Earnings drop for APN News & Media
Relevant offers
APN News & Media, owner of the New Zealand Herald, has posted a significant annual loss amid declining revenues and written down its New Zealand and Australian publishing assets by A$510m.
The media company - which saw its chairman, chief executive and three other directors resign this week after a disagreement with major shareholders - reported a A$455.8 million ($559.2 million) statutory annual loss for 2012. The company experienced drops in revenue and earnings over the year.
An impairment charge of A$151m, relating to APN's publishing assets in both New Zealand and Australia, followed the A$485m writedown announced in August.
Within that, APN's New Zealand Metro segment which mainly comprises the New Zealand Herald newspaper, took another A$39.6m impairment hit on intangible assets at year end on top of a A$372m writedown in August.
The Herald's segment is now valued on the books at A$132.5m.
Setting aside the exceptional items and impairments, APN's profit still dipped 30 per cent from A$78.2m in 2011 to A$54.4m in 2012.
As for the key issue of APN's debt, over which the board members recently quit, the company reported it had decreased its debt level by A$180m in 2012 to A$449m, and planned to shave another A$40m to A$50m in the 2013 financial year.
"Reducing APN's debt level is an ongoing objective," the company said when announcing the results. It planned to do so by further cost-cutting in its publishing arm as well as some asset and property sales.
The company's statement to the New Zealand and Australian stock exchanges said the 13.4 per cent revenue decline was largely due to the effects of a joint venture with its outdoor advertising business.
Previously APN enjoyed 100 per cent of the profits of APN Outdoor but took an A$8m hit on net profit due to now sharing half of income under the joint venture.
Revenue from APN's New Zealand Media segment dropped 5 per cent while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) fell 23 per cent to A$47.8m.
APN has opted not to issue a dividend.

JAPAN: Coke bottlers form business partnership
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 21 December 2005
Two Japanese Coke bottlers have agreed in principle to form a business partnership which could lead in due course to a full merger, according to local reports.
Under the terms of the partnership arrangement, Kinki Coca-Cola Bottling Co. and Coca-Cola West Japan Co., will collaborate to improve their production systems and streamline distribution, while also working on joint IT systems, Jiji Press said today (21 December).
The two companies said they will review in due course whether a full merger is necessary for further business growth. If a full merger were to follow, it would create the second largest soft drinks bottler in Japan, with total sales of around JPY450bn.
Kinki Coca-Cola is located in Settsu in the Osaka Prefecture. An affiliate of Kirin Brewery Co., Kinki recorded sales of JPY193bn in the year to December 2004. Coca-Cola West Japan Co. is based in Fukuoka and is partly owned by Ricoh Co. It generated sales of JPY253.2bn in 2004.

Renewed Effort to Save SS United States
As momentum builds for the effort to save and repurpose the greatest American ocean liner ever built, the SS United States Redevelopment Project (SSUSRP) announced that it has named New Canaan Advisors LLC (NCA) as real estate advisors to a growing team leading this exciting redevelopment program. New Canaan Advisors will assist the SSUSRP on a number of aspects related to transforming the historic ship into a stationary, multi-purpose waterfront destination. The SS United States, which will celebrate the 60th anniversary of its maiden voyage this year, remains the largest passenger vessel ever constructed in the United States. At nearly 1,000 feet long, she remains the fastest ocean liner to cross the North Atlantic and one of the last surviving of the great 20th Century liners. "We believe that New Canaan Advisors is the right firm to help us translate our vision for the future of the SS United States into a reality," said Dan McSweeney, Managing Director of the SS United States Redevelopment Project. "They have the unique experience of handling both high-profile projects and historic properties, making them a great asset for our team." The overall concept is currently to invite a mixed-use commercial and public development with a range of proposed revenue-generating uses including, but not limited to, event space, restaurants, retail, and hotel.

While thoughts immediately turned to terrorism, reports indicate that the explosion eminated from one of Norway's four boilers. The explosion and its aftermath is sure to put the spotlight on older ships and their maintenance habits, though it is far too early to predict any tangible changes.
SS United States: Leading Lady to Damsel in Distress
Once queen of the express liners, and the fastest, safest and biggest passenger liner in history, the SS United States today quietly awaits rescue from a pending cruise to the scrapyard. The Big Ship the Big U, the one that didn't sink. The S.S. United States, still the fastest passenger liner ever and enduring symbol for many of American post-war industrial might and ingenuity, is today more aptly called "the Lady in Waiting."
Vedder Price Helps to Save the 'Big U'
Last October, America's Flagship, the SS United States, was on the brink of being sold for scrap metal because the SS United States Conservancy, the national nonprofit historic preservation organization that owns the iconic vessel, was running short on funds to cover the ship's expenses. However, thanks to the pro bono counsel from Vedder Price shareholder, Francis X. Nolan III, and other firms and individuals, the iconic ocean liner has been given a second life.

