Unusually heavy rains and high water levels resulted in the release of an unknown "sludge-like material" into the Ocoee River earlier in the week.
According to Public Affairs Officer Terry McDonald at the Cherokee National Forest office in Cleveland, heavy rains and high water prompted a release from TVA's Ocoee Dam #3, which sent debris and a heavy flow of "sludge-like material" into the Ocoee River from the "White Water Center on down." Mr. McDonald said that samples of the material were collected and sent out for analysis.
TDEC has taken over investigation of the event. We contacted them about the release and will let you know when we hear back.
The Ocoee watershed in the lower East Tennessee Copper Basin is impacted by pollution from area copper and sulfur mining operations going back to 1843.
Ocoee Reservoir #3 is on the EPA's list of impaired waters, and a recent TDEC statewide water quality status report identifies the primary pollutants as copper, iron, and zinc. The 2008 report also says that Ocoee #3 is "almost filled" with sediment and suspended solids.
The public health risks do not appear to be serious or immediate. An EPA human health risk assessment advised against consuming more than 31.5 grams (4.5 servings) of fish per month from Ocoee #3 because of mercury (presumably from other sources such as coal-fired power plant emissions).
But the report also says that "exposure to contaminants in sediment and surface water of the Ocoee River are not predicted to result in unacceptable levels of health risk to area residents, recreational visitors, or whitewater rafting guides."
There's no word yet, though, on what the sludge-like material from Ocoee #3 is or what pollutants it might contain.
UPDATE: TDEC initial report.
Record level for the Emory
Although not unusual for the season, the Emory River hit a record high level for the date yesterday. The previous record high was 19,100 Cubic Feet per Second. For comparison, the Ocoee typically runs around 1,200 CFS during rafting season. From the graph of the river flow measured at Oakdale (still above some of the smaller tributaries like Clifty Creek but a good indicator for the spill location) The flow hit 25,000 cfs.
Questions will have to be answered about how much sludge got past the new weir. A certain amount has to be expected.

How big is this dam? It's #3
How big is this dam? It's #3 of how many? Are they numbered going downriver or upriver? Is it a power-generating dam or the one that regulates flow in the whitewater channel?
#3 is the dam most up river.
#3 is the dam most up river. It regulates releases for the whitewater area. I thought that was done mostly by sending water through the flume to the powerhouse or not, but I'm really hazy on details.
Edit: Here's the TVA webpage on this reservoir. (link...)
#3 is upsteam of #2 and #1.
#3 is upsteam of #2 and #1. #1 is the biggest. 3 is the second biggest. it is power generating primarily but of course they regulate how much is release for commercial use. in the summer, water is released from #3 about 30 days - just saturdays and sundays. water is released from #2 five days a week from memorial day to labor day. over 300,000 people raft on an 11 mile stretch each year immediately downstream of #3.
There are three, looks like
There are three, looks like they are numbered going upstream (from looking at the map). TVA says together they generate 67,000 KW of power. #3 provides whitewater for the Olympic section, and the rafting area from #2.
They were built a long time ago and look pretty primitive. There's a wooden sluice running from one down the mountain to its powerhouse, as I recall.
Here's TVA's info on the system:
ETA: Reservoir #3 is 480 acres, #2 is 494. I believe Ocoee #1 is approx. 2000 acres.
Metal Release from Bottom
Metal Release from Bottom Sediments of Ocoee Lake No. 3, a Primary Catchment Area for the Ducktown Mining District
...the metal-rich sediment of the lake should be considered as potentially hazardous to bottom-dwelling aquatic species and other organisms in the local food chain. In addition, if the reservoir is dredged or if the dam is removed, the accumulated sediment may have to be treated for recovery of sorbed metals.
Link...The massive amounts
2002 planning report: (link...)
The massive amounts of sediment in the three TVA reservoirs on the Ocoee River present another challenge, due to the toxic metals that are present and the maintenance that is required to remove or flush sediments so that hydroelectric generation can continue. Flows, reservoir management and water quality are among the issues that will be part of TVA's comprehensive 2-year reservoir operations study that is already underway.
