Lindolfo Zimmer
Good afternoon to all and welcome to COPEL's 2012 results conference call. Before anything, I am delighted to introduce our new CFO and IRO, Mr. Luiz Eduardo Sebastiani. Call is given a twofold dimension: to continue and improve a close relationship with the COPEL market and to align the market view with the management view regarding our short, medium and long term. Mr. Sebastiani is an economist who graduated from the Federal University of Paraná and with the Masters degree in Economic Theory from the State University of Campinas. Among other previous positions, he was the Secretary of Finance for 6 years and was recently the Chief of Staff of the State Government of Paraná and Fiscal Advisor to the Paraná sanitation company, Sanepar, into Companhia Paranaense de Energia, COPEL.
I would also like to mention 2 other important changes in the company management. To take over the office for the Environment and Corporate Citizenship, we appointed Engr. Jonel Nazareno Iurk, who holds a Masters Degree in Social Science and a specialization in environmental engineering. Up until recently, he was a secretary for the Environment of Paraná. Soon, Engr. [indiscernible] will take over as Distribution Officer. He specialize in Energy Utilities Management having graduated from the Federal Technological University of Paraná, [indiscernible] has been with COPEL for many years and has served as COPEL's Distribution Officer previously. These changes are key for our management and will drive the improvements that we want to bring about.
Well then, 2012 was an intense year for the group in the electric sector, full of novelties. The approval of Law 12783/2013 which rules on the extension of concession conversion engaged a good deal of our attention. COPEL's management based on the rationale to maximize the net preference value of its cash flows, chose to accept the government agencies proposal to anticipate the extension of the transmission asset in agreement to 060/2001, given our strategy to work as a consolidating agent in the transmission business in Brazil and the resulting need to capture economies of scale and optimize the use of our teams of specialists in this area.
[indiscernible] January of this year, the Annual Permitted Revenue of the extended agreement will be BRL 116 million, down from BRL 305 million. Also as of January of this year, COPEL has been receiving in 30 monthly installments indemnification for transmission assets, which started operating after May of 2000. Indemnification amounts to BRL 894 million, restated by IPCA extended to consumer price index less 5.59% per annum. We will also receive an indemnification for assets which started operating until May of 2000 amounting to BRL 160 million.
In the same token, we resolved to reject the government agencies' proposal to extend the concession of the power plants of Parigot de Souza, Chopim I, Mourão and Rio dos Patos, which together comes to a little less than 6% of our installed capacity. The conditions for extension in this stage were clearly unfavorable to the company, which after a thorough analysis just to keep these assets only until the current contract expires. The current energy position SIN, Brazilian Interconnected System, have dropped and the SIN energy balance with resulting price increases in the short term, ended up proving that our decision was rightly made. Actually, this prolongs the drought and the pressure on the cash flows of our generation company and distribution company, basically explains our work results on a year-on-year comparison. With this prolonged drought, we expect that the Araucária TP to dispatch during the year of 2013, throughout the year.
In January, 8% of the energy was generated by [indiscernible] should positively reflecting the results after first half of 2013. So to readjust administrative prices, considering transport prices and generation from those assets which accepted contract extensions and the reduction of sectoral charges, COPEL Distribuicao was subjected to an extraordinary tariff review, which should determine an average 19.3% tariff reduction coming to effect as of January 24, 2013. This, however, will not affect our distribution company's capacity to generate cash. We'd also like to remind you that our distribution company went through the same tariff review cycle in June of 2012 and therefore, we expect no more surprises beyond this line of business in the coming years.
And this recent move by the concession authority has made it even more urgent for us to focus on cost reduction. Immediately, COPEL management decided to conclude the permanent and voluntary resignation or redundancy program, PSDV, by the end of 2012 to encourage people to join and expedite the reduction in its payroll costs. The result was that almost 1,200 employees joined, of which 790 in 2012. Although the program that will entail a reduction of at least to 10% of payroll cost to be seen already in 2014, it ended up putting pressure on our 2012 results, because perhaps the provision around BRL 170 million worth of labor indemnification and severance pay.