Title: Drought tolerant ground cover for Midlothian, TX
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:I'm looking for a fast, low ground cover. That is drought tolerant for a large slope.
You didn't mention how large a "large slope" is so we'll start big and scale down from there. We have three articles on our "How To" page that deal with large scale plantings of native plants. This might be more than you had in mind, but there is some good information that you may find useful.
The first article, Recreating a Prairie gives the ends and outs of prairie restoration that is going on around the state.
The second article, Meadow Gardening describes the procedures for establishing a wildflower meadow in an open, sunny, well-drained area.
The third article, Getting Started gives tips for organizing such daunting undertakings.
For help with plant selection, go to our Native Plant Database, and use the Combination Search option. Select Texas under State, grass/grass-like under General Appearance, and perennial under Lifespan. Check sun under Light Requirement, dry under Soil Moisture, and 0-1" under Height. Click the Submit Combination Search button and you get 14 species that meet these criteria. Repeat the search, and check 1-3' under Height and your list increases to 24. Clicking on the scientific name of each species will bring up its NPIN page that contains the characteristics of the plant, its growth requirements and, in most cases, photos. As you go through the list, look for plants that match your growing conditions.
Repeat the search one more time, and select herb under General Appearance and 0-1' under Height, leaving your other choices the same. Click the Submit combination Search button and you will get a list of 46 species of flowering plants that can add some color to your slope.
Native American Seed has a number of different seed mixes that can be used in the situation you describe. You can find other seed sources by consulting our National Suppliers Directory.
Another place where you can get help is the Ellis County office of Texas AgriLife Extension.

Mark Basseley Youssef is the man behind the film 'Innocence of Muslims', an Islamophobic film which sparked world wide protests and violence, leaving some dead in Libya and Egypt (NBC), as well as causing demonstrations in every single continent besides Antarctica- and that's only because no one lives there. He has now been sentenced to a year in jail due to his dealings with the film, but almost nothing to do with the major offence and hurt he has caused.
Youssef was sentenced to a 21 month stint in jail for fraud back in 2010. It is due to this previous conviction that Youssef has been jailed again, as a number of his dealings and choices in relation to 'Innocence of Muslims' mean that he has broken his probation. Firstly, Youssef had been using multiple names including Sam Bacile and Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, which is the name under which the film's trailers were posted on YouTube originally. This is a serious problem regarding his probation, because as Assistant U.S. Atty. Robert Dugdale says, "This is not a defendant that you want out there using multiple names." LA Times reports Youssef's three identities were found in three places: one on his passport, a different one on his driving licence and a third in connection with the film. For a convicted fraudster, it's all very suspicious.
Despite the enormous waves of violence that have erupted in response to the film, none of this has been addressed in regard to the legal proceedings for Mr Yousseff. Although his jail time will come as a small token of justice, for the families and friends of those who have lost their lives in the violence that ensued in relation to the film, this will simply not be enough.

Former Angels' Strike Force member dies
Heather Beyer, a former member of the Angels' Strike Force spirit squad and a popular former Orange County high school cheerleading coach, died of breast cancer on Saturday afternoon at her home in Aliso Viejo. She was 27.
Born on Jan. 27, 1984, in Garden Grove, Heather Faith Hoefnagels grew up in Orange County and attended Serrano Intermediate School in Lake Forest, where she joined the drill team. A sports fan who loved sharing her energy, school pride and optimism with a crowd, she became a cheerleader at Woodbridge High in Irvine and continued to cheer competitively with the Magic All-Stars after her 2002 graduation.
"Athletic, confident, strong-willed, but always generous of heart" is how Breean Carter described Hoefnagels, whom she hired to join the cheerleading coaching staff at Newport Harbor High from 2004 to 2008.
While coaching, Hoefnagels attended Saddleback College (2002-05) and Long Beach State (2005-07), where she earned a degree in journalism. Also in 2007, the longtime Angels fan from a baseball-playing family made the Strike Force, which entertains Angel Stadium fans during games and famously launches T-shirts into the stands.
In November 2008, she married Nate Beyer. They had gottten engaged at Disneyland. At their wedding were nine cheerleaders serving as her bridesmaids. Beyer also began coaching at Tesoro High in 2009.
In February 2010, six months after doctors told her not to worry about a lump she found in her breast, Beyer was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. The Angels baseball family and the Orange County cheerleading community rallied to support her fight against the rare, aggressive form of cancer that ultimately overcame her.
Having left the hospital on April 15 for hospice care, Beyer made good on her vow to enjoy her final weeks to the fullest, spending her last days surrounded by family and friends, getting "Hallelujah" tattooed on her wrist and attending an Angels game – a victory – on Monday with her loved ones.
She is survived by her husband, Nate, a deputy with the Orange County Sheriff's Department; her parents, Marc and Kari Hoefnagels and Margaret and Bill Thompson; and nine brothers and sisters.
Funeral arrangements are pending. Friends of Beyer have been raising American Cancer Society's Relay for Life contributions in her honor.

