Because not even classic-rock stations play new music by classic-rock artists, most of Dave Mason's younger fans find him through "a parent or a brother or sister - older - or rummaging around in their parents' stuff, I suppose - old albums," he said.
Those albums might include the first two Traffic records - Mason was a founding member - or the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Electric Ladyland, with Mason singing on "Crosstown Traffic," and memorably contributing the layers of acoustic guitars on "All Along the Watchtower," helping to wrest the song from Dylan and make it Jimi's. He also played bass and sitar on a few songs, although his work didn't make the final cut. "I have no idea whatever happened to those," he said in a recent phone interview, promoting his October 15 show at the Redstone Room. "I don't know where they ever went to."
Or it might be the Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet, on which he played some drums and, on "Street Fighting Man," added some horn. Or separate albums by Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Or they might discover him from his solo work, including hit songs "Feelin' Alright" and "We Just Disagree."
That sort of introduction suggests that Mason's best days are behind him, and that's not true.

The Black Keys' forthcoming album El Camino drops this coming Tuesday, and yesterday the band put three additional songs from the album (in addition to the already-released "Lonely Boy" and "Run Right Back") on its website. You'll have to enter an email address to listen to the new material--"Gold on the Ceiling," "Sister," and "Little Black Submarines"--and the latter, which begins uncharacteristically with an acoustic introduction before morphing into a full-scale Black Keys barn-burner, was the highlight after a couple initial listens.
Listen to the songs here.

- Do all versions of iPod nano support disk mode? 6 days ago
- Tip: Syncing your device to a new computer 1 week ago
- Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates 1 week ago
Apple's iTunes software is, in the main, designed to transfer data to their devices but not in the other direction. In general if you try to connect and sync an Apple device to a new library iTunes will want to erase all the current media content and replace it with items from the new library.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where your computer has been lost, stolen or damaged and you have no viable backup of your library then you can use the steps below to attempt to recover most, if not all, of your media and other information from your devices. If, however the library that has been lost or damaged was on your current computer see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash first.
If you still have the computer, but it is in a non-bootable state, then it may be possible to extract the hard drive, put it in an external drive bay and recover data from it that way. The steps in Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows may help to allow iTunes to properly access any recovered data. If the drive is accessible then using your old drive may well be easier than what follows, though it depends in part on the mix of purchased vs. ripped media and whether or not your device holds all your media, or a subset of it.
- Preparation
Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows - press CTRL+B to reveal the menu bar if needed) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
If this device contains contacts or calendar items that are not already on the computer you are using, and that you wish to recover, then make sure you have at least one contact & one event in the applications that will sync with the device (e.g. Windows Address Book or Outlook under Windows, iCal & Address Book on a Mac). Dummy entries will do, but there must be at least one if the data is to be retrieved from the device in step 7 below.
- Transfer purchases
You can transfer your iTunes Store purchases into a new library, after connecting the device, with the menu item File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from "<DeviceName>". You should be prompted to authorize the computer to your iTunes account if you have not already done so. If your device holds content from more than one account you will need to authorize each one. To avoid duplicates it may be easier to extract all media at one time at step 4, then come back to this step to recover any Apps or iPod Games. Note that with the introduction of app thinning in iOS 9 your device may no longer contain a complete version of each app. Transferring apps to iTunes no longer seems to work so they may need to be downloaded directly from the store as described in step 5.
See also: HT201267: Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer
- Back up (iOS only)
If this is an iOS device you should now right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Back Up to make a backup of the current settings and application data on the device.
See also HT201302: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC. Although a backup should include the contents of the camera roll it is probably best to copy off your photos and videos to local storage at the same time.
- Recover other media
iTunes only permits the transfer of iTunes Store purchases. If your device contains other media that you've ripped from CD or downloaded from other online stores you can either go back to the original sources or use third party software to extract your data from your device. There is a list of some of the software available below. Note also that photos synced to the device from a previous computer are not necessarily included in the device's backup so should be extracted now if possible.
- Recover other purchases
Your device may not have held all your iTunes Store purchases. You can recover qualifying purchases from your account by visiting the music home page of the iTunes Store then clicking on the Purchased link in the Quick Links section in the right-hand column.
See also: HT201272: Download past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud
- Restore (iOS only)
Having backed up your device, and rescued all the media from it that you can, you should now restore the device from the backup that you took earlier to ensure that the device is properly associated with this new library. Right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Restore from Backup...
- Sync
Set up your new preferences for syncing Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Info etc. then click Sync. You may get an erase and sync warning at this point however provided you have recovered all of your content from the device then you can safely proceed. For a device that holds calendar or contact information you should be prompted to restore or merge. Click merge to copy this information into your computer. Your device is now properly associated with your new library and you shouldn't have lost any data.
- Backup your library
For the future you should backup your library to a separate hard drive or network share as restoring a backup is much easier than the process above. The user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy gives a suggested way of doing this effectively for Windows users. Mac owners can make use of Time Machine, or tools such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Synkron which can do a similar job to SyncToy.
Media recovery software
This list is by no means comprehensive. Compatibility and feature details may have altered since this tip was published. There is usually a trade-off between cost and ease of use.

