systems to add fluoride to a level of 0.7 parts per million (ppm) for warmer climates, and up to 1.2 parts per million in cooler areas. The new standard is 0.7 ppm everywhere.
Currently, the City of Fort Collins drinking water fluoride levels are in the range of 0.9-1.05 ppm, with the fluoride system monitored continuously. In addition, the ISO140001 certified Water Treatment Facility follows stringent safety procedures when working in and around the fluoride as part of its Environmental Management System. Fort Collins Utilities has been managing fluoridation of our water supply since the 1950s. A re-authorization of fluoridation was performed by public vote in 2005.
Per City Code Sec. 26-50. Fluoridation, the City Council is authorized to fluoridate the water supply system of the City. The utility is directed to fluoridate its water to the levels established by the State Department of Public Health and Environment, now established at 0.7 ppm.
Fort Collins Utilities' next step is to develop an operational plan to lower the fluoride level. An estimated timeline for making the adjustment is mid-May 2015.

'Iron Man 3′ Flies High in First Reviews
Is 'Iron Man 3' sitting pretty already? (Photo: Marvel Studios)
The reviews are starting to zoom in, and it looks like "Iron Man 3" is going to be a hit -- with critics, at least. And they all seem to be noting one thing: The film is funny, in spite of all that dark seriousness that's been in the film's trailers.
Of course, barring disaster, everyone knows that Robert Downey Jr.'s latest turn as Tony Stark will dominate the box office when it opens in the U.S. on May 3. But the picture debuts today in several European and Asian markets, opens in the UK tomorrow, and has been screened for the international entertainment press.
As the first reviews hit the streets the word is good – critics are praising the film as exciting, clever and funny, and calling it an improvement over "Iron Man 2."
[TONIGHT: Watch the live 'Iron Man 3' premiere starting at 8:30 ET/5:30 PT]
Watch Yahoo! Movies' Exclusive 'Iron Man 3' TV Spot:
"Iron Man returns refreshed and ready for action in this spirited third installment of the thus-far $1.2 billion-grossing Marvel franchise," Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter declared. "In a way a double-sequel, both to 'Iron Man 2' and to last year's mega-hit 'The Avengers,' 'Iron Man 3' benefits immeasurably from the irreverent quicksilver humor of co-writer and director Shane Black, whose obvious rapport with Robert Downey Jr. in his only other directorial outing, 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,' is further manifest here," McCarthy wrote.
The THR critic also had high praise for leading man Downey ("The star executes almost continual verbal pirouettes, barking out sardonic quips and rejoinders even in moments of greatest distress but, due to his exceptional lingual dexterity, it rarely gets old and never seems condescending to the admittedly cartoonish context") and the film's two villains, Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian ("Pearce brings an arresting presence to his role as an egghead villain") and Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin ("a fabulously accoutered and adorned Kingsley has a field day as the elusive Mandarin").
Peter Bradshaw, critic for the British news site The Guardian, also gave IM3 high marks, giving it four out of five stars. Bradshaw praised the cast, called the film "luxury superhero entertainment," and described director Black as "the Aaron Sorkin of action comedy." "'Iron Man 3' is smart, funny and spectacular," Bradshaw wrote. "Stark now probably succeeds Chaplin as Downey's key creation as an actor, loosing off funny lines with virtuoso skill, throwing away gags and delaying punchlines: Alec Baldwin does something similar, but in a more reflective style. This may not be to everyone's taste and some odd repeated jokes about Christmas indicate that a different release date may have been planned. But it is quality Friday night entertainment: the innocent pleasure of the week."

Do I need a letter of recommendation?
No, the University Honors College does not accept letters of recommendation as part of the admissions process.
Do I have to be a first-year student to apply to the UHC?
No. The Honors Associate track is specifically designed for students who transfer in to the UHC with at least two years left in their undergraduate studies. However, each student enters the UHC with a unique timeline to complete all requirements. You can contact us if you have specific questions on completing the UHC curriculum as a transfer student.
Am I a first-year applicant, transfer applicant, or current OSU applicant?