Coincidentally, this problem now appears to be "solved"?

I know way too much about the Ocoee Dams
TVA charges us for our own water in order to have a whitewater mecca. Say what you will, the Ocoee rafting business has been an economic bonanza for several nearby counties.
We have to pay to run the Olympic course. It's worth it.
The sludge that got released is old mining sediment that filled in the reservoirs and gets flushed out from time to time. WE've been here before and nobody noticed or listened even though river people were screaming. Now it's different. This is very bad...and it's very good. Everybody's looking now. It's costing me tens of thousands of dollars in lost property values and more is property sales that have been lost, but...In the long run it's going to be worth it.
Suddenly, Everybody in America is an environmentalist. I welcome them to the fight.

Ratepayers subsidize the Coal Industry and the Greater Energy Industry as well as paying for the final product.
What you missed was that the economic boom of that area now has branched out far beyond the small rafting industry. The rafting tourism is the catalyst and the cost of the lost generating capacity is a pittance, and yet TVA demanded the people pay for something they had taken from the people in the first place.

To: TVA, From: God, Re: My river
SK Bubba, 7/17/2002 10:05:23 AM
thedailytimes.com - Boulder damages TVA flume; whitewater rafters may benefit
A boulder that broke loose and smashed a Tennessee Valley Authority flume on the Ocoee River could turn out to be an economic splash for commercial rafting companies.
"There will temporarily be more water for rafting," said TVA spokeswoman Barbara Martocci.
TVA used the flume to divert water from the Ocoee for generating electricity on Tuesdays and Wednesday. But with the flume out of commission, rafting could be available seven days a week at least temporarily, TVA officials said. Hours for rafting on the other five days also could expand.
Sometimes mankind, and even TVA, needs to be reminded of their station in the universe lest we become too arrogant and self-important. In this case of sweet irony, TVA is served up a little reminder that they can't mess with Mother Nature and get away with it all the time, and maybe a little message from upstairs ("And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.").
Of course, it may have just been some yahoo rafters or outfitters with a stick or two of stolen dynamite, or even George Hayduke and the Monkey Wrench Gang. We may never know. But then again, they say God works in mysterious ways.
At any rate, it seems like appropriate payback for TVA for this:
TVA ENDS FREE WATER FOR EVENTS On Ocoee
In October, when American Whitewater hosts the Teva Whitewater National Championships on the Upper Ocoee River Olympic Course, it may well be the last event ever held at this premier whitewater venue. After the national championships, unless event organizers or local outfitters pay to have water put in the river, the $26 million Ocoee Whitewater Center, built with public funds for the 1996 Olympics, will sit on a dry river bed.
A five year agreement developed at the time of the Olympics, in which the Tennessee Valley Authority agreed to provide water for competitions each of those five years, has expired. This year's National Championships would not be taking place if a slalom event in 2001 hadn't been canceled because of the September 11 tragedy, leaving "event days" of water available for use this year. The TVA has laid claim to the water and will not release it unless paid at a cost event organizers find prohibitive.
For the Upper Ocoee, however, the TVA is holding the river's water hostage, demanding user fees that run in the neighborhood of $262,000 for 20 days of recreational use water.
That's great stuff, Randy
I was there for most of the fight to get water for events. Our savior was the late great Johnny Hayes, who just walked in the door at Dagger one day and said, "Educate me about this stuff." We talked, he listened, and the Olympics happened on the Ocoee. Ok, It was more complicated than that, but we had a TVA Director who had a broader vision than just delivering the watts.
Oh Johnny, Where are you now that we really need you?

Two vans destroyed by arson
PLACENTIA – Police say two stolen cargo vans were intentionally set on fire early Wednesday.
Around 4 a.m., police and Orange County Fire Authority personnel were dispatched to the 900 block of Lawrence Street, where the vans were fully engulfed in flames, said Placentia police Lt. Eric Point.
The van were stolen earlier from a business in the 900 block of South Placentia Avenue, Point said.