He has the kind of impact that makes presidential candidates like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump take notice. Now, Brooklyn, New York megachurch pastor A.R. Bernard wants to use his influence and knowledge to help men and women foster better romantic relationships.
In his new book Four Things Women Want From a Man, A.R. Bernard is pulling out all of the stops to share knowledge that he has acquired from over three decades of counseling couples. By focusing on maturity, decisiveness, consistency and strength, Bernard may have unearthed keys to improving marriages, the dating world and self worth in the lives of singles.
However, the concepts in his latest work did not form overnight. The preacher, who has been traveling to speak at conferences since 1989, recalled one meeting where he told attendees about a secret concerning what women want. more >>
The next chapter of the manga series "One Piece" is coming in a few days, and fan forums are already abuzz with rumors and predictions about what will happen in the next chapter. The previous chapters of the series showed what looked like the destruction of the Revolutionary Army after its battle with the Blackbeard Pirates.
One prediction according to a report in BreatheCast is that the Army's destruction was staged and was in fact a collision between the Dragon and Blackbeard. They did this so that the World Government will no longer go after them, thinking that both groups were annihilated. According to BitBag, the chapter may also feature a flashback which reveals what Dragon's plan was and why he decided to burn down his base.
Another prediction related to the first is one that says that the leader of Army, Dragon, will be making an appearance in the next chapter, according to a report in Ecumenical News. It also said that Dragon may have had a hand in the destruction of Baltigo. more >>

RATINGS: 1112 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.98/5 SEASONAL: Autumn EST. CALORIES: 330 ABV: 11%
brewed for the harvest This beer begins in spring when oat seeds are sown as soon as the soil can be worked. Meanwhile, select types of barley are planted with hopes that Mother Nature will be kind. Our brewers wait patiently until the legumes are mature and ready for the scythe. Upon delivery to the brewery, these ingredients are mixed together in the mash tun where they steep, creating a rich molasses-like liquid. Spicy hops are boiled with the thick brew, giving balance and complexity. Brewers yeast feasts upon the rich sugars, concluding its transformation into oatmeal stout. Pour Oat into a snifter, allow its thick tan head to slowly rise, releasing unbridled aromas. The color of Oat is as dark as a moonless night. The first sip reveals Oats thick and nourishing taste. Like a haversack to a horse, a bottle of this stout is a meal in itself. Enjoy responsibly. 11.0% abv 238º L

Bookshelf: The guys over at Cool Hunting take us on a tour of their bookshelf
You don't often get a personal look into the brains behind a famous online publication, but this is your lucky day. First a royal baby, and now this! Cool Hunting is a blog that's pretty dominant in the art and design world. They seem to cover pretty much everything that's cool, be it bikes, shops, design, illustration, art, films, food, booze…I could go on. So what better people to ask to recommend us some ultra-cool books than the people that make the website happen?! Picking one publication each (well, in Evan's case, two) to tell you about, here are the Kings of Recommendation, The Content Excavators, the Cool Hunting staff…
John Pawson: A Visual Inventory. Josh Rubin's Pick.
A selection from the over 250,000 images Pawson has amassed through his design research, the book is a masterpiece unto itself. His attention to detail and ability to filter down to the essentials is inspiring. The fact that he has published the by-product of his work as an architect is something I can relate to as Cool Hunting was originally a by-product of my digital design work.
Peggy Treadwell: Working Couple's Cookbook. Evan Orensten's pick.
I love this 1971 cookbook for its awesome illustrations by the now famous commercial artist Romero Britto, and for its simple but very unique premise – recipes that two people can cook together.
Edward Gorey: Amphigorey. Evan Orensten's pick.
This compilation includes fifteen of Edward Gorey's illustrated works. Though I have most of the books, I love having all of them in one book that I can reference and enjoy.
Danish Porn. Greg Stefano's Pick.
While my first inclination was to choose Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End or Rudy Rucker's Wetware due to my lifelong sci-fi and cyberpunk obsession, Danish Porn jumped to the top of the list. Written by the same gentleman who put together Danish Tattooing, Danish Porn chronicles the rich and dynamic history of the pornography industry in Denmark from nude postcards traded in the shadows during the 1800s to more contemporary lewd acts. This book has been sitting on my desk for over a year and whenever I have some down time I flip through the pages to explore a different era of Scandinavian eroticism. Well researched and extremely comprehensive, the book provides some fascinating insight into the evolution of pornography with plenty of supporting imagery.
Victore or, Who Died and Made You Boss? Graham Hiemstra's pick.
Above all else, I appreciate graphic designer James Victore for the sheer size of his balls. Victore is outspoken and to the point, and really good at what he does. Because of this, much, if not all of his work is influenced by personal experience and more than a bit of passion, giving his work a certain strength few others are able to achieve. Plus I dig that he signs his illustrations like an artist would.
This book takes a career-wide look at some 48 of his more renowned projects and their often emotionally charged backstories, offering a rare look inside the mind of the man himself. And even if you can't read, his unique illustration style is more than enough entertainment in itself.
Paul Fusco: RFK Funeral Train (signed edition) Karen Day's pick.
When I saw one of the photos from Paul Fusco's RFK Funeral Train series enlarged and on display at Pulse Fair in Miami a few years ago, I couldn't stop staring at it. A visibly poor family is lined up along the tracks, and all five of the shirtless children are standing at attention and look as though, while they likely didn't understand the politics at that age, they could understand that the passing of Robert F. Kennedy was a huge loss for the nation. There's so much emotion present in these images, and together you not only get a genuine glimpse at the times, but you can really see that no matter the color of their skin, religious pursuits or yearly income, Kennedy's assassination affected everyone, and they were eager to salute and show their respects as his coffin traveled from New York to Washington, DC on that hot summer day. To me, this is an extremely honest portrait of America in 1968.