First-year applicants are generally seniors in high school and come directly from high school to college. Although they may have college credit, they have not attended college after graduating from high school.
Transfer applicants have attended college after graduating from high school.
Current OSU student applicants are currently enrolled at OSU, even if this is their first term.
Do I have to be admitted to OSU before applying to the UHC?
You need to be admitted to OSU or be in the process of applying.
When can I apply?
First-year applicants can apply September 1 through February 1. There are two application deadlines for first-year applicants: November 1 (early round) and February 1 (primary round). Transfer and current OSU applicants can apply January 1 through March 15. There is only one deadline (March 15) for transfer and current OSU students.
What are the deadlines for applying? When will I find out if I have been accepted?
First-year applicants - For the early round, applications must be submitted online by midnight on November 1. The UHC mails early round decision letters by December 31.
For the primary round, applications must be submitted online by midnight on February 1. The UHC mails primary round decision letters by March 31.
Transfer and Current OSU applicants - applications must be submitted by midnight on March 15. The UHC e-mails transfer and current round decision notifications by April 30.
Will you accept my application if it is turned in late?
No, the UHC strictly adheres to its deadlines.
How do I know if you got my application?
Applicants will receive an e-mail confirmation shortly after the application is submitted. Make sure you have entered the correct e-mail address on your application; if your confirmation e-mail does not arrive, check your SPAM filter. Applicants may also contact us to verify receipt of the application. It is your responsibility to ensure that your application is properly submitted.
What are the criteria to apply to the UHC?
First-Year students (entering from high school) minimum criteria:
Transfer/Current OSU student minimum criteria:
If I meet the minimum criteria, does that mean I am automatically accepted to the UHC?
No. Meeting the minimum criteria means that your application will be reviewed but does not guarantee admission.
If admitted, is my decision binding?
If you are accepted to the UHC, you will be asked to notify the UHC of your decision within two weeks. At that time you can choose to accept, decline, or postpone your decision. If you postpone your decision, you will have until May 1 to inform the UHC of your final decision.
What if I don't meet the minimum criteria to apply?
The UHC will not review submissions from applicants who do not meet the minimum criteria.
If I'm not admitted in the early round, can I apply again for the primary round?
Yes, but we encourage this only for applicants who have new information to present (e.g., updated GPA, test scores or essay). Applicants who submit the same application will likely receive the same decision.
If I am not admitted to the UHC from high school, can I reapply after a year or two at OSU?
Yes, you may apply as often as you wish, provided you have approximately two years left of your undergraduate studies.
I am an online student taking courses through OSU's E-campus. Is it possible for me to be in the UHC?
Unfortunately, the UHC is not available to students in distance education.
Who teaches UHC classes?
UHC classes are taught by OSU faculty, not Teaching Assistants.
Does the UHC cost more than OSU tuition?
Yes, University Honors College students are assessed "Honors College Differential Tuition" each term. UHC Differential Tuition enables the University Honors College to provide small seminar-style classes, academic advising, co-curricular activities and other amenities. UHC Differential Tuition is currently $341 per term and will appear on each student's billing account for each fall, winter, and spring term that the student is enrolled at Oregon State. The UHC recognizes that the UHC Differential Tuition associated with enrollment in the Honors College can present a financial challenge for some students. Honors students who are unable to pay the differential tuition in a specific term can apply for a UHC Differential Tuition Grant.
Does the UHC offer any scholarships?
Yes! There are a limited number of scholarships available to entering UHC students, and some exciting and attractive scholarship, fellowship, internship, and degree program opportunities available to enrolled UHC students.

Freeport Borough deals with sewage backup problem
Freeport Borough officials are hoping to solve a sewage backup problem before homes are affected.
The Riverside Drive pump station has backed up three times in the last month because of equipment failures.
The 30-year-old pump station needs new control equipment, though the pumps remain in good shape, according to officials.
It's becoming more difficult for the borough to get parts, prompting the borough to consider a $12,300 equipment overhaul.
HCS Co. of Portersville offered Freeport that price for equipment.
Officials, however, will seek another bid for a comparison before making a decision.The money will come from the sewage account or capital reserve fund.