I would like to add that we have defined our cost optimization program, and as soon as possible, we will disclose the agreed upon value. And to our extension plan, we will actively participate in the extension cycle of the transmission system, which will include according to EBE, additional 10,500 kilometers of transmission lines and 21 substations. Other than that, we're working to deliver our new generation and transmission projects within our budget and time frame, and we'll continue to analyze other profitable operating assets.
We can never overemphasize our commitment to put a principle of value creation and wealth generation to our shareholders in this extension move. In other words, any and all acquisitions to be made by COPEL shall by guided by the rationale to maximize cash flow and return to shareholders.
Finally, we propose the payout of BRL 269 million in dividends and interest on equity to our shareholders, a little over 38% of our reported net income, of which BRL 138 million were paid in advance in January, the remaining portion of which approval by our General Shareholders Meeting to be held on April 25, 2013. I should also state that management of COPEL is aware of the demand by minority shareholders who were asking for improvements in our dividend payout policy, and we intend to review it in due course.
I now turn the floor to Luiz Eduardo Sebastiani to present COPEL's 2012 economic and financial results.
Luiz Eduardo da Veiga Sebastiani
I thank our CEO, the CEO of Companhia Paranaense de Energia, COPEL. Good afternoon, and I thank all of you who are participating in this conference call. To me, it is a great delight and honor to take over as Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Officer of COPEL, a company that I have always deeply admired. Given the [indiscernible] and the economics history of the State of Paraná, and being an important company for the development of our state and ultimately of Brazil. I now introduce the results of 2012.
The challenges are many. I was attracted to take over this job position because of these challenges. I now take on the commitment to overcome these challenges, i.e., cost optimization, which is absolutely necessary for the company and for all companies in the industry. I have aligned strategies to cope with this need to reduce cost, absolutely a key to the company. So we will kick off a program that would guide very quickly and very consistently. Also, on our agenda is the challenge to review our dividends payout policy. So the dividend payout policy have always linked to the results of the company, and should reflect a positive result.
Another challenge is to generate value for our shareholders. We're making prudent investments that will bring results to our shareholders. This is our focus. CRC negotiation with the State of Paraná, to leverage funds for new investment and to get consistency to our dividend payout policy. So we have very substantial challenges ahead of us, but we have a very devoted team at COPEL. And then we'll be working -- side by side with them to drive important results for our company. Thanks to the proficiency in the Brazilian electric sector.
I'd like to move to Slide 4, where you can see our results. Here we can see the net operating revenue growing 10% year-on-year, reaching the mark of BRL 8.5 billion. This was driven by a number of factors, 12.6% increase in electricity sold to end customers. And [indiscernible] increased availability coming mainly from market expansion, the captive market growing 3.5% in 2012. And from the 2011 readjustment cycle, whose average increase was 3%, partially offset by 0.65% reduction related to the said tariff review cycle that COPEL went through in June of 2012.
On the next slide, we have some comments to make. Electricity sold to distributors was up 12.8%, primarily due to cost increases and the power purchase agreement in the regulated market. This is a random increase in bilateral contracts and particularly between higher revenue and CCEE submarket, pushed by an increase in spot market prices or PLD. Thus, revenue coming from electricity sales considering electricity sold to end customers, electricity sold to distributors in greater availability grew 8.4% in the period.
And our operating revenues grew 93.3%, mainly caused by higher revenues from the lease at the Araucária gas plant, as just mentioned, in fact, following contractual adjustments with Petrobras and its dispatch between March and December of 2012.
It is important to highlight also the 72% increase in telecommunications revenue. Basically, with the new customers and the diversification in our product and solutions portfolio, the customer base of COPEL Telecomunicações has increased to 3,141 customer, 117% up compared to 2011. In COPEL Telecommunications, operating all 399 municipalities of Paraná state to become 100% of the State of Paraná, and another 2 municipalities in Santa Catarina state. Also, 18.6% revenue increase in distribution of pipe to gas, supplied by Compagas. It basically followed tariff adjustments, 8.5% as of August 2011, 4.5% as of March 2012 and 8% as of August 2012.