Based on evidence collected at the scene, investigators determined the fires had been intentionally set using an accelerant, he said.
Commercial carpet-cleaning equipment of an unknown value was allegedly stolen out of the vans prior to the vehicles being torched, Point said.
No one was injured in the fires that destroyed the vans.
The fires are being investigated jointly by police and the OCFA.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is encouraged to call Placentia detectives at 714-993-8146.

No one can deny the strong revenue potential for online video. However, there are many schools of thought on how that revenue potential can be realized. Publishers and advertisers alike hope that realization happens soon.
Most consumers probably feel differently.
A new study from Burst Media says that consumers are turned off by in-stream ads, such as pre-roll. While advertisers and publishers don't want to hear this, the study raises many issues that might make you question the study's validity, second-guess its naysayers, and even determine whether or not you should take action to address its findings.
Ad vs. Brand Recall
The study of 2,600 respondents found that more than half (53.6 percent) of all respondents actually remembered that they'd seen ads. But do they remember what the ads were for? Ads, especially those in the form of a traditional TV spot, are hard to avoid, but easy to ignore.
You'll remember it when an ad interrupts an online experience, such as watching an online video. The number of people who remembered seeing ads doesn't surprise me.
Of those people who remembered seeing ads, how many recall what the ads were for? That would be a key piece of learning to take away from this study, but alas, that statistic is nowhere to be found.
Video, Interrupted
A total of 78 percent of respondents said in-stream ads were intrusive and 50 percent said those ads disrupted their viewing experience.
Well, yes. Ads interrupt. That's their job. No news here.
Ads and the Effect on the Viewing Experience
One in two respondents said they stopped watching a video once they encountered an in-stream ad. And, 43 percent stuck around to watch the content.
But here's something interesting. Those ages 18 to 24 were actually the most tolerant of in-stream ads: 57 percent watched content past an ad. This demographic represents the generation of on-demand, P2P, I-want-it-now, media consumption.
To me, this actually holds promise for the online video business, and gives me a glass half-full feeling about online video's ad-supported future. While many bloggers and pundits zeroed in on the 15 percent of the people who abandoned Web sites after seeing an in-stream ad, we should instead focus on those who stuck around.
If the 18- to 24-year-old age group stats haven't surprised you, here's another one: 38.5 percent pay more attention to in-stream video ads than they do to standard ads.
So, while the study has provided plenty of fodder for critics of the online video industry, it gives us quite a bit to be optimistic about. If 18- to 24-year-olds are our future, then online video advertising's future actually looks pretty bright.
Til then, it'd just be nice to have more studies that are more thorough to learn more from.

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/19/12 -- Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX:IAU)(ASX:IAU) (the "Company") comments that on Monday 17 December 2012 the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") asked the Company to respond to a media article in the Sydney Morning Herald ("SMH") regarding the reported transfer of the Tujuh Bukit IUPs, held by joint venture partner PT IMN, to a third party.
The Company responded to ASX on 17 December noting that it was making enquiries and would lodge an announcement later in the day. The Company lodged on the ASX platform for pre-market open on 18 December the announcement set out below.
However, pre-market open on 18 December, ASX requested that the Company amend the proposed announcement, before it would be released on the ASX platform. In particular the ASX required a response only to the matters raised in the SMH publication and, further, the deletion of all historical background.
The Company responded that the information in the proposed announcement was to place the SMH article in context and to provide an update on all related matters including other market rumours about the Company and the Tujuh Bukit project recently brought to the attention of the Company by its shareholders.
In compliance with ASX direction, a substantially limited announcement was eventually released to the market late on 18 December 2012.
The Company believes shareholders should have the benefit of the full text of the original announcement and has made this available to shareholders on the Company's website www.intrepidmines.com.
Full text of the announcement follows:
Campaign Against Intrepid Continues Unabated
BRISBANE, 18 DECEMBER 2012: Intrepid Mines Limited (TSX:IAU)(ASX:IAU) (the "Company") comments on the reported transfer of Tujuh Bukit IUPs held by joint venture partner PT IMN to a third party, and progress on two complaints lodged against the original shareholders of PT IMN and other parties associated with PT IMN with the police in Jakarta regarding fraud and embezzlement of funds and unlawful denial of access.