The borough's other pump station, a new, $248,000 one installed as part of the Freeport Bridge project, will cost the borough $124,000.
Council is hoping to convert a federal grant of $103,000 earmarked for engineering of the pump station, to the borough's actual share of the pump station cost.
PennDOT paid the other $124,000 for the new pump station.
In other business
• The borough's clean-up day will be on Wednesday.
Council, however, reminded residents that Armstrong County will have a day set aside for hard-to-recycle items on May 17 at the Armstrong Recycling Center, 139 Armsdale Road, Kittanning.
Items accepted that day will include televisions, computers and monitors, cellphones, used tires, newspaper and cardboard.
For more information, Armstrong residents should log on to www.co.armstrong.pa.us or call 724-548-3223.

"Frictions in Financial and Labor Markets": A Summary of the 35th Annual Economic Policy Conference
Manuelli, Rodolfo, Peralta-Alva, Adrian, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review
This article contains synopses of the papers presented at the 35th Annual Economic Policy Conference of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis held October 21-22, 2010. The conference theme was "Frictions in Financial and Labor Markets." Leading participants in this field presented their research and commentary.
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review, July/August 2011, 93(4), pp. 273-92.
The Thirty-Fifth Annual Economic Policy Conference of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis was held October 21-22, 2010. The papers presented at the conference covered a variety of approaches and topics within the general theme of frictions in financial and labor markets. One group of papers directly addresses the question of the impact of frictions in financial markets--defined as a departure from the complete market, perfectly competitive Arrow-Debreu equilibrium--on economic performance. In "Quantifying the Impact of Financial Development on Economic Development," Greenwood, Sanchez, and Wang study the impact of increases in the relative (to the rest of the economy) efficiency of financial intermediaries in output and total factor productivity (TFP). For a calibrated version of their model they conclude that financial frictions can account for large changes in output and measured TFP. A somewhat different conclusion is reached by Midrigan and Xu in "Finance and Misallocation: Evidence from Plant-Level Data." In that paper, the authors study a different financial friction--a borrowing limit--and find that when the model must match the observed distribution of the growth rate of the output of individual firms, the contribution of market imperfections to TFP is rather small.
In "Middlemen in Limit-Order Markets," Jovanovic and Menkveld analyze the role of middlemen in asset markets who are assumed to have superior information and, hence, potentially improve the allocation of resources as they can "direct" each asset to its best use. They find that, depending on the distribution of information of potential asset traders, the presence of middlemen can either increase or decrease efficiency. They also confront the model with data that are consistent with the introduction of middlemen but their results are ambiguous. The last paper that most directly discusses the role of financial frictions is "Financial Markets and Unemployment," by Monacelli, Quadrini, and Trigari. They study a situation in which firms and workers bargain for wages but the total surplus--the object to be divided--decreases in relation to the amount of debt carried by the firm. They show that, in response to a positive productivity shock, firms will choose to borrow more since this lowers their current surplus and thus the wage demands of their workers.
A second set of papers looks at the role of search frictions in labor and goods markets. In "Joint-Search Theory: New Opportunities and New Frictions," Guler, Guvenen, and Violante consider the employment-search problem of a couple. They show that, in the absence of a market that permits perfect risk-sharing, location decisions and employment decisions are related and, due to the costs of separation from one's partner, some workers would reject job offers that appear to be above their reservation wage. A similar idea--searching for a price in this case--drives the price dispersion results in "Equilibrium Price Dispersion and Rigidity: A New Monetarist Approach," by Head, Liu, Menzio, and Wright. They show that when individuals differ in their ability to search for the lowest price, (i) the optimal pricing policy of a firm involves periods of price stickiness (when average prices are changing) and (ii) price dispersion may occur in equilibrium even when there is no inflation.
Finally, two papers deal with the effect of frictions on income distribution. In "Intergenerational Redistribution in the Great Recession," Glover, Heathcote, Krueger, and Rios-Rull study how a recession--not unlike the recent one in the United States--influences the welfare of different generations. …

The Magazine
Showered with Praise
The media's love affair with the idea of Barack Obama.