Well, we would like to talk about the operating cost and expense. In 2012, operating cost and expense has increased by 16.5% year-on-year. Due to the following facts: Number one, a positive 0.4% increase in electricity purchased for resale. I'm going to give you more details on that later. The second point, a 22.1% upturn in charges for the use of the main transmission grid. This is the straight-up of new assets in the system and higher charges. Reserved energy, EER, and systems services, ESS, partially offset by the fact that large free customers left the basic network. Thirdly, the 32.5% increase in natural gas and supply for the gas business following higher prices for the natural gas acquired by COPEL Gas, mainly because of the depreciation of the Brazilian real and the price increase in the oil basket, which will determine the gas acquisition price.
On the next slide. We talk specifically about the personnel account. Of the following situation, a 26.9% increase in personnel expenses -- the reason for leading into this personnel increase. This has been a high increase and needs to be explained, so we give you a detailed information on that. There was a [ph] wage increase of 7.4% as of October 2011 and 5.54% as of October 2012. Also, the indemnification in the succession and voluntary redundancy program amounting to BRL 168.8 million. This was a prudent and necessary provisioning for the health of the company. And after this program is completed, there will be a reduction in the personnel account, I have already mentioned the wage increases. And I stress, a 7.4% as of October of 2011 and again, 5.58% as of October of 2012.
Here, it is important to mention that we also reviewed the career and compensation structure in the company. We needed to align and the salaries that we pay with market salaries so that we could reduce turnover. We're also -- we're at the risk of losing our executives to the market. So we needed to review the career and compensation structure that led to another personnel cost increase. But again, I wanted to mentioned the PSDV, the succession and voluntary redundancy program. It means the cost now but later on, it will show a release in our personnel account and our payroll costs. When all of these employees are terminated, there will be a payroll cost reduction of around 10% to be felt in 2014.
On slide 7, we break down the energy purchase for resale and we compare with a 2011 budget. It should be highlighted here is the higher cost related to the energy purchases and options in the regulated market, the so-called CCEAR. Excesses to purchase energy from CCEE and Itaipu. The purchase of energy in the regulated market grew for couple of reasons. One, market growth. I would like to remind you that the capital market grew 3.5% in 2012. Secondly, monetary restatement of contract, IPCA was 5.84% in 2012. And certainly, higher cost with CDP [ph] contracts given the increase of their relative share in the purchase of energy and acceleration of the stock market price within the fourth quarter caused the CDP [ph] to dispatch energy.
The expense increase in CCEE stems from the significant spot market price increase throughout the year. With the average price in the range of BRL 30 per megawatts in 2011, increasing to BRL 160 per megawatt hour in 2012. And also central electricity generation below the physical guarantee in the fourth quarter of 2012, which costs BRL 53 million through COPEL Geração e Transmissão. Finally, the expense increased related to a tax boost driven mainly by the real depreciation vis-à-vis to dollar around 20% when we compare the average exchange rate of 2012 with that of 2011.
On Slide 8, we give you the consolidated EBITDA for 2012, which shrunk 18.9% compared to 2011, totaling BRL 1,500,000,000 and an 18% margin of the operating revenue, as you can see on Slide 8. COPEL Geração e Transmissã accounted for 73% of the cash generated, while COPEL Distribuição contribute with 8%.