Reported transfer of Tujuh Bukit IUPs
Information purportedly provided to the Australian media by Mr Paul Willis, who has recently served a statement of claim on the Company, implies a transfer of IUPs to a company called PT Bumi Sukses Indo (BSI), and a subsequent transfer of shareholding in BSI. This company now has several corporate shareholders, whose ultimate holding have informally been traced back to Mr Edwin Soeryadjaya, Provident Capital and Mr Garibaldi Thohir, another influential Indonesian businessman and associate of Mr Soeryadjaya.
As far as Intrepid is able to tell, the document signed by the Banyuwangi regent appears to be genuine and suggests that IUPs in Banyuwangi were issued to BSI in July 2012, but it is noted that the most recent formal lists of certified "clean and clear" IUPs issued by the Indonesian Energy and Minerals Department, does not reflect this holding.
Refer: Appendix for detailed background.
Complaints against original shareholders and other parties associated with PT IMN
The first relates to fraud and embezzlement of funds solicited from Emperor and Intrepid by PT IMN with the promise of the grant of shares in PT IMN, and the continued calling of funds after it became apparent that PT IMN and its shareholders had no intention of honouring the agreements in place with the Company.
The second complaint relates to the unlawful denial of access to site and unlawful retention of equipment and intellectual property. Under the terms of the Alliance Agreement, intellectual property situated at the Project site belongs to Emperor, and the Company sourced, bought and paid for several items of technical equipment which are now being withheld from it.
The complaints were made in October 2012and the Indonesian police are progressing their investigation, including interviews of the original and current shareholders of PT IMN.
Unusual share trading activity
The Company regularly interrogates shareholder movements and is aware that there has been a noticeable and unusual shareholding build-up by two brokers in Singapore, both of whom cite local privacy laws as a reason for declining to cooperate with section 672 notices requiring disclosure of beneficial holders. A fund from Singapore, Quantum Pacific Capital, has also been very actively lobbying the Company's major shareholders to sell significant stakes to Quantum at discounted prices and have nominated potential new directors and management for the Company.
In summary
Intrepid asserts that it has complied fully with the terms of its agreements, and has acted at all times in full compliance with relevant laws. Intrepid asserts that it remains legally entitled to an 80% economic interest in the Tujuh Bukit project, and disputes that the current uncertainty over ownership rights is merely a contractual dispute between commercial partners. Intrepid further asserts that it is the victim of an attempt at criminal fraud that is now under investigation by Indonesian Police.
Intrepid Chief Executive, Brad Gordon, stated that the Company intends to use every means at its disposal to frustrate these attempts to usurp its rights to the Project. "Nothing is as critical to our future and our shareholders' interests as resolving this matter, and we intend to focus all our people on it, and devote all our resources to supporting their actions", he said. "While we remain confident that our complaints of criminal fraud will be upheld, nobody should question our preparedness for a long-term battle to retain our rights, if that should be what is required."
"In the meantime, Intrepid advises shareholders to treat with caution any offers or representations from parties that may be associated with the actions against your Company. We remain available to discuss the background to and progress of matters with our shareholders."
Ian McMaster AM Brad Gordon Chairman Managing Director and CEO
Background: Intrepid's predecessor, Emperor Mines Pty Limited ("Emperor") began its working relationship with PT Indo Multi Niaga ("PT IMN"), then owned by Indonesians Andreas Reza Nazaruddin ("Reza") and Maya Miranda Ambarsari ("Maya"), in 2007.