Mar 23, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 26 • By NOEMIE EMERY
He is, in effect, themselves only better, which explains his attraction for New York Times bloggers, and for their soulmates at Newsweek and Time. "These are people for whom the Obamas are not just a beacon . . . but . . . a kind of mirror," as Warner writes. "This is the first president I've known who looks, talks, and acts like a peer," as one man told her. "I feel like I understand what he's like and where's he coming from. . . . If you stopped the clock in 2004 . . . he'd feel roughly like a peer in terms of accomplishments. . . . Despite his incredible achievements, he still seems like a lot of people I know."
Believing the right is made up of dorks and bigots, liberals find the idea of Obama a tonic and twofer, allowing them to think well of themselves on two different levels--as the wonderful people who backed and elected our first nonwhite president; and as the wonderful people who set style everywhere, the ultimate last word in cool. Either would do, but the two put together--the messiah and model in one lissome package--was enough to make them go bonkers, and bonkers they went. "As a nation, we're shedding our childlike, rural innocence and becoming more mature, urban, urbane . . . dare I say it, sophisticated?" Joe Klein enthused, and went on to declare the Obama administration an astonishing triumph before it had started, and well in advance of the fact. So did Jonathan Alter, in spite of the fact that the stock market had only gone down with Obama's accession. "Chin up, everyone. This president is well poised to bring us back from the brink," he declared, just before Obama embarked on his first speech before Congress. How did Alter know this? Well, he just knew. Obama was so "naturally confident," so bold, and yet humble, so brainy (in the same way as Alter), so much the "smart, cool instructor, trusted by the class to explain." So Obama explained things. And then the Dow declined even more.
The high point of Obama as an idea may have come between his election and his inauguration, when imagination roamed free and his potential was limitless, while the reckoning came when he had to stop talking, and act. "There isn't much further he can go as a speechmaker," said the TV critic Tom Shales, no friend to Obama's enemies. " 'It is time for America to lead again,' he said, but hasn't he said that before? How many times can he say 'it's time' before it really is time? The honeymoon might go on, but if it turns out to be a case of too much talk and too little action, the great communal cry of national disappointment will be crushing, and cruel." Wall Street was proving immune to the cult of Obama. There was a whole lot of action, but most of it seemed to be down. "It's heading toward 6,000," said MSNBC's Chris Matthews of the Dow, his leg tingle quite vanished. "People are really getting angry. I'm getting angry. . . . They are really angry and they're going to get mad at him if we don't get this market turned around." By March 3, Christopher Buckley and David Brooks, the leading Obamacons of 2008, were both peeling off, holding their heads, and moaning of deficits. Even Maureen Dowd did a 180, referring to her man's "disturbing spells of passivity." The intoxication was wearing off fast.
"Barack Obama had a gift and he knew it," ran the start of a long Newsweek piece about the election. "He had a way of making very smart, very accomplished people feel virtuous" simply by helping him out. "Obama's gift correlates with the inner needs of his audience," noted the blogger Scott Johnson. And so it did. That audience voted for him because he made them feel better, because he made them feel brave, noble, and tolerant; because he made them feel better than Bush and some others; because he made them feel part of a select clique of people, because he made them feel clever, and cool. They know they and Obama are smarter than Bush is because . . . well, they know it. In 2004, Howell Raines was sure that John Kerry was smarter than Bush was, and the records proved otherwise. What if facts prove otherwise now?
For the past six years, if not more, the implication of everything written in the Times, Time, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, and the New Yorker was that if only they had one of their own in the White House, he could really ace this whole president business, which only seemed hard because Bush was so clueless, so Texan, so lacking in intellect (at least as defined by their editors' standards). But Obama's first weeks have not been promising. The Daily Telegraph (U.K.) writes that Obama is "overwhelmed" by his office, and "surprise[d] at the sheer volume of business that crosses his desk." This has not gone unnoticed. "In ways both large and small, what's left of the American establishment is taking his measure and, with surprising swiftness, they are finding him lacking," as Howard Fineman reports. What if he turns out to be no more able than Bush was to figure out how to calm down the markets, how to close Gitmo without causing more problems, what to do about Russia and Pakistan, and how to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon without risk of starting a war? How sophisticated will Klein feel if the Dow hits 5000? Where will Warner and pen pals go with their fantasies? The shower they wanted to take with Obama may be a cold dousing quite soon.