On the next slide, Slide 9, we give you COPEL's net income which was BRL 726.5 million in 2012, 38% down compared to 2011. In addition to those effects, they put pressure on our operating cash revenue, adjustments made in the asset base of our distribution company, that contributed to a net income reduction. These adjustments are related to the third tariff reading cycle that we had in 2012. Many companies are going through this process with monthly financial situation of companies. And secondly, the extension of the life cycle of assets as of January of 2012, as determined by ANEEL. Together, this effects led to an additional financial expense of BRL 401 million in 2012 related to the reevaluation of the [indiscernible] of our distribution asset. The highest impact has been absorbed in 2012, and that is important looking forward. Thus, the consolidated profit margin was 8.5% in 2012 with our generation company hitting the mark of 31%, while our distribution company posted a negative 0.7% net profit due to the factors mentioned previously.
On Slide 10, we have the EBITDA and consolidated net income of the company for 2012, net of extraordinary effects and in comparison with 2011. So if we were to disregard that the negative CVA movement of BRL 125 million, the eligible purchase [ph] in the spot market to cover the physical guarantee of our generation company amounting to BRL 63 million, and PSDV amounting to 170 million EBITDA or would have been BRL 1.909 billion in 2012. And if we were to eliminate the previously-mentioned factors that impacted EBITDA, BRL 401 million related to the reevaluation of the fair value of our distribution assets. It was mentioned before it's a new estimate of the life cycle of these assets. Depreciation rates into the non-recognition of a part of our asset base, we would have reached the net income of BRL 1.185 billion in 2012 compared to BRL 1.165 billion in 2011. So not of the events, we would see a certain stability, which does not eliminate our challenge and our focus to reduce costs. We have to pursue the orientation of our CEO, I'm talking the company altogether move towards cost reduction.
In a nutshell, these were the highlights of COPEL's results. It is clear that 2012 was a year of adjustments. And we are working to deliver much better results in 2013. I have observed that COPEL's shares are traded at much lower multiples than the multiples of our peer company. And I want to tell you that my actions will be geared primarily to align our multiples and recover the value of our share. This is our motto, the determination of our company, of our CEO and that we will follow: To deliver good results because we have a very high-level technical team in the electric business. We have all the right conditions to raise the bar for COPEL. Thank you very much for your attention.
Question-and-Answer Session
[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Ms. Lilyanna Yang from UBS.
Lilyanna Yang - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division
Thank you for the opportunity. I would like you to comment on the strategy to commercialize energy of COPEL Geração. I've been hearing the allocations were made in January, but for 2014, '15. I would like to know what is the level of contracting and how do you believe is the best way to commercialize this electricity? The second question, I would like you to explain the dividend payout policy. Do you understand that the company should be more leveraged than it is now or perhaps -- get down to 2x of net debt over EBITDA ratio?
Lindolfo Zimmer
To answer the first question, regarding the commercialization of electricity. In the future, I'll consider them. For 2013, we are fully contracted. The settlers [ph] that we had, 8% which was in reserve, was sold very early at a very attractive price. And now, given yesterday, recognized to our new management. That's a launch of real [ph] seasonality of energy, we'll have to be subjective. But the situation is quite good for 2014, '15, in terms of shortage of electricity and energy, I believe that the conditions will also be favorable. Not the same as 2013, but we know that the system has just enough to meet the demand, and even considering the best that you could see growth, we know that all PDCs will be dispatched during 2013, about 15,000 megawatts being dispatched by thermal power plants, including all of them. So that the costs are significant. That will make our energy -- wind power, which is cheap, will be an excellent opportunity to help us in this commercialization. We have not defined it as yet, what will be the right strategic mix. We have to know how the industry will behave. We have to know how the economy of the country will behave and the demand, and that will define the cost for contracted energy and for our own generated energy.
Luiz Eduardo da Veiga Sebastiani
I will try to answer your question about dividend -- the dividend policy. This is indeed a challenge for the company. The main challenge is to our address the dividend payout policy. We're aware that it is necessary to align it with the average of the electric industry. The challenge is to link the financial capacity, to generate profits, to leverage new investments, so that we can have a higher dividend payout. This is an interesting and complex challenge. But for the [indiscernible], with a change in the company's agenda, as I mentioned during the presentation, we should have a more, let's say, firm policy for dividend payout. This is understood by our financial department, our CEO shares the same understanding. But the dividend payout policy needs to be firmer. So the message to our shareholders is that this is going to be tackled. This will be important for the growth of the company. It is one of the challenges.