Keep your eyes on Avid
6-3-16: FBR's Thomas Yip reiterated an Outperform rating on shares of PPHM (PT=$1.00), after the drug maker reported a preliminary financial update of the company and its wholly owned bio-manufacturing subsidiary, Avid Bioservices [ http://tinyurl.com/zvmhqmr ]. Yip stated, "This financial update reaffirmed our belief that Avid will continue its organic growth, and we continue to think that Avid will remain a valuable source of non-dilutive cash flow for Peregrine as the company continues to explore opportunities to develop its lead asset, bavituximab, as a treatment combination with immuno-oncology agents. We also think Peregrine would not require addl. financing in the near term, as it reported a pro forma cash balance of $61mm as of April 30."
= = = = = =
6-2-16/PR: Corp.Update – Avid Expansion & Drug Development - Avid revs for FY16(fye 4-30-16) will be $44mm; since $25.6mm for 1st 3 qtrs, Q4 revs will be ~$18.4mm. Avid B/L currently $56M; guidance for FY17(fye 4-30-17) is $50-55mm. Avid II (Myford) is currently ramping up for runs for "3 current clients". Peregrine is "in the process of designing a 3rd mfg. Facility focused on clinical manufacturing"; has already secured a 25,000sf location, and "expects the new clinical suite to be complete & ready for clinical mfg. by 1H/2017." ...All this leads to Peregrine expecting, "future sustainable profitability for the company in 24 months".
I think we break below $2 in the next few days and then the ascent resumes. Shorts are licking their chops and you can bet the syndicates are planning a hellacious short attack. I'm not trying to bash the stock. I sold for a 400% gain in about a week this morning and will buy back in with both feet once the inevitable short attack gives it a 50% haircut. It may be quick and only those sitting in front of their screens will catch the bottom.
Biofuel use for all Sea-Tac flights to reduce carbon emissions and support aviation biofuel development in Pacific Northwest
SEATTLE, DEC. 16, 2015 – The Port of Seattle, Alaska Airlines [NYSE:ALK] and Boeing [NYSE:BA] are partnering to move toward a significant environmental goal: powering all flights by all airlines at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with sustainable aviation biofuel. Sea-Tac is the first U.S. airport to lay out a long-term roadmap to incorporate aviation biofuel into its infrastructure in a cost-effective, efficient manner.
At the Sea-Tac fuel farm today, executives for the port, Alaska Airlines, and Boeing signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to launch a $250,000 Biofuel Infrastructure Feasibility Study that will assess costs and infrastructure necessary to deliver a blend of aviation biofuel and conventional jet fuel to aircraft at Sea-Tac, a crucial step toward routine biofuel use in the future.
"As leaders in aviation biofuels, this will send a signal to airlines and biofuel producers that Sea-Tac Airport will be ready to integrate commercial-scale use of aviation biofuels," said Port of Seattle Commissioner John Creighton. "Biofuel infrastructure will make Sea-Tac Airport an attractive option for any airline committing to use biofuel, and will assist in attracting biofuel producers to the region as part of a longer-term market development strategy."
The partners' longer-term plan is to incorporate significant quantities of biofuel into Sea-Tac's fuel infrastructure, which is used by all 26 airlines and more than 380,000 flights annually at the airport. Sea-Tac is the 13th busiest airport in the U.S. and will serve over 42 million domestic and international passengers this year.
Joe Sprague, senior vice president of communications and external relations for Alaska Airlines, Sea-Tac's largest carrier and leader of the airport's fueling consortium, said the airline wants to incorporate biofuel into flight operations at one or more of its hubs by 2020, with Sea-Tac as a first choice for the Seattle-based airline.
"Biofuel offers the greatest way to further reduce our emissions," said Sprague. "This study is a critical step in advancing our environmental goals and stimulating aviation biofuel production in the Pacific Northwest."
The Port of Seattle will manage the $250,000 study as the biofuel roadmapping process and, as Sea-Tac Airport's governing authority, would handle the engineering and integration of biofuel infrastructure on Port property such as the airport's fuel farm. An RFP for the infrastructure study will be issued in the spring of 2016, and the study is expected to be completed by late 2016. Currently, aviation biofuels are not produced in Washington state and must be imported by truck, rail or barge.
Boeing, which partners globally to develop and commercialize sustainable aviation biofuel, is providing expertise about approaches to develop a regional biofuel supply chain to serve the airport, including fuel types, fuel producers, processing technologies and integration with airplanes.
"Sustainable aviation biofuel will play a critical role in reducing aviation's carbon emissions over the long term," said Sheila Remes, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president of Strategy. "Boeing, Washington state's largest employer, is proud to work with our customer Alaska Airlines and the Port of Seattle to power every plane at Sea-Tac with a biofuel blend and lead the way for other airports to do the same."
Approved "drop-in" aviation biofuel is blended directly with regular petroleum-based jet fuel and used in airplanes without any changes to the aircraft or engines. Using sustainably produced biofuel reduces lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions by 50 to 80 percent compared to conventional petroleum fuel, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Since 2011, when biofuel was approved for commercial aviation, airlines have conducted more than 2,000 passenger flights with a blend of biofuel and conventional petroleum jet fuel.
The Port's Century Agenda Goal is to reduce aircraft-related carbon emissions at Sea-Tac Airport by 25% by 2037. The key strategy to reduce these emissions is through aviation biofuel. Historically, the Port has been a leader in supporting research and development of aviation biofuels, and as models of other international airports and airlines using biofuel emerge, Sea-Tac is also developing a market-support role.