- 85% of Americans say they are "highly anxious" about their retirement prospects.
- 95% of millennials say the current retirement system is "under stress and needs repair."
- 90% of Americans support "a new pension plan that is available to all Americans, is portable from job to job and provides a monthly check throughout retirement for those who contribute."
- 67% of Americans say "it is a mistake to cut government spending in such a way as to reduce Social Security benefits for current retirees."
Vast Majority Wants a U.S. Pension
TheStreet) -- Here's an intriguing concept: Every American should have a pension. Far-fetched? Maybe not.A study shows the vast majority of U.S. adults (especially millennials, the generation of U.S. adults born after 1976) say the current retirement system is in major disrepair and needs an overhaul. To many Americans, a national pension plan is the way to go. Certainly, Americans are anxious yet underachieving toward their own retirements. A recent report out from HSBC (HBC) says Americans will spend 21 years in retirement but have enough only savings to get through 14 years. Thus the relatively quiet but firm push for some sort of national pension plan. According to the Washington, D.C-based National Institute on Retirement Security, 84% of Americans say they are in favor of a pension "for all Americans" and that Congress should act on the problem.

A FEW YEARS AGO IT DAWNED ON ME THAT some of my students thought differently than I did. I mean literally that their thinking process was different. Though able to read and write, they truly came alive when discussing television shows or movies. Their powers of analysis were greater in this arena than in the traditional literary one. From that point on I increasingly sensed that my fate might parallel that of the dinosaurs. Our culture had passed over some great divide, and I was on the other side.
But I was not bereft of tools to engage this new world. Having spent many years of my life studying parables, I recognized that this new age exhibited striking similarities to that bygone era of orality. The tools I have developed as a scholar enable me perhaps to begin a conversation among myself, the ancient biblical texts, and modern American movies. I confess to feeling at times like an anthropologist in a strange village, only now the village is an electronic global one.
My goal for this conversation is both simple and ambitious. I want to begin to lay a foundation for hermeneutics in an electronic age. How will the Christian gospel find expression in this new age? I recognize the irony of writing about something that is essentially visual, but then again I'm a dinosaur. It is easy to recognize that print