Lilyanna Yang - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division
If I try to understand your leverage, your debt is too low. For example, your net debt over EBITDA ratio, it's around 2x, right? Do you think you need a more aggressive investment policy, more aggressive than what we've seen in the last 2 years?
Luiz Eduardo da Veiga Sebastiani
Well actually, we see and I know there are people who follow the company will definitely see that the company has an impressive [ph] debt level. The same kind of alignment that we have to have in terms of dividend payout policy, we have to have in terms of the investments to be made by the company in the electric sector. We have to analyze the company condition to get more debt, but you'll see, Ms. Yang, we're following our guidelines, and we have to work together with the engineering department of the company, we [indiscernible] them to find the opportunity for investments in the market. Well, that kind of demand has to come from the engineering group. We will thoroughly consider these investments. This isn't just news for the company, for the pioneers of the company. Anyone finds out the dividend payout policy. So again, new investment. Have to get our full and total attention. We just have to look for new sources of revenues. This is absolutely key to contain expenses. So this is something that is also part of our work agenda. Thank you very much.
[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from Mr. Oswaldo Telles from Best Securities Company.
Oswaldo Alcântara Telles Filho - Espirito Santo Investment Bank, Research Division
Regarding 2 topics that you've mentioned. One is about that you are seeing negotiation. I would like you to elaborate a little bit more, I would like to understand where the negotiation stands. And the second question has to do with the personnel reduction, headcount reduction, this 10% reduction in payroll cost. Can we expect that effect to be seen in 2013? And the cost -- would the cost reduction be directly related to the amount of indemnification paid, or do all the indemnifications account for more than 10%?
Luiz Eduardo da Veiga Sebastiani
Okay, your first question about CRC. You all know and the discussion between our company and government of the state. The state has a debt to COPEL, like BRL 1,340,000,000. That is the amount of the debt initially. The interest rate are being changed, [ph] so the fees will be GPM -- GPM actually, high GPM. So a certain percentage. And the profile of the debt is such that the State of Parana or the entire [indiscernible] renegotiation [ph] of the payment of the debt. Now with regards to COPEL. They are renegotiating other debts as well. And the debt that they have with us is a good debt, and once again [ph] these financial resources, but lower interest rate. Not based and not back to high GPM and where perhaps [indiscernible], if I'm not mistaken, this is an operation that is ongoing. Or it is up to us to analyze this proposition, because if we could have the funds anticipated to us. If the CRC negotiation comes about in a very transparent way and it couldn't be any different than that, the funds would be linked to an important investment to the company. And are leveraging new sources of revenue for the company. And it would be a guarantee that COPEL would not face a default. That's actually happened in the case of [indiscernible] State, where over the history, there was an accumulation of defaulted payments and that led to compulsory contract review, and it was a very complicated and unstable situation. So we are looking into this year, to negotiation very carefully from the standpoint of the company. It could be, it is an adequate work, but we have to take into account the interest of COPEL. Is it worth having this anticipation? This payment brought forward? Leads to strong program of business for the company in an investment for the company? That would be an important deliverable, if the negotiation comes about. But we're still halfway in the process. We'll still have some details to define, but fundamentally, COPEL has to conduct a study that will give us a subsidy to go on with this negotiation that we're bringing forward to the CRC payment. And as of the second question, it's the 10% will be focused in 2013 and the answer is no. We said in the presentation, and we work from here, but this benefit, a 10% reduction in payroll cost will be felt in 2014. In 2014, the effects will be, on average, 3% only. It is still an interesting result. We are preparing the headcount of the company, that we have people who are resigning from the company are very experienced people, and we are working to have them find another position elsewhere.
[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from [indiscernible] from NSF[ph] .