After collapsing on stage during his concert at London's O2 Arena on Thursday night, Justin Bieber is expected to suit up for his fourth and final show at the venue on Friday (March 8).
An early morning tweet from the O2 read, "As things stand Justin Bieber is still set to perform the final night of his shows at the O2 this evening."
Bieber left the stage near the end of his show on Thursday night for about 20 minutes to receive oxygen after collapsing during "Beauty and a Beat." He was treated backstage by an EMT, recovered enough to finish his final four songs and then went to a local hospital for further observation.
Bieber slams "rumors, rumors and more rumors" about his crazy week in London.
He later tweeted that he was "getting better" and "figuring out what happened, thanking his fans for helping him pull through the episode. He posted a shirtless Instagram pic overnight in which he's seen laying in a hospital bed with headphones on with the message, "gettin' better listening to Janice Joplin."
The health scare capped what's been a challenging 19th-birthday week for Bieber. First, he left a London nightclub in a huff after allegations from "dummies" that he tried to sneak an underage Jaden Smith in, then he got booed by fans for showing up nearly an hour late for his Monday night gig at the O2.
Share your well-wishes for Justin in the comments section below.

lol i wasn't even born when it was made! anyway, i'm busy with exams right know, so i haven't got the time to look it, but i think it's isn't hard for someone to just search for a ppc linux application and then compile it, and see if it works (he/she might also need to find additional packages to compile). Sure rpms are better

ive tested it on yellow dog it works at full speed, although i think we should work on more up to date games.
Maybe we should compile a list of games that work well? Using different methods and a tutorial? I'm wondering if HOMM will work..

Re: Now THIS is a home theater I could get into!
Privately and professionally I'm currently preoccupied with the new Dolby Atmos surround sound system, learning with which speaker placement it will probably work best and evaluating the AV-hardware that's now becoming available. Suffice to say, it's a rather complex matter, especially if you aim for "7.1.4".
Using the occasion I also got myself involved with the improvement of room acoustics (something usually underestimated, apparently / especially in these TNG themed home theatres, way too much reflective surfaces as far as I can tell) but in regard to the acoustic foam sheet candidates, I think it's fair to say that for a devoted TNG fan like myself there can only be one product, because it has been used as a set decoration on TNG, especially in the transporter room (I think there have been other occasions, but except for "The Neutral Zone" I can't recall them this moment):
Originally, I had no idea what kind of product the TNG set designers used, but finally found it just two days ago: SONEX
The salesperson at Sonex, apparently a TNG fan, too, told me that the transporter room walls were covered with SONEXOne.
In the above screencap with O'Brien we see the "male" sheets on the left side, while the right side and the transporter chamber are padded with "female" sheets. If I understood correctly and after watching a YouTube video, the sheets come in one double piece that instantly separates into a "male" and "female" one.
And these squares in Ten Forward are SONEX "Spectrum" contour tiles.
To cut a long story short: Looking again at these expensive TNG themed home theatres I have to suspect that the builders had little or no idea how to improve room acoustics (I wonder whether these home theatres actually sound good, regardless of the AV hardware price tags) and apparently no idea either that a product exists, that would give any ambitioned Star Trek home theatre user an "authentic" 23rd century feel.
In case you want to recreate a TNG themed home theater in your own living room or mancave, I think this is a more economic and - at the end of the day - more authentic approach, and it will have the benefit that it could improve the sound quality of your room and thus the perceived performance of your AV system, too.
In a few weeks I intend to post a couple of before and after pictures to illustrate the most welcome TNG touch addition to my home theatre.
I thought mentioning my "find" would be useful to other TNG fans, that look forward adding a 24th Century feel to their rooms and/or home theatres.

Re: Now THIS is a home theater I could get into!