Weather Wreaks Havoc In Region
May 10, 2011
By Kari Hawkins, USAG Redstone
Story Highlights
- Emergency support began at 6:30 a.m. on April 27 when the Garrison's Installation Operations Center began operating under full alert.
- The EOC entered its response phase at 5 p.m. as tornadoes touched down in Madison County.
- Hamilton also urged Redstone Arsenal employees to make contact with their supervisors and co-workers.
- Personnel accountability became an increasing issue of concern during the days following April 27.
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala.--Redstone Arsenal's military, employee and retiree base reaches throughout North Alabama and South Tennessee. And so does its concern when those Arsenal community members along with their families and neighborhoods are threatened by devastating disasters.
Concern for the welfare of Arsenal community members as well as for residents throughout the area turned into real-time action in the days following April 27, when numerous tornadoes brought destruction to North Alabama.
"We're very fortunate the Arsenal itself has extremely limited physical damage," said Garrison commander Col. John Hamilton. "There are some trees down and some roofs damaged. But physical damage has very little impact on the Arsenal itself."
Yet, during a Friday overflight of the areas affected by the tornadoes, Arsenal leaders could see "huge patches of destruction from multiple tornadoes all around the Tennessee Valley, all around Redstone Arsenal and all around Huntsville. The city was impacted more on its periphery," he said.
On Redstone, as electrical services came to a halt around 6:30 p.m. April 27, generators were activated immediately to ensure critical services continued, including Arsenal support of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Marshall Space Flight Center's support to the space station and the upcoming space shuttle launch.
"Strategic hubs that are needed to stay up 24/7 have backup generator power," Hamilton said. "But if power is out for an extended period of time (more than a week), there will be an impact on everyday support that goes beyond the critical mission support."
During ensuing days, the Garrison responded to community needs, opening its stores and providing social services to Arsenal-connected families impacted by the tornado or the loss of electricity.
Emergency support actually began at 6:30 a.m. on April 27 when the Garrison's Installation Operations Center began operating under full alert based on weather reports of impending tornadic activity in the area. Daily watch operations in the IOC include the employees of the Garrison's Current Operations Branch, but that team grew as activation of the Installation's Emergency Operations Center involved a Crisis Management Team of Garrison employees across all its directorates.
"Every day, in the IOC, we have daily watch operations ongoing for emergency management," said Tim D'Ambrosia, chief of plans and operations for the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security.
"We are here every day for the assessment of natural and manmade disasters. But, when this system came through, we activated the EOC to be at full operations involving all Garrison emergency services."
D'Ambrosio and the IOC's Current Operations Branch were aware on April 26 that a weather event was expected to occur in North Alabama. On the morning of April 27, the EOC entered the preparation phase to monitor the tornadic activity passing through the area.
The EOC then entered its response phase at 5 p.m. as tornadoes touched down in Madison County and its recovery mode once electrical power went out throughout North Alabama.
On Thursday, the EOC began damage assessments both on- and off-post. Garrison commanders met to assess the situation and to coordinate recovery efforts with local officials. With electrical power out throughout the region, there was no other choice than to close the Arsenal to its work force.
"We closed for mission support and we had very limited ability to provide services on Thursday," Hamilton said.
But the EOC and its growing support staff was on the job.
"Our main objective was power generation, restoring power, first, to basic operations for life and safety, and then to all of Redstone," D'Ambrosio said. "Another objective was to support the local community as much as possible. And the third objective was personnel accountability. Our critical priorities were the installation's command and control centers, and tenant support, and trying to provide support for displaced personnel and retirees."
The EOC also supported Alabama National Guard, activated in support of emergency relief in the area, by providing on-post lodging, and transport equipment.
"We provided equipment to the National Guard so that it could support Huntsville and the surrounding communities," D'Ambrosio said. "We also provided lodging on post for state troopers who were assigned to provide emergency support in the Huntsville area."
The EOC also worked to stand-up an Army Community Service satellite office at the PX/Commissary to provide support to Arsenal families.
Although Redstone was closed to its work force for several days due to the loss of electrical service, its basic services were available beginning on Thursday. The Shoppette was the busiest center of activity due to availability of gasoline, groceries and, on Saturday, generators. The PX/Commissary soon followed suit, opening by the weekend with groceries and supplies.
"While the post is certainly closed to the work force, its basic services are available," Hamilton said during a community press conference Saturday.
"Basic services are here for military, civilian employees, retirees and absolutely anyone who can get access through our gates ... The entire community, state and federal are coming together. We do have support available on the Arsenal. If you've got the credentials, you can get on the Arsenal and get the support you need ... If you need life support services and you are one of our employees or one of our military, you can get support."
During the press conference, Hamilton also urged Redstone Arsenal employees to make contact with their supervisors and co-workers so they can be accounted for by their organization.
Personnel accountability became an increasing issue of concern during the days following April 27. Even though other issues - electricity, basic services, medical facilities and social services - were important, accountability topped the list, said Alvin Odoms, director of the Directorate for Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security.
"Our employees are the most important and we are really struggling with that. We need to have some way of knowing they are OK," he said.
Even though that message was broadcast through the media at the community press conference, 100 percent accountability was not available during the days after April 27. For instance, on Saturday afternoon, only 83 percent - or 3,320 -- of the more than 4,000 employees making up one Arsenal organization were accounted for.
"Everybody is working extremely hard to find out about employees and to provide services," said Garrison deputy commander Curtis Clark. "Most of Team Redstone is participating in providing status of personnel and helping where needed.
"We want to know how we can support folks. We want to know what our employees' status is and where help is needed. We have consolidated all of our housing assets and we can provide those assets to those employees and retirees who have lost their homes or who have homes with damage."
Redstone's role, though, goes beyond its own community, Clark said. The Arsenal is also working to provide support to the entire North Alabama region.
"The bottom line is we are marshaling all of our resources to take some of the stress off Madison County, Huntsville City and Madison City," he said.
With some 75,000 retirees in the North Alabama area, the Arsenal can impact the stress on the community's food and equipment supplies by working to provide those same supplies through its on-post stores.
"We can impact the area. A pretty good percentage of the population has access to the Arsenal. If they come here for what they need (gasoline, food, generators, other equipment), then that leaves more in the community for others," Hamilton said.
"But, depending on where they live and the services provided to them, it may make better sense for our employees and retirees to stay put where they are until this situation ends. The important thing is they get to a place where they can get the services they need."