Unknown Analyst
When the new governor took over in Parana a few years ago, the hope was that the quality environment in your state would be very conducive to investing. And yet, your stock has -- COPEL stock been quite core relative, down almost 30%, just even -- over the past year. And that should have had absolutely no confidence with the capital allocation strategy of your former management team, and that's why I'm assuming I'm talking to a new management team. The stock trades at 60% of book value, 6x consensus 14 estimates, which tells you that investors have absolutely no faith in the outlook for this company. And so as you think about formulating this strategy, specifically on a capital allocation strategy, I just wanted to ask a couple of specific questions for those of us who actually are investors in your company and frankly, a lot investors in your company. The dividend payout policy has been pathetic, beyond pathetic and frankly, if you just raised your payout ratio from 38% to 50%, and cost of incremental 100 -- around approximately BRL 160 million, shareholders would kiss the ground that the company actually responded to shareholders. You have many extraneous assets, like your [indiscernible] assets that could have been sold at a very high price. If I wanted to go invest in a telecom company, there are many good companies in Brazil. No one buys COPEL stocks for its telecom assets. And so, could you actually help me understand what sort of investment criteria will be used in terms of your expected returns above company's cost of capital going forward? And that this capital allocation strategy can be put in place, so that some value can be finally realized in COPEL stocks?
Lindolfo Zimmer
I would like to thank you for your question. Unfortunately, you were cutting off, and we'd like to apologize if you don't answer your question in full, but I believe you asked about the dividend payout policy of the company. If we were to conclude that, though, there was a slight growth this year, especially compared to 2011, it was 38% of our reported net income, in 2011, around 35%. And that same issue related to the investment policy of the company. And that's where the secret lies again, the main issue. These things are not disconnected to us. On the contrary, we want to have these 2 policies linked, a more important dividend payout policy, will be able to give the company new investments, some for new investments. And new investments that will give us a profit or return above the cost of capital. We are being very diligent in pursuing this. The electric sector is growing. We're identifying new energy sources, new frontiers, new geographic frontiers in our country. We are no longer limited to Parana for quite a while. Now we, are diversifying now. Diversifying projects, projects that are operational, that have insured revenue or assured revenue, and we have to identify opportunities to have the return on capital. Given the efficiency of the company, the current efficiency of the company, and we intend to increase our efficiency, given our engineering team. We intend to have the return on profit after cost of capital. And if you could see here, where I would like to add, since the beginning of our management 2 years ago, we committed that our investments will be healthy and solid, since we have embedded to this company, to generate, is to create and [indiscernible], and this is how we have been operating. And so as the investments we've made, all of them have a better return than other investments made in the past. And we want to maintain this policy. It could not be different. We were not in the position to make investments that would not bring the result to shareholders. This is the reason of our existence. It doesn't make any sense to change that. The controlling shareholder, the State of Parana, wishes to have that relentlessly. The government of Parana also needs the resources to invest in the social program and to supply the needs of State of Parana and all of the other shareholders. They also want to have their investments growing healthily. So this policy can and will be definitely maintained and incremented, if possible. Obviously, it depends a little bit on the speed of the growth in the electric sector. Sometimes, they move from -- the economy and that the growth of the sectors doesn't happen as fast as we would like. But we want to have investments, always, that will bring us healthy results.
[Operator Instructions] Well, there are no more questions and we would like to give the floor to Mr. Lindolfo Zimmer to say your [indiscernible] final remarks.
Lindolfo Zimmer
Before ending, I would like to emphasize what was said by our CFO, Sebastiani. 2012 is a year of adjustments, and I am sure that 2013 will be a year when we will turn the page. We will have a totally different year, a better year in all of our lines of business. Once again, I would like to thank you for joining us, for participating. We remain available. Our Investor Relations department remains available if you want -- if you need any further clarifications. Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen, COPEL's 2012 results conference call is now finished. We thank you for participating and wish you a good afternoon.