It appears indeed that for the wall covering of the transporter room they did use SONEXone panels 24" x 48" where the defining pattern characteristic is one row of "positive" (or "male") elements is followed by one row of "negative" (or "female") elements, which can be best seen in this screencap (each triple element measures 5" x 5").
However, this screencap reveals that for the transporter chamber they used panels with much smaller elements, and to make matters more complicated these feature only the "negative" (or "female") panel pattern.
As far as I can tell these are probably the lesser known SONEXjunior panels, that come at a size of 24" x 24" and contain approx. 8 x 8 elements at half the size of the other SONEX variations.
By the end of Season 4 not only did they change the conference lounge wall () but the transporter room walls as well, i.e. the original vertical element floor piece then covered the entire area outside the transport chamber.
As a minor detail, the SONEXOne had a little comeback as the wall padding of the USS Yosemite's transport chamber in "Realm of Fear".
I hope some of you may find this information useful, in case you spot additional applications of these panels in TNG please tell me or us.

Tricks Of The Trade 01—Steam Boxes
by Reuel Parker
May 9, 2014
Steam boxes seem to have drifted into the realm of anachronisms. About once every ten years someone asks me how the devil you make one in a hurry… so here's how.
I start by cruising around middle-class neighborhoods on trash day. Or you can check the local dump. What I am looking for is a discarded hot water heater, of average size. It seems plumbers tell their clients they need a new one, and the old one ends up by the curb. When I find one I throw it in the back of my truck and bring it to whatever boatyard I happen to be working in (in this instance it was Port Salerno, Florida).
A heavy-duty steam box made from spruce 2x12s powered by a discarded hot water heater
First thing is to strip off the outer sheet metal cover, remove the fiberglass insulation, and toss these items in the dumpster. Next, bypass the thermostat and hot-wire a 240 volt AC power cord directly to the heater element—but don't turn the electricity on (just yet). I find it interesting that the few times I have done this, I found the only thing wrong with the discarded heater was either a rusty cover, bad thermostat or a burned out heater element. You can use an ohmmeter to test for continuity in the heater element. If it shows infinite resistance or a direct short, the element is burned out. Elements are (mostly) easy to replace, and available from any plumbing outlet, Lowes or Home Depot stores.
White oak frames in the box ready for steaming
Hot water heaters are plumbed as follows: cold water in; hot water out; emergency relief valve; drain (optional). Cold water in is usually located low on the tank, while hot water is located high (by convection, hot water rises highest). Use plugs for all but cold water in and hot water out (near the top of the tank).
Make the steam box from standard lumber, using plywood for doors at each end. Cut channels in the sides of the box near the ends to allow the doors to lift out. Make supports from 2x2s for your frame stock to rest on several feet apart, depending on the size of the stock (thicker frames need fewer supports). Make the top of the steam box shorter than the sides and bottom for the lift-out doors. Use small cleats to help seal the doors at the bottom—the tighter the box, the better it will work.
Plumb the top of the hot water heater to the bottom-middle of the steam box using metal pipe fittings and rubber hose (PVC fittings will melt). The tank may be used vertically or laid at an angle (as in the first photo). Fill the tank two-thirds full of water and connect power to the heater element(s)—(some hot water heaters have two elements). After perhaps an hour or two, steam will be produced. Because the thermostat was bypassed, the heater element will not shut off until you disconnect the power. Note that if the water level falls below the level of the heater element, it will burn out—hence you may have to add water periodically when steaming large material.
The frames we steamed in the box shown in these photos were for the restoration of the 1926 Alden Malabar Junior IMAGINE, undertaken (the second time) in 1989. Although the sloop was only around 30′ on deck, she was strongly built, and her frames were about 1 ¼″ x 1 ¾″. They required many hours of steaming to take the curves in IMAGINE's beautiful wineglass hull. The time required was determined by trial and error—the frames had to be very hot, wet and limber before we could fit them into IMAGINE's hull.
IMAGINE had been wrecked in a fall gale near City Island, New York. A large hole had been smashed through her port side, affecting many frames, planks and decking. To replace frames, I re-planked her using alternate planks, leaving gaps for large C-clamps to hold the hot frames to the correct hull shape. The latter was determined by taking a template from the adjacent starboard side and attaching it to the port side to establish hull shape—you can see the top of the template in the photo below-left.