In the past five years, Alaska Airlines has become a leader in the pursuit of finding a sustainable supply of biofuels. In 2011, Alaska was the first airline to fly multiple flights using a 20 percent blend of sustainable aviation biofuel made from used cooking oil and waste animal fat.
In the next year, Alaska will partner with Gevo, Inc. to fly the first ever commercial flight on alcohol-to-jet fuel. In addition, as a partner in the Washington State University-led Northwest Advanced Renewable Alliance (NARA), Alaska plans to fly a demonstration flight next year using a new aviation biofuel made from forest-industry waste. Fuel for both demonstration flights must first be independently certified.
As part of Boeing's commitment to protect the environment and support long-term sustainable growth for commercial aviation, the company partners globally with airlines, governments, research institutions, fuel companies and others to develop sustainable aviation biofuel. Boeing has active biofuel projects in the U.S., Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, the Middle East, South Africa and Southeast Asia
Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) shares traded 50.45% during the most recent session. Wall Street analysts covering the stock are projecting that the stock will reach $3.00 within the next 52-weeks. The mean target projections are based on 2 opinions, the mean target was last revised on 05/13/16. Since analyst price targets calculations are subjective, there often can be a wide range of targets from various analysts.
Taking a broader look brokerage firms' analysts on the street with an expectant view have high price target of $5.00 and with a conservative view have low price target of $1.00 with a standard deviation of $2.83. Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. If seeing target price from optimistic overview then it has a 729 percent upside potential from the latest closing price of $0.603. This is the consensus price target based on the analysts polled by Thomson Reuters' First Call, the average is taken from the individual analysts which provided targets and are short term projections for the 12 months.
In terms of Buy, Sell or Hold recommendations, Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) has an analyst's mean recommendation of 2.50. This is according to a simplified 1 to 5 scale where 1 represents a Strong Buy and 5 a Strong Sell.
In order to reach at price target analysts use several metrics to determine where stock might be headed, among commonly used metrics is PEG. The PEG ratio is used to determine a stock's value while taking the company's earnings growth into account, and is considered to provide a more complete picture than the P/E ratio. While a high P/E ratio may make a stock look like a good buy, factoring in the company's growth rate to get the stock's PEG ratio can tell a different story. The lower the PEG ratio, the more the stock may be undervalued given its earnings performance. The stock has a current PEG of -0.02 where as its P/E ratio is -0.56. S&P 500 has rallied 0.33% during the last 52- weeks.
While considering growth estimates of the company, it has next quarter growth estimates of 33.30% whereas during current quarter it has 75.50% estimations over growth, comparing to the estimations of 55.00% during current year and 31.50% for next year. Past 5 years growth of Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) observed at 0.00%, looking forward for the next 5 years it has a strong prediction of 25.00% over growth.
Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO)'s revenue estimates for the current quarter are $9.80 million according to 2 number of analysts, for the current quarter the company has high revenue estimates of $10.20 million in contradiction of low revenue estimates of $9.40 million. For the current year the company's revenue estimates are $37.50 million compared to low analyst estimates of $36.80 billion and high estimates of $38.20 billion according 2 number of analysts.
Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) on June 7, 2016 announced that the first two commercial flights using Gevo's renewable alcohol to jet fuel (ATJ) took place on June 7, 2016 originated in Seattle and flying to San Francisco International Airport1 and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport2.
The event marks a successful step toward new fuels that help airlines to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Gevo's alcohol to jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene (ATJ-SPK) process turns its bio-based isobutanol into jet fuel that meets the requirements of the recently revised ASTM D7566 (Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons) for up to a 30 percent fuel blend. The two Alaska Airlines flights on June 7, 2016 utilized a 20 percent fuel blend.
When compared to other fuel options, Gevo believes that its renewable ATJ has the potential to offer the most optimized operating cost, capital cost, feedstock availability, scalability, and translation across geographies.
These two commercial flights represent an important advance in biofuels for an industry that contributes about 2 percent of the total GHG emissions worldwide, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization, a United Nations agency. The agency also expects growth in air travel worldwide will result in double the number of passengers and flights by 2030. These additional flights will dramatically increase jet fuel consumption and GHG emissions.
close around $3 would be perfect. If it runs too fast the shorts will run it back down.
ran down to .82 now at .87. Today should be a wild ride. Shorts have to cover at some point and there is limited downside risk from here.
this has been happening a lot lately. Out of thousands of publicly traded companies- why so much high profile visibility for little ole MGT? This is bizarre but I like it.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve detected more than 50 cyber breaches between 2011 and 2015, with several incidents described internally as "espionage," according to Fed records.
The central bank's staff suspected hackers or spies in many of the incidents, the records show. The Fed's computer systems play a critical role in global banking and hold confidential information on discussions about monetary policy that drives financial markets.