The war against drugs may seem like a never ending battle, but one local pastor says he is not backing down despite threats and even gunshots fired at his car.
Pastor Stephen Wilson works with UNITE and the Leslie County Drug Court to bring a change to their community, helping people overcome drug addiction. With a desire to reach out to those struggling with addiction, just as he once did, Wilson ministers in peoples' homes and communities and now he claims some of those he's helped are the ones making threats against his well being. Though he's thought about pulling back his efforts, Wilson says he will not let them win.
Sunday morning, songs and prayers continued at the Middlefork United Methodist Church despite intimidation to the Leslie County native.
"I was very excited to come back to the community hoping to make a difference, hoping to share the knowledge that God had given me and work hard in the community," Wilson said.
But not everyone appreciated Wilson's charismatic outreach to the community.
"My daughter and I were sitting at our kitchen table, our oldest daughter, and we were praying. No longer had I said amen, I heard a shotgun blast," he said.
No one was injured, but the windows of Wilson's car were shot out and bullets grazed the roof.
"If we're going to make Leslie County and Eastern Kentucky the kind of place we all want to live in, he's the kind of people that we need and we appreciate him for that," said UNITE Deputy Director Paul Hays.
Wilson's message against drugs is frequently a part of his sermon.
"This man is really doing a good job in his area in trying to help rid his community of a really serious drug problem. That is destroying the children and the future of Leslie County," Hays said.
Wilson says most are thankful for the community's support to overcome addiction, yet he is still apprehensive of a select few.
"It's not fun to live in a house with your lights off and you worry about every vehicle that goes by," Wilson said.
With support from his family and congregation, Wilson does not intend to back down.
"Nowhere in the scripture does it say it's going to be easy," Wilson said. "I'm going to be here as long as God lets me."
Wilson says he has no anger toward those who made the threats and he will continue to reach out and pray for those involved.

Did Kate Winslet says Sam Mendes is directing James Bond 23 in 2011?
As expected, MGM's bankruptcy restructuring plan as approved by judge today, but there's been little word from the now mini-lion and EON productions on the fate of the next James Bond adventure. Sam Mendes had been brought on as a "consultant" and was expected to direct the 23rd installment of the franchise, but that all went out the window when MGM's financial troubles put everything on hold. Now, Mendes' estranged wife, none the than Oscar winner Kate Winslet, appears to have spilled some major details.
Winslet and Mendes are publicly on good terms as any separated couple can be for the benefit of their children. While speaking to London's The Daily Mail, Winslet revealed she was moving from New York City back to London so the kids can be closer to dad while he's shooting the next Bond flick next year.
Winslet told the Daily Mail, "Sam is doing the next Bond film, all being well, and we'll all be in England if that happens. It's such a massive commitment for him and it's not fair for him to commute backwards and forwards to New York from London. It would be impossible. The children will be there with me."
The Oscar winner also laughed off any speculation she'd appear as a Bond girl although she didn't rule out working with Mendes, who directed her in again in the future. They previously collaborated on the period drama "Revolutionary Road."
The report also says Bond producer Barbra Broccoli and Mendes have seen actor Simon Russell Beale perform in the West End production of "Deathtrap" for a possible role in the untitled tentpole. Beale has appeared in such films as "Orlando," "Hamlet" and "An Ideal Husband."
None of this has been confirmed by either MGM or EON, but Winslet isn't one to put out false rumors. More intriguing will be just who will release the next Bond film. Will MGM now merge with Lionsgate? Or, will the smaller company distribute their pictures with a new partner such as Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox or Sony Pictures? Even a master spy like 007 doesn't have the answer to that mystery. Not yet anyway.
Look for continuing updates on the next James Bond film as news warrants on HitFix.

Hi, I am Wong. I am the SAHM of a 2.5 year old girl from Malaysia. I started sewing when I had my little girl. I started this wonderful hobby thinking it would be great being able to custom-make clothing and toys for my little one. I then started getting acquainted with sewing through blogs and tutorials. It then evolved into sewing for other children. It is so rewarding to see the twinkle in their eyes when they put on the dresses I made. Now, it is impossible to part me away from hand-making things for children.