The real challenge involved getting the bottoms of the new frames to make the radical reverse curve below the turn of the bilge, where the frame was driven beside the keelson. The frames had to be very, very hot and limber, requiring hours of steaming, and we had to work very quickly. A four pound sledge hammer was used to drive the frames (from above) into their final position, as evidenced by the damage to the frame head on Bill's left. The lower frame ends were trimmed to fit against the keelson before steaming.
My boatbuilding partner Bill Smith pushing a hot
frame into place—gloves are required!
Using a flat pry bar to force a hot frame beside the
The frame shown in the above-right photo was later fastened to the adjacent white oak floor timber. The square bolt head visible in the top/right of the photo is a keel bolt, attaching the floor timber through the keelson, into the outer keel, and finally through the cast iron ballast.
Large C-clamps were used to hold hot frames in place prior to fastening
The new frames in place, ready to be trimmed to fit below the covering board
In the above photo you can see the section of new scarfed-in-place sheer clamp, into which the frames were through-bolted using bronze carriage bolts. The new frames were fastened to the planks, after which the "shutter" planks were spiled and laid between them. Then the entire hull was faired and double-diagonal planked using epoxy glue. After a final fairing, the hull was covered with Xynole-polyester fabric saturated with epoxy, with two fabric layers below the boot top.
A "quick and dirty" steam box made from PVC pipe, a kettle and Coleman stove
For steam-bending small trim, I devised the Q & D steam box shown in the above photo. We were building the prototype Commuter 36 MAGIC, which required curved trim pieces inside and outside the elliptical cabin front.
These are examples of two very different steam boxes devised from commonly available materials. Both did their job perfectly.

Sandhogs continue to make progress on New York City's enormous $11 billion East Side train tunnel
Friday, March 6, 2015
Henry Melcher.
New York City's MTA has posted another collection of East Side Access construction photos to remind New Yorkers that its majorly delayed and hugely over budget project is still actually chugging along. When East Side Access is ultimately completed, at the cost of nearly $11 billion, it will connect Long Island Rail Road trains to Grand Central making life easier for about 80,000 commuters. But that's a long ways off—last we heard, the project will not be completed until 2023.
In Construction> New York City's East Side Access tunnel dons a yellow raincoat deep underground
Tuesday, December 9, 2014
Henry Melcher.
Every so often, New York City's MTA shares a batch of construction photos to remind New Yorkers that one of its long-delayed projects is still chugging along beneath their feet. The latest photo set takes us underneath Manhattan where the MTA is busy borrowing tunnels that will one day connect the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central. The whole project is expected to cost nearly $11 billion and won't be wrapped up until 2023, so no need to rush through the gallery.
Slideshow> The Manhattan Tunnels of East Side Access
Thursday, August 7, 2014
Henry Melcher.
The MTA has released a new batch of images of the under-construction tunnels for its "East Side Access" project. For the uninitiated, East Side Access is the agency's $10.8 billion plan to connect the Long Island Railroad with Grand Central Terminal. The project was initially scheduled to be completed by 2009, but, like so many large infrastructure projects, the East Side Access has been delayed. The project is now scheduled to open in 2023. All told, the project is expected to be $6.5 billion over budget.
Video> Sandhogs Blast Bedrock Beneath Grand Central Terminal
Tuesday, April 9, 2013
Amanda Gruen.
New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has completed blasting through bedrock far below Grand Central Terminal for the East Side Access Tunnels that will connect the station with Sunnyside, Queens. As part of the announcement, one of the last production blasts from late March has debuted on YouTube. The video above reveals what has been transpiring beneath the streets of Manhattan during the tunneling process, and the sight is rather impressive. A camera caught the final blast that made way for a massive cavern. So far 2,424 production blasts have occurred below the commuter rail terminal station, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. For this explosion, sandhogs drilled more than 200 blast holes and loaded them with over 300 pounds of powder to guarantee a powerful explosion that could rival any action movie's special effects.