In 2007, Emperor management was approached by Paul Willis, an Australian associate of Maya and Reza, with an offer to participate in a mining project at Banyuwangi, East Java, which later came to be known as Tujuh Bukit. The Emperor technical team reviewed the project and subsequently, on 19 August 2007, an agreement was signed amongst Emperor, PT IMN, Maya, Reza, Mr Willis and associates of Mr Willis (together, the "Counterparties"). Under the terms of this agreement (the "Initial Alliance Agreement"), Emperor could earn a 70% economic interest in the Tujuh Bukit project (the "Project") by incurring expenditure of A$8 million in milestone payments and project funding. Emperor was then required to sole fund a further A$42 million in project expenditure.
This initial agreement had a term of six months, to allow for Emperor to undertake initial due diligence on the project and to afford the parties time to negotiate and execute definitive joint venture documentation. From September 2007, Emperor management attempted to convene meetings with the Counterparties, through Mr Willis, but Emperor was repeatedly informed of the cancellation of these meetings at short notice. In early 2008, the Counterparties, once again through Mr Willis, requested a rescheduling of payments to be made under the Alliance Agreement and Emperor agreed to the rescheduling. In February 2008, complete joint venture documentation, reflecting the discussions with Mr Willis on behalf of the Counterparties, was presented to Mr Willis for review by the Counterparties. Several dates were set for meetings in Jakarta for a joint review of the documentation, but these meetings were once again cancelled on short notice by the Counterparties through Mr Willis. In March 2008, Mr Willis indicated to Emperor that the Indonesian Counterparties no longer wished to proceed in cooperating with Emperor, as they were seeking more money and wanted an Indonesian joint venture partner, and he also indicated that they would not sign the joint venture documentation, or an extension of the Initial Alliance Agreement, which would lapse on 31 March 2008.
Thereafter, in April 2008, Maya and Reza contacted Emperor management and indicated that they wished to continue a relationship with Emperor and indicated that they had not made a request for more money or recorded a preference for an Indonesian partner. Rather, they indicated that Mr Willis had been trying to persuade them that they should discontinue the cooperation with Emperor (despite the expenditure of funds in excess of A$1 million by Emperor), in favour of a transaction with a large Indonesian conglomerate. They also indicated that they had been requested to sign a new alliance agreement with an investor sourced by Mr Willis.
Due to the misinformation being provided to it by Mr Willis and as Maya and Reza were the shareholders in PT IMN, Emperor entered into discussions directly with Maya and Reza to formalise an ongoing joint venture arrangement in respect of the Project. Once the terms of this agreement were finalised, the Indonesian Counterparties indicated to Mr Willis that they no longer wished to continue their collaboration with him, due to the breaches of trust which had occurred. Mr Willis had been acting as a technical advisor and financier to PT IMN, and Emperor agreed to reimburse Mr Willis for his expenditure on the Project to date. After a negotiation regarding the amount of the reimbursement, binding settlement documentation was executed between Emperor and Mr Willis and his associated companies, under the terms of which Mr Willis accepted an amount of $2 million and acknowledged that he had no further claims or entitlements in respect of the Project or PT IMN. PT IMN and Mr Willis additionally executed a document terminating all arrangements in place between those parties.
In April 2008, Emperor entered into an agreement with PT IMN, Maya and Reza (the "Alliance Agreement"), to regulate the ongoing working relationship at the Project. The Alliance Agreement provided that Emperor could earn an 80% economic interest in the Project by spending A$8 million in milestone payments and project expenditure and would thereafter sole fund A$42 million in project expenditure. The earn-in percentage had been increased from 70% under the Initial Alliance Agreement by reason of Emperor's A$2 million payment to Mr Willis and his associates, who were no longer involved in the Project, as the agreed reimbursement of expenditure by him and in settlement of any entitlements to the Project. As Indonesia was in the process of drafting a new mining law at the time the Alliance Agreement was entered into, the agreement proposed an indicative mining services structure for the joint venture going forward, but noted that the parties would amend this structure to bring it into line with the new mining law, once implemented. It should be noted that cooperation agreements with terms similar to the one proposed under the Alliance Agreement were commonly used by foreign companies cooperating with Indonesian mining companies, and the type of arrangements put in place had been viewed as bankable at another project of which Emperor was aware. Subsequent to the promulgation of the new Indonesian Mining Law in 2009, and implementing regulations in 2010, several foreign companies who had operated under similar cooperation agreements with local Indonesian mining companies went on to convert their contractual rights in respect of mining projects into direct shareholding in the Indonesian companies without event.