The cybersecurity reports, obtained by Reuters through a Freedom of Information Act request, were heavily redacted by Fed officials to keep secret the central bank's security procedures.
The Fed declined to comment, and the redacted records do not say who hacked the bank's systems or whether they accessed sensitive information or stole money.
"Hacking is a major threat to the stability of the financial system. This data shows why," said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. Lewis reviewed the files at the request of Reuters.
For a graphic on the Fed security breaches, see: http://tmsnrt.rs/1TxSu8R
The records represent only a slice of all cyber attacks on the Fed because they include only cases involving the Washington-based Board of Governors, a federal agency that is subject to public records laws. Reuters did not have access to reports by local cybersecurity teams at the central bank's 12 privately owned regional branches.
The disclosure of breaches at the Fed comes at a time when cybersecurity at central banks worldwide is under scrutiny after hackers stole $81 million from a Bank Bangladesh account at the New York Fed.
Cyber thieves have targeted large financial institutions around the world, including America's largest bank JPMorgan, as well as smaller players like Ecuador's Banco del Austro and Vietnam's Tien Phong Bank.
Hacking attempts were cited in 140 of the 310 reports provided by the Fed's board. In some reports, the incidents were not classified in any way.
In eight information breaches between 2011 and 2013 - a time when the Fed's trading desk was buying massive amounts of bonds - Fed staff wrote that the cases involved "malicious code," referring to software used by hackers.
Four hacking incidents in 2012 were considered acts of "espionage," according to the records. Information was disclosed in at least two of those incidents, according to the records. In the other two incidents, the records did not indicate whether there was a breach.
In all, the Fed's national team of cybersecurity experts, which operates mostly out of New Jersey, identified 51 cases of "information disclosure" involving the Fed's board. Separate reports showed a local team at the board registered four such incidents.
The cases of information disclosure can refer to a range of ways unauthorized people see Fed information, from hacking attacks to Fed emails sent to the wrong recipients, according to two former Fed cybersecurity staffers who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The former employees said that cyber attacks on the Fed are about as common as at other large financial institutions.
It was unclear if the espionage incidents involved foreign governments, as has been suspected in some hacks of federal agencies. Beginning in 2014, for instance, hackers stole more than 21 million background check records from the federal Office of Personnel Management, and U.S. officials attributed the breach to the Chinese government, an accusation denied by Beijing.
Security analysts said foreign governments could stand to gain from inside Fed information. China and Russia, for instance, are major players in the $13.8 trillion federal debt market where Fed policy plays a big role in setting interest rates.
"Obviously that makes it a very clear (hacking) target for other nation states," said Ari Schwartz, a former top cybersecurity adviser at the White House who is now with the law firm Venable.
U.S. prosecutors in March accused hackers associated with Iran's government of attacking dozens of U.S. banks.
In the records obtained by Reuters, espionage might also refer to spying by private companies, or even individuals such British activist Lauri Love, who is accused of infiltrating a server at a regional Fed branch in October 2012. Love stole names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of Fed computer system users, according to a federal indictment.
The redacted reports obtained by Reuters do not mention Love or any other hacker by name.
The records point to breaches during a sensitive period for the Fed, which was ramping up aid for the struggling U.S. economy by buying massive quantities of U.S. government debt and mortgage-backed securities.
In 2010 and 2011, the Fed went on a $600 billion bond-buying spree that lowered interest rates and made bonds more expensive. It restarted purchases in September 2012 and expanded them up in December of that year.
The Fed cybersecurity records did not indicate whether hackers accessed sensitive information on the timing or amounts of bond purchases or used it for financial gain.
The Fed's national cybersecurity team - the National Incident Response Team, or NIRT - created 263 of the incident reports obtained by Reuters.
NIRT operates in a fortress-like building in East Rutherford, New Jersey that also processes millions of dollars in cash everyday as part of the central bank's duty to keep the financial system running, according to the New York Fed's website. The unit provides support to the local cybersecurity teams at the Fed's Board and regional banks, which process more than $3 trillion in payments every day.
The NIRT handles "higher impact" cases, according to a 2013 report by the Board of Governor's Office of Inspector General.
One of the two former NIRT employees interviewed by Reuters described being on a team that once worked around the clock for five-straight days to patch software hackers had used to gain access to Fed systems in an attempt to obtain passwords. The former employee worked through several of those nights, taking naps at a desk in the office.
In that case, Fed security staff found no signs that sensitive information had been disclosed, the former employee said. Information about future interest rate policy discussions is isolated from other Fed networks and is more difficult for hackers to access, the former NIRT worker said.
But the Fed was under constant assault, much like any large company, the former employee said, and was "compromised frequently."
An internal watchdog has criticized the central bank for cybersecurity shortcomings. A 2015 audit by the Fed board's Office of Inspector General found the board was not adequately scanning databases for vulnerabilities or putting enough restrictions on system access.
"There is heightened risk of unauthorized disclosure and inappropriate use of sensitive board information," according to the audit released in November.