I have been entertained this past week by a series of posts on trade - but frightened by unenlightened thoughts expressed by a new Congressional leader.
Before looking at at any of these posts, we should look at the REAL trade statistics - and how important exports are to the USA economy. The graph below shows the FRACTION (not percentage) of exports to GDP. Note that exports are a growing and becoming a significant portion of the economy (almost 13% of GDP).
You might be surprised that exports are such a large component of the economy. This is because most analyze the trade deficit - and therefore lose sight of the movements of imports and exports. Now let us read four posts:
International trade is not played on a level playing field. Not only do governments game their exchange rates, but they also game export prices, tax refunds for exports, bribe the potential buyers - and offer government supplied and discounted export financing.
If you are an American company, try to hock your goods without good financing when the guy next to you is bringing the weight of his governments export-import bank (exim) to the table. I have personally gone up against this phenomenon, and the results are not pretty if you do cannot offer exim financing.
Now think about the effect on American business without exim financing. Exim offers discounted loans - something the private sector cannot do. Yes, it is not fair that primary beneficiary of exim is to the big boys in business - but life is not fair, and then you die.
If the USA gives up exim financing - it forces the Boeings of this world to manufacture in countries that will support them in providing export financing. Killing the USA Exim Bank is akin to killing the golden goose. And one final point - export financing (as well as project financing) is a component of foreign policy - not only to stimulate trade but to extend influence. Talk of killing USA Exim financing comes at a time when China is doing the opposite.
Do some politicians have a death wish for the economy?
The Econintersect Economic Index for June 2014 is showing continued growth acceleration. Outside of our economic forecast - we are worried about the consumers' ability to expand consumption because the ratio between income and expenditures is near all time highs. The GDP contraction for 1Q2014 is a paper contraction as GDP is determined by playing games with accounts. No serious element of the economy was in contraction (except government spending) which is already expanding in the 2Q2014.
The ECRI WLI growth index value has been weakly in positive territory for many months - but now in a noticeable improvement trend. The index is indicating the economy six month from today will be slightly better than it is today.

The market was expecting the weekly intial unemployment claims at 305,000 to 315,000 (consensus 310,000) vs the 312,000 reported. The more important (because of the volatility in the weekly reported claims and seasonality errors in adjusting the data) 4 week moving average moved from 312,250 (reported last week as 311,750) to 314,250 .

I really like how this turned out. Well done mate.
Ahoy. The name is Mikom. I do 3D modeling, rendering and just general design. I'm a person who over past few years has taken a great interest in formulating ideas in 3D space. Ideas are my trade in many ways yet I also lean towards the practical. I have worked on several mods and game projects though modeling for games is not my first area of expertise. Here on ModDB/IndieDB I keep an eye on the Humor Satire Parody group, I follow the modding community and watch game productions that have peaked my interest. Feel free to go through my blogs or image gallery if you want to get a glimpse of what I do. As always, have a nice day!
I really like how this turned out. Well done mate.
You have really grown in talent a lot since you first started!
Fantastic render.
So, what can I say? WONDERFUL. The design over all. Render, model texture... all perfect but... THE GRAPHIC DESIGN IS DIVINE.
Hmm… What if this ship was featured in XWA…