In September 2008, PT IMN, Maya, Reza and Emperor also entered into a shareholders' agreement in respect of a Singaporean company which had been established for the purposes of conducting the joint venture (the "Shareholders' Agreement"). The agreement provided that the parties would execute documentation to allow Emperor to hold direct equity in the vehicle holding the Tujuh Bukit licences, should the Indonesian mining law change to allow for foreign ownership in in companies holding mining licences.
Due to the commencement of discussions and negotiation of documentation between Intrepid and PT IMN and Vale Exploration and the subsequent enactment in January 2009 of the new Mining Law, the structure envisioned by the Alliance Agreement was deferred and subsequently not implemented, but the Company continued to fund the Project and seconded personnel to PT IMN to provide technical expertise to the Project, in accordance with the intent of the Alliance Agreement and Shareholders' Agreement.
In March 2008, Emperor completed a merger with Intrepid Mines Limited ("Intrepid" or the "Company") and the merged entity proceeded under the Intrepid name.
At the time of the signing of the original Alliance Agreement, Intrepid, as a non-Indonesian company, was unable to hold any direct rights - through shares or otherwise - to the Tujuh Bukit Project tenements (kuasa pertambangan, or "KPs"). Rather, these rights to the Tujuh Bukit Project tenements were held by PT IMN. In January 2009, Indonesia enacted a new mining law (the "Mining Law"), which provided, inter alia, that foreign entities could hold shares in companies holding mining licences (now known as izin usaha pertambangan or "IUPs"). In accordance with the Alliance Agreement and Shareholders' Agreement, the Company commenced negotiations with PT IMN to restructure the joint venture arrangements so that PT IMN would be converted into a foreign capital investment company in which the Company, through a subsidiary, would ultimately hold 80% of the shares and therefore a direct interest in the Tujuh Bukit Project. This restructuring process would require certain governmental approvals, including a recommendation from the Bupati of Banyuwangi.
In November 2010, the Company and PT IMN signed an addendum agreement which documented the agreed restructuring arrangements and, in June 2011, the parties executed a further agreement stipulating the milestone payments which would be made in respect of the restructuring steps. Subsequently, Intrepid advanced negotiations with PT IMN in order to finalise the terms of the shareholders' agreement which would govern the relationship between the parties once the agreed restructuring was completed. In the following year, despite the Company's efforts, little progress was made and, in June 2012, the Company learned that the PT IMN's shareholding had changed to include new partners holding 80% of the expanded equity in that company.
To date, the Company has fully complied with all of its obligations under the Alliance Agreement and addenda, and has expended in excess of A$105 million on capital payments to PT IMN and Project funding (including funding PT IMN's Jakarta offices and salaries for Maya and Reza).
Following the discovery in June 2012 that the original owners of PT IMN had transferred 80% of the company to new parties, Intrepid gathered information from public sources indicating possible links between the new shareholders and Edwin Soeryadjaya, a prominent Indonesian businessman. (Since Intrepid's removal from the Tujuh Bukit site, media in Indonesia and Australia have reported extensively on the new owners of PT IMN, and have noted similar links). Shortly thereafter, members of the Company's board requested a meeting with Mr Soeryadjaya to determine his involvement in the matter and ascertain what outcomes he and his associates were seeking. Mr Soeryadjaya agreed to meet and an initial meeting was held In a subsequent meeting, Mr Soeryadjaya made an offer to settle the matter on the basis that the Company be compensated for waiving its contractual rights to PT IMN and the Project.