Will Schuester and Emma Pillsbury FINALLY say 'I Do' as Glee's fourth season ends in a wedding at McKinley High
They've had something of a rocky ride. But it was a happy ending for Will and Emma as they tied the knot on the season finale of Glee.
With everyone on a high after the New Directions singing stars triumphed in their regional competition, the pair threw a surprise intimate wedding ceremony.
And with their students looking on and rose petals on the floor, the pair said 'I do' in the place where it all began – William McKinley High School.
A long time coming: Sparks flew between Mr. Schuester and Emma Pillsbury starting in season one, and they finally tied the knot at the end of season four Thursday night
Emma, played by Jayma Mays, walked down the makeshift 'aisle' with the school pupils humming Here Comes the Bride before reading her touching vows to Will.
Wearing a simple white dress and clutching a matching bouquet, the OCD sufferer fondly recalled a day when her groom scraped gum off her shoe with a credit card.
'Whenever things in my head get all gooey and sticky and messy and I can't get them out, you always come along and you make me feel clean, and you make me feel whole again,' she said.
'Just as I know the sky is blue, I know that you and I are meant to be together. You are my hero, you are my one true love, you are my inspiration.'
Here comes the bride! Emma, played by Jayma Mays, wore a simple slim white dress and her hair down and straight for their reception in the choir room
You may kiss the bride: The students cheered on as they watched the couple embrace after officially becoming man and wife
Will, played by Glee favourite Matthew Morrison, told her: 'I remember I noticed everything about you.
You only get one true love of your life and you are mine Emma.'
As they were pronounced man and wife, cameras cut to Blaine (Darren Kriss) clutching a ring shaped box, leaving viewers wondering if he will ever propose to Chris Colfer's character Kurt.
Blaine had earlier been seen shopping for rings and getting advice from an elderly female jeweller – who ended up proposing to her girlfriend of 30 years.
But perhaps the most shocking news of the season finale episode was the revelation that the father of Sue Sylvester's baby is none other than crooner Michael Bolton.
Loving vows! Emma said: 'Whenever things in my head get all gooey and sticky and messy and I can't get them out, you always come along and you make me feel clean, and you make me feel whole again'
Mr. Schu's vows: 'I remember I noticed everything about you. You only get one true love of your life and you are mine Emma'
Pressed for an answer by Brittany Pierce, Sue (Jane Lynch) confessed: 'Michael Bolton and I met in 1994 in Los Angeles when I punctured his windpipe with a letter opener at Kate Mantilini's, where he was having lunch and I just happened to be doing my taxes.
'He choked after inhaling a chunk of his own hair and I saved his life. He's owed me a favour ever since. And, in case you're wondering, Michael Bolton is a fantastic lover. We did it all night will. We did it every which way.'
Brittany, played by Heather Morris, had bittersweet news as she won an early college place at M.I.T – meaning she will have to leave McKinley High.
Despite scoring a zero on her entrance test, she wowed the professors with a string of scribbles on her test paper which turned out to be a quantum mechanics code.
After throwing a diva strop in the Glee club, quitting the cheerleading team, burning her uniform and breaking up with Sam (Chord Overstreet), Brittany finally revealed to her fellow students that the college news had sparked her crazy behaviour.
But what about Blaine? He was seen shopping for rings earlier in the episode but hadn't proposed to his boyfriend Kurt by the end of the finale
'I got offered early admission to MIT. I never thought that I would graduate high school, let alone go to college, so I have to jump on this offer before it gets taken away,' she announced in a tearful speech.
'They want me to leave immediately, which is why I had that meltdown.
'My entire life people have always told me I was stupid, and after I while I started to believe them.
'It wasn't until I walked in this room and I joined this club that I really started believing in myself.'
It seems New Directions might have to cope in the nationals without Brittany, after winning the regional competition.
The group performed 'Hall of Fame' by the Script and 'I Love It' by Icona Pop to beat their competitors, with American Idol contestant Jessica guest starring in one of their rival teams.
Bridal party: The boys wore matching suits with purple ties and the girls wore variations of a silk, violet dress
There were unhappier scenes, however, as Ryder (Blake Jenner) learned the identity of his catfish.
Wade 'Unique' Adams finally (Alex Newell) finally confessed that he was behind the texts after pal Marley (Melissa Benoist) tried to cover for him.
'I don't want to lose what we have,' Unique said. But Ryder coldly replied: 'We don't have anything.'
'I'm not going to punch you in the face but I'm also not going to talk to you ever again,' he added, before telling Will he was quitting the Glee club.
Viewers will have to wait until next season to learn whether Rachel (Lea Michele) has won a place in stage show Funny Girl.
The producers gave no clue as to their decision after she performed 'To Love You More' by Celine Dion at her final callback.
For next season: The series left Blaine's engagement plot line and Rachel Berry's Funny Girl final call back up in the air