The Big Fish Win Again
Investors gobble up rights intended to help the small fry.
What does it take to buy a share of the American ocean?
For Lion Capital, a British private equity firm, the price is less than $980 million. That's what the firm paid three years ago when it bought Bumble Bee Foods, the giant producer of shelf-stable seafood such as canned tuna. The purchase included the Bumble Bee subsidiary Snow's Inc., best known for its creamy white clam chowder. Snow's came with another perk: It owns the exclusive rights to 23 percent of the clams that dominate America's canned clam industry, almost a quarter of the national supply for clam sauce, clam juice, clam soup, anything with clams.
Now, every time you sit down to a bowl of clam chowder in the United States, you're probably padding profits for British investors.
It's a scenario that has advocacy groups worried. "We shouldn't be issuing control of our fisheries and access to our fisheries away from communities and to multinational corporations. It's a no-brainer," says Linda Behnken, the vice chair of the Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust, which works to strengthen fishing communities.
Increasingly, as the Snow's deal illustrates, equity groups and corporations are poised to rule the seas through their investments. And if you eat seafood, then it ought to matter to you.
Over the long term, it means that costs will rise. Fishermen will earn less, their profits halved and quartered by the rental payments they'll have to make to people in suits just to go fishing. Yet consumers will pay more. Investors will be getting rich off of resources that used to belong to you.
Here's how it happens: catch shares. They are a type of fishing management system that became national policy in the United States in 2010 to encourage sustainable fishing. Catch shares accomplish this by capping the amount of fish that can be caught and doling out the rights to fishermen, and sometimes seafood processors and co-ops, to fish them.
Catch shares have some perks. A lot of them, really. They limit the amount of fish that can be caught, allowing depleted populations make a comeback. They reduce the number of boats pillaging the seas and make fishing safer just by thinning competition. Catch shares mean nobody rushes to the sea in a hurricane to get an edge on the next guy. Not only is that good for the ocean, it saves lives. It's also intended to boost values for seafood, a potential windfall for fishermen.
But looked at another way, catch shares basically amount to a privatization scheme. And it's hard to know who's really making bank. Once rights to fish are given away, those rights can be traded like any other commodity.
Catch shares have opened up markets for the sale and lease of access rights to fishing like nothing we have ever seen. The hope from the environmental camp was that these rights would live with fishermen and be passed from one generation to the next, giving them a greater stake in the health of the ocean and making them better stewards. It was a noble and worthwhile vision. It just isn't what's happened, at least not very much. In reality, these rights are worth so much money that rich investors snap them up at top prices, making it tough for people who actually fish to acquire them. Consider the present cost of halibut rights, which in prime fishing areas fetch upward of $40 a pound. That's about six times the best dock price a fishermen can earn for delivering the same fish.
Proponents of this type of management are just beginning to concede the level of consolidation that's really occurring. And they haven't acknowledged the degree of investment speculation that's really going on. They helped create one of the coolest vehicles environmental policy has seen in decades. But it could be driven straight off a cliff.
Policymakers assured the nation that fishing rights would never migrate out of U.S. control through catch shares or end up as properties of investment firms. Environmental groups have similarly touted catch shares as a tool for communities and fishermen and overlooked the role investors can and do play. As the Snow's deal now makes clear, those pacifications are baloney. Federal law does prohibit ownership of fish access for investment purposes. But it's like a prohibition on jaywalking: quaint and rarely enforced. The same goes for foreign acquisition of U.S. fishing rights, which is similarly banned by federal law. But there's a loophole: Firms can acquire American-owned corporations or hang a shingle on American soil and qualify for ownership as long as the CEO of the U.S. corporation is an American, along with most of its board. Such is the case at Snow's, where a majority of the company's board and its CEO are U.S. citizens, even though the company is owned by a British private equity firm.