Despite the changes to the shareholding and management of PT IMN having been registered in May 2012, PT IMN representatives continued meeting with the Company's representatives, purportedly to negotiate the terms of the joint venture going forward. Once the Company became aware through its own enquiries, prompted by the slow pace of negotiations with the founding shareholders of PT IMN, of the change in shareholding and management and attempted to confront the issue by meeting with PT IMN's management, Maya and Reza ceased all communication with the Company and failed to respond to e-mails or telephone calls. Although the corporate changes within PT IMN were officially recorded in May 2012, and were almost certainly under negotiation even before that date, PT IMN's management continued making cash calls of the Company and Intrepid funded approximately A$10 million in site and Jakarta office costs between May and July 2012.
Without forewarning, on 19 July 2012, PT IMN suspended exploration activities at Tujuh Bukit without reference to Intrepid and requested several members of local management, including all expatriate employees seconded to PT IMN from Intrepid, to leave site. These actions were in contravention of the agreements in place between Emperor, PT IMN and Maya and Reza.
Also on 19 July, Brad Gordon received a phone call from Mr Willis, substantial shareholder in and then Chief Executive of Sihayo Gold, who admitted knowledge of the plan to remove Intrepid's seconded employees from site and intimated that he would broker a "deal" between the Company and the new shareholders in PT IMN, in return for a share of the Project. Mr Willis resigned as CEO of Sihayo Gold in December 2012, but according to press reports, remains a consultant to that company. Mr Soeryadjaya is a principal founder of Saratoga Capital, whose associated company, Summit Investments, is a 17% shareholder in Sihayo Gold. In recent months, following Intrepid's exclusion from the Project site, personnel associated with Sihayo Gold and its consultants, as well as personnel of Provident Capital Partners, have visited Tujuh Bukit and been undertaking supervisory work at the site. Provident Capital has partnered with Saratoga Capital in a number of investments in Indonesia, including telecommunications infrastructure and palm oil. The founder of Provident Capital is also a director of both Sihayo Gold and Saratoga Capital.
On 31 July 2012, the Company issued 27,680,017 ordinary shares, representing approximately 5% of the Company's expanded issued capital, to prominent Indonesian businessman, Surya Paloh. Additionally, the Company issued to Mr Paloh 51,208,032 unlisted restricted performance rights to ordinary shares, subject to vesting conditions.
Since this time, the Company has been actively working with Mr Paloh, to resolve the dispute over the Tujuh Bukit project. A key focus has been on ensuring that both community and government officials in Banyuwangi and in Jakarta are properly informed of Intrepid's rights under its agreements with PT IMN and the Company's contribution to date to social and economic development in the Banyuwangi area.
The Company is aware of rumours that the Project IUPs have been transferred to a company called PT Bumi Sukses Indo ("BSI") which has several corporate shareholders, whose ultimate holding can be traced back to Mr Soeryadjaya and Provident Capital. The Company was in the process of verifying this information, and on 16 December 2012, Intrepid's Chief Executive, Brad Gordon, received a call from a reporter from the Sydney Morning Herald, advising that the reporter had been contacted by Paul Willis and was in possession of a document indicating the transfer of the Tujuh Bukit IUPs. The document was provided to Mr Gordon - it is written in the Indonesian language and is currently being reviewed but appears to refer to the issue of two IUPs to BSI in July 2012 and to a subsequent change in shareholding in BSI. The Company has informally learnt that, through various layers of corporate structuring, the majority underlying beneficial shareholders in BSI include Provident Capital, Mr Soeryadjaya and Mr Garibaldi Thohir, another influential Indonesian businessman and associate of Mr Soeryadjaya It should be noted that the "Clean and Clear" list issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mining still reflects PT IMN as the holder of the Tujuh Bukit IUPs.