Filed last week in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of inventor Henry Milan by Detroit-based law firm Butzel Long, it claims that Apple violated a hardware-based patent in its connecting mechanism in the two different media players. The firm argues a violation of U.S. patent No. 6,991,483, which was filed on Nov, 12, 2004, and issued on Jan. 31, 2006, almost five months after launched the iPod nano and six weeks after Apple was contacted about alleged infringement.

Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day.

Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE
French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July

Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu

Sitting down with Greg Miller
"Sometimes we text, but I always prefer to talk face-to-face or at least voice-to-voice," Miller said. He also makes an effort to have lunch with them weekly if their schedules permit, he said.
Everyone getting together and spending quality time, as a family, is also very important, he said.
Miller, who enjoys adventure travel and collecting Land Cruisers, spent time this past year with his youngest son and some friends on an expedition trekking across Antarctica, having previously visited five other continents. In September 2012, Miller and his team successfully circumnavigated the northern hemisphere, driving approximately 18,000 miles across North America, Europe and Asia.
"The goal is to drive the same vehicle on all seven continents," he explained. He is looking forward to completing this journey in early spring of 2014 in South America, he said.
Miller often describes the good fortune that has occurred in his life and has befallen his family in their business prosperity as "blessings." He attributes it to the positive role faith has played in his life and the heavenly guidance he receives in leading the business.
"Divine intervention is a huge part of how this organization is run," Miller explained. "We have what we have in large part because God wanted to give it to us or at least make us stewards over it."
He said one of the lessons he has learned over the past five years is that the organization is a great resource that will likely outlive all of those who lead it today. He also said that he takes seriously his responsibility to mentor those next-generation family members who will run the business when he retires one day.
"Properly managed with wise stewardship, this organization can continue for a long, long time into the future," Miller said.

The Oakland Athletics have just traded one of the best all-around players that played on the 2013 Beloit Snappers. They have traded outfielder/utility infielder John Wooten to the Washington Nationals for LHP Fernando Abad. Wooten was drafted in the 37th round (1129th overall) in 2012 by the Oakland Athletics out of East Carolina University.
Wooten greatly contributed to the Beloit Snappers' first half Midwest League championship team that ended up going 77-62. The Snappers ended up losing in the Midwest League semifinals to the eventual champions, the Quad Cities River Bandits (Houston Astros affiliate). This past season Wooten batted .257 with 20 homeruns and 69 RBIs. The A's will be getting LHP Fernando Adab, who had a 3.35 ERA in 39 relief appearances for the Washington Nationals last season. This trade comes after the A's traded then Snapper, RHP Dakota Bacus, midseason to the Washington Nationals for catcher, Kurt Suzuki.
The Snappers will open their 2014 season as Beloit hosts the Burlington Bees April 3, 2014 at Pohlman Field; first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 pm. For additional information or tickets call the Snappers Office at (608) 362-2272.