Are you hosting a party for your employees? Are you concerned about the possibility of excessive drinking and being responsible for the resulting damage and injury? Here's a quick look at your potential liability and what you can do to prevent it.
Unless you sell liquor for a living, your company is unlikely to be responsible for any injury caused by drunk employees under what are called dram shop laws. These laws generally only apply to commercial vendors of alcohol. Examples of vendors include bars, restaurants and package stores.
But there may be liability under social host laws and what are called respondeat superior theories of legal recovery.
Social host liability is based on the concept that, under certain circumstances, a party host serving alcohol should be responsible for the acts of drunk guests. Laws vary widely by state, with some states not imposing any liability at all on social hosts.
Most states impose liability on social hosts where:
- Alcohol is served to a minor
- The host was reckless in serving alcohol or should have recognized the extent of the guest's intoxication and not served him or her more alcohol
Whether or not a host is "reckless" in serving alcohol will always be a factual issue to be decided by a judge or jury. A social host should never serve a minor or encourage guests to drink excessively. And whether or not the social event involves business associates and employees, a social host shouldn't continue to serve guests after they're "visibly intoxicated." The host needs to stop serving when it becomes obvious that they've had too much to drink and their judgment or physical coordination is impaired.
Many states also impose liability specifically where the host is an employer and the event involves a business purpose. While laws vary greatly depending on the state, the employer host generally has a greater duty to the employee guest, due to the nature of the relationship and the perception that an employee may feel obligated to attend an office party more than some other social event.
In some states, the legal theory of respondeat superior also applies. Latin for "let the master answer," an employer is responsible for the negligent acts of the employee when the employee is acting "within the scope of employment." In other words, for the employer to be held liable, the employee must have been acting for the purpose of benefiting the employer and not himself.
Preventive Steps at Employer Events
Although entertaining is often a business necessity, there are many things you can do to lessen the possibility you'll be held responsible for your employee's actions after drinking too much:
- Make attendance at the event optional and avoid discussing business issues. Make sure your employee handbook specifically states that attendance at office social events isn't mandatory
- Make sure no minors are served
- Don't hold events involving alcohol during regular business hours
- If possible, host the event at a restaurant or bar licensed to serve alcohol, where professional waiters can monitor alcohol intake and politely cut off anyone they perceive has had enough to drink
- Another alternative is to provide everything except the liquor, and host a cash bar. That way, employees have purchased the alcohol themselves, and you're less likely to be accused of furnishing the alcohol directly to your employees
- Discourage employees from drinking excessively, and stop serving anyone who appears visibly intoxicated
- One surefire way of regulating how much each employee drinks is to provide employees with drink tickets as the only way to obtain alcohol
- Encourage employees to use designated drivers and provide alternative forms of transportation, such as free taxis
A little preparation and thought beforehand can make your business social event less "eventful" in a negative way, and may even save someone's life.
Questions for Your Attorney
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a holiday party?
- Would an employer be liable if an employee gets in a car accident after leaving an employer event that served alcohol?
- Who's liable if an employee gives alcohol to his child at an employer event for employees and their families?

Since last weekend my feed hasn't been updating anymore.
I first thought it was caused by the update I did on my Quick Cache plugin, but I've disabled that plugin and still nothing.
I've did the feedburner troubleshootize steps, but still nothing.
This really is a problem as I rely on my feed for a lot...
Would appreciate it if someone could help.

Sino-Forest Corp. was asked just days ago to provide proof of ownership for its Chinese timberlands but declined, according to BMO Nesbitt Burns analyst Stephen Atkinson.
Mr. Atkinson cut his rating on Sino-Forest Friday morning to "market perform" after the company was the subject of a report Thursday by another research firm that questioned whether Sino-Forest really owns the trees it says it does. Sino-Forest shares plunged in response.
Mr. Atkinson said that analysts have asked Sino-Forest to prove it has the forests, but were rebuffed.
"At the analysts' presentation after the annual general meeting on May 31, 2011, proof of ownership (Forest Certificates) was requested but the Chairman and CEO, Allan Chan, did not want to release this information for competitive reasons," Mr. Atkinson said in his note.
The BMO analyst didn't give a new target price "pending a better understanding of the company's timber holding" and said that "given the information vacuum regarding the issues raised and the halt in stock trading on the TSX, we have lowered our rating to Market Perform (Speculative)."