The Mountains & the Trees
I Made This for You
(Indie Europe/Zoom)
US: 10 Aug 2010
UK: 10 Aug 2010
Jon Janes, the singer-songwriter behind the Mountains & the Trees, seems to be just as sweet and soft-spoken as the offer in his new album's title implies. I Made This for You is a record of guileless, nearly innocent folk-pop that has both a bedroom immediacy and a orchestral heft working in its favor. Janes' songs can take on some precious material, but there's a sincerity to it that goes a long way. The childhood story of "Fear of Ghosts", or the lovelorn shuffle of "More and More and More" show Janes as a diehard romantic, and he brings that romance out in these hushed, confessional tunes. Smartly eschewing the coffeehouse vibe of just guitar and voice, he gets a lot of players to help him here. The clever, full-band number, "Minimum Wage Lovers", shows Janes and his players in top form. Still, as charming as these songs can be, it's easy to wish this album didn't didn't sound so sweet all the time. There's an aw-shucks vibe to this that can be a bit much, and it eventually takes its toll on the record. At his best, Janes is a humble-sounding, doe-eyed fella, kicking at the dirt while he quietly sings. When it works it works, but it's not a tone you want to stretch out over a whole record, which is what happens on I Made This for You.

The risk of catching Hepatitis A from potentially contaminated fruit is "relatively low", the Ministry of Primary Industries says.
MPI today warned New Zealand apples and peaches sold between February 27 and March 13 may be carrying Hepatitis A - an acute infectious liver disease.
Fruit affected includes Royal Gala and New Zealand Beauty apples, and Golden Queen peaches.
The warning was issued after a worker at a Hawke's Bay pack house was found to have the virus, and could have been infectious during a four-day fruit-handling period.
An MPI spokesman said the risk of contamination was low, but it was protocol to issue a warning in response to the diagnosis.
The packer would have been wearing gloves, which greatly minimised the risk of the disease spreading, he said.
MPI Deputy Director General Scott Gallacher said people should be on alert for symptoms of the virus: "Skin jaundice, or yellowing of the whites of the eyes, dark-coloured urine or pale bowel motions. Early signs of hepatitis A are a fever, a loss of appetite, stomach pains and nausea."
Gallacher said washing the fruit would not make it safe to eat.
"If you have any concerns that the fruit you have was on sale between February 27 and March 13 then the best thing is you either cook it or if you have any doubt, put it out," he said.
Some of the affected fruit has been traced and withdrawn from sale, but about 1400 cartoons have been sold and possibly consumed.
Hepatitis A is an infectious liver disease that can be spread through personal contact and contaminated food, according to the Ministry of Health.
Symptoms take six weeks to appear.
Potentially contaminated fruit include New Zealand Beauty apples sold at Countdown, Fresh Choice and Super Value supermarkets in the South Island.
Despite earlier warnings, Fresh Choice and Super Value Supermarkets in the North Island did not receive any potentially affected fruit.
The following independent retailers in Christchurch received Royal Gala Apples: G Morris and Son, Fresh Connection, United Fresh, Edgeware Supervalue.
The following independent retailers in Auckland received Golden Queen Peaches: Lim Chour (K-Road), Fruit World Pioneer Plaza (Henderson), Manukau Fresh Fruit and Vege, Fresh for Less (Henderson), Save Fruit and Vege Shop (Manukau), Green Field Fruit and Vege (Green Bay), New Lynn Fresh, Fresh World in Hawera.

Data Centre Whitepapers
While selecting the right data centre in terms of the facility, location, and reliability is critically important, SMBs need to understand they can realise significant value when they insist on maximising the operation. Find out why you should not assume equipment is well-tended just because the colocation is operating smoothly, why SMBs should take the initiative when it comes to organising, protecting, and managing their own equipment, and how you can achieve these goals effectively for the best result.
Before buying new UPS hardware, today's data centre operators need to know that the funds they're investing will result in a quick and significant payback, one that can be improved further if their electrical utility provides energy-efficiency incentive programs for data centres. Find out: How a properly equipped high-efficiency mode UPS pays for itself in as little as two years, the environmental benefits of UPS, plus, the 8 capabilities to look for in high efficiency mode UPS.
This white paper explains the variety of challenges when rapidly growing multi-tenant data centres (MTDCs) and then describes how the latest uninterruptible power systems (UPSs), air containment solutions can help MTDC owners significantly lower power-related operating expenses without weakening reliability or agility. It also uses the experiences of Hurricane Electric Internet Services, a leading retail co-location provider, as real-world evidence of the benefits MTDC operators can realise by embracing energy-efficiency best practices.