I created it from six images taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Canon 24-105mm IS lens. I stitched the images together in Photoshop's Photomerge, and then cut and pasted a rider from my series of pictures into my pano. As a final step, I tweaked the color and contrast for a totally cool effect—all in about 10 minutes.
Below you'll find the process to follow. You can use it for many different types of action photography.
But first, I want to thank one of my Alaska workshop students, Ted Maddux, for giving me the idea. He used this technique for an awesome bald eagle pano, which you can check out on my blog: tinyurl.com/eagle-pano.
1. This screen grab of Adobe Bridgeshows my original six images. Well, almost. I actually converted my RAW files to JPEGs using Photoshop's Image Processor (Bridge > Select All Images > Photoshop > Tools > Image Processor) to speed up my pano processing time. Processing a series of JPEGs is way faster than processing a series of RAW files.
The first step is to get a good panorama. As with all panoramas, you must set your exposure mode to Manual and set the exposure for the brightest part of the scene. If you were to shoot on an automatic mode, your exposure would be different for each exposure, which would result in annoying dark or light bands in the sky.
You also need to set your white balance to the existing lighting conditions such as Sunny, Cloudy, etc. An auto setting might result in different color images.
The next step in getting a good pano is to overlap your pictures by about one-third of the frame. You also need to hold your camera vertically because parts of the top and bottom of the final pano will be cropped out in the stitching process. Finally, try to keep the horizon line as level as possible. A tripod would help, but you can shoot a pano handheld, as illustrated by my motocross pano.
2. After your photo session,it's time to make your pano. In Photoshop, go to File > Automate > Photomerge. Once in Photomerge, select your files as you would select any files on your computer. Leave the Layout set to Auto.
3. In the Photomerge dialog,click OK and wait a bit, and then you'll see your stitched pano. Pure magic! You may see some tiny, vertical, jagged cracks in the image. Don't worry, that's normal. When you flatten the layers, they will disappear. After you flatten the file (Layer > Flatten Image), it's time to crop.
Additionally, you'll notice that in most cases it looks as though all the frames weren't used. That's also normal because Photoshop is more interested in stitching and blending than in using all the parts of all your images.

'Cats tennis wins area tourneyPublished 9:40am Thursday, April 18, 2013
In terms of seeding, the Benjamin Russell Wildcats boys' tennis team started its sectional tournament as the top team in the field.
BRHS finished the same way by winning its sectional tournament this past Tuesday.
"We came together as the season progressed," BRHS boys tennis coach Wes Coleman said. "We set ourselves up with our regular season success to do well in this tournament, and we went out there and took care of business on the court. It was a littler warmer than expected so we had to battle the heat a little bit. We played well."
The Wildcats boys' team — which is made up of Blake Grimes, Matt Brown, Will Sewell, Chris Cunningham, Austin Smith and Joseph Schouten, nearly pulled off a clean sweep of sectional championships.
Grimes, Brown, Sewell, Smith and Schouten each won sectional titles.
In doubles action, Benjamin Russell's three teams (Grimes/Brown, Sewell/Smith and Cunningham/Schouten) each claimed sectional crowns.
BRHS only lost one match during the entire tournament.
"I'm very thrilled that we were able to pull this off," Coleman said.
Coleman added that as a result of the sectional tournament, the boys are likely to have a more manageable road to the Class 5A state championship.
"As sectional champions, this will likely give us a better draw," he said. "We're going to face a team that finished runner-up in its sectional tournament. Hopefully we can take advantage of that draw and win a few matches."
The boys' and girls' Class 5A tennis state championship will be held in Decatur April 22 and 23.

John Masefield was a 20th century English writer and poet, noted for his poem "Sea-Fever" which contains the line: "And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by." This line appeared on the dedication plaques of the USS Defiant.
In 2268, James T. Kirk quotes from "Sea-Fever" to Leonard McCoy. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")
In 2287, Leonard McCoy confused the Masefield for Herman Melville, but was corrected by Spock. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
In 2372, Quark paraphrased Masefield's poem, "Sea-Fever", while aboard his ship Quark's Treasure, saying "all I ask is a tall ship... and a load of contraband to fill her with." (DS9: "Little Green Men")

|BTSYSTEMS, LLC Patent applications
|Patent application number
|BIN TRANSPORTER SYSTEM - A bin transporter system is used for moving bins or trays from the exit end of a security checkpoint conveyor to the entrance end of the conveyor. The system includes one or more support stands and a roller assembly attached to the stands. The roller assembly includes an elongate bin guide and roller conveyors attached to the inside of the bin guide. The roller assembly is held in a longitudinally inclined orientation, for gravity-actuated movement of the bin along the bin guide, as facilitated by the roller conveyors. Additionally, when bins are placed in the bin guide against the roller conveyors for movement along the bin guide, the bins lie at a laterally tilted orientation, either generally horizontally or generally vertically. This prevents the bins from falling out the front of the roller assembly, in cases where the bin guide has an open front portion.

Eddie Bauer XRS at Target or Safety First Easy Fit at BRU. They are basically the same seat but has different covers and extras.
Are you flying with him as a lap baby?
If you are flying it is recommended for your child's safety and the safety of others on the plane that he has his own seat on the plane and uses his carseat. In a plane crash or during bad turbulence you would not be able to hold on to him and he could be injured or killed. The FAA and many, many other groups recommend he has his own seat even though not required. And when he turns 2y in the next 10m he will be required to have his own seat so i would travel with one if not doing so already.

The Guide65 is a great low budget seat. Did you buy him a seat on the plane? If so, good for you, and you should bring his seat on the plane. If not, you should still bring a seat to the gate and see if there are any last minute open seats so that he can use his seat on the plane. Your 22lb baby can quickly become a 200lb projectile in bad turbulence or a minor crash. Does he still fit in his infant seat? If he does, bring that for the plane.

if you didn't get a separate seat for the kid, why will you be taking a carseat along? Just buy it online and have it shipped to gma's house.

Does she have any Target or Walmart locations by her? Both of those stores carry the Safety 1st Guide, although it's called the Eddie Bauer XRS 65 at Target.

He is just so whiny and not wanting bottles even though he eagerly grabs at them because he is hungry.
We have a high deductible insurance, so I hesitate to take him to the dr to rule out an ear infection since he is sleeping through the night and no fever.
Is this REALLY how bad teething can be? I have given Tylenol and teething tablets, but it doesn't seem to help much. I gave a wet wash cloth which he liked, but his hands were so icy after playing with it that I worried about him being too cold
All my others would drool, bite, loose poops, then surprise a tooth. This guy seems to be struggling much more.

Senate President Pro Temp Peter Shumlin and House Speaker Shap Smith are right to question the alleged benefits of allowing Entergy to spin off its Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant (and five others) into a separate holding company called Enexus. On the face of it, the spin-off does little more than free Entergy, a debt-free and profitable company, of future expense while creating a new company — loaded with debt — to shoulder the burden of decommissioning five aging nuclear plants in the not-so-distant future.
Finding the benefit to Vermont in such a deal is perplexing.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Loan Updates
Eliana learned tailoring 5 years ago and has made her living from it ever since. Her income helps to cover household expenses for her, her husband and their two children, 14- and 13-years old, respectively. She worked for a company, at first, and after 4 years, used the experience she gained and the money she saved to start her own tailoring business. She bought a basic sewing machine and set up her own shop. Thanks to the quality of her work, she has a good base of customers now. Eliana is applying for a loan because she has large orders and needs extra funding to meet demand. She will use the loan to buy fabric, thread and other supplies so that she can fill the orders she has.
For the future, Eliana would like to open a larger shop where she can employ some of the many people who need work. She is working hard to grow her business and increase her income.

Eliana estudió confección hace 5 años, y desde entonces se ha dedicado a esta actividad, permitiendo así generar ingresos con los cuales contribuye económicamente en su hogar donde convive con su esposo y sus 2 hijos de 13 y 14 años de edad. Comenzó trabajando en una empresa, y luego de 4 años aprovechó la experiencia adquirida y con unos ahorros compró la maquinaria básica y así montó su propio taller de confección donde ofrece el servicio de confección a terceros, y gracias a la buena calidad de sus productos ha logrado captar una gran cantidad de clientes. Gracias a que tiene grandes pedidos por parte de sus clientes, Eliana busca un préstamo que le permita comprar materia prima como telas, hilos y demás insumos que requiere para responder a los pedidos que le han hecho sus clientes.
Su mayor anhelo es tener un gran taller donde pueda generar empleo para los más necesitados, por esto se esfuerza diariamente para salir adelante y mejorar sus ingresos.
Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano (3 ounces)
- Coarse salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (1 pound total)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
In a shallow dish, combine panko, pecorino, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow dishes. Season pork with salt and pepper. Coat pork in flour, shaking off excess; dip in egg, then coat with panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. In 2 batches, add pork and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; repeat with remaining pork.