Not too long ago, I decided that it is now my turn to share my passion and ideas with others. I started designing and making patterns. All my designs are comfortable and yet stylish for children. Keeping in mind many mommies would love to make clothing for their children, like I do, so all the instructions are easy to follow and suitable for all skill levels.

Second and third place will guarantee a Europa League spot and Caley Thistle can move level with second-placed Motherwell, and eight points ahead of the chasing pack, if they beat St Johnstone at home.
But Butcher knows the Perth club and Ross County will also fancy their chances, as well as the final club to book their place this weekend.
The Inverness boss, whose side are unbeaten in six games and seeking their third consecutive win, said: "Every club that's gone into the top six will say, 'Right we're there, let's crack on and win as many games as we can and see if we can get that European spot'.
"Every club will be saying that because it is pretty tight. We want to catch Motherwell, we have got to play them up here in the top six.
"We want to maintain this lead that we have got over the other clubs and keep on going and try to secure a European place, as quickly as possible. Yes, we're after it, yes, we want it, and we are doing everything in our power to try and get it."
Saints claimed a last-gasp 1-1 draw with Dundee United on Monday to clinch a top-six spot for the second season in a row.
Boss Steve Lomas now has his sights set on another crack at European football, after facing Turkish outfit Eskisehirspor at the start of this campaign, but acknowledges the task his side face.
He said: "That's the ambition but there are a lot of teams there who also want to get it. You would have to say that Motherwell and Inverness are in the driving seat. The European place is there to play for so, to get on a good run at this crucial stage, will be invaluable."

The Bluest Eye
by Toni Morrison
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Did you notice all of the discussion of houses in the novel? From the very first page, when we read the line, "Here is the house," the novel seems to want to get us thinking about where and how people live.
One way to think about houses is as a symbol of economic advancement. Owning a house says something about one's income and social class status. Claudia notes that property ownership is important for African Americans, especially coming out of the age of slavery. In the 19th century, black slaves were considered property, so the opportunity to own property – an opportunity some middle-class blacks were able to afford – made a very strong political and personal statement.
Houses can often symbolize an ideal of domestic harmony, which we see in the first part of the Prologue. The Dick-and-Jane house seems safe and comfortable and the family that lives inside perfect, normal, happy...and presumably white. But the houses of the working-class African-American characters in this novel are not comfortable.
Often, the way that houses are described matches the emotions of the people inside. The Breedloves' abandoned storefront is described as assaulting passersby with its melancholy appearance. And although the MacTeer house is "old, cold and green," Claudia goes to great lengths to tell the reader that the love of her family provided warmth. If only the Breedloves were so lucky!
Houses also have a particularly loaded association for women in the novel, since women who didn't work were responsible for tending to the home. Geraldine and Pauline both have strong domestic ties: Geraldine views her home as an extension of herself, and Pauline uses the Fisher's home to fantasize about being of a higher social class.

I'm Shiela Dixon, peahen on Ravelry, I blog at Stitchin' Bints and Shiela Dixon on Facebook. Here you will find information, news and supplies for the hand knitter.
Circular shawl made into parasol
I have trouble wearing any kind of shawl and looking as cool as the models on the pattern.
Here's a very different idea for a circular shawl, carry it in the form of a parasol.
The pattern is Lady of the Lake by Lotta Groeger and in her blog post she includes instructions for making the parasol (it's easier than you think!)
Venus de Milo by Sara Elizabeth Kellner
This beautifully-knitted figure is by Sarah Elizabeth Kellner and is available as a pattern from Ravelry.
She's worked mostly in the round, and mostly in one piece using short rows.
By coincidence, I reported in Hand Spinning News of May last year a reconstruction of the statue based on the idea that she was using her arms for drop-spinning yarn.
Coffin route blanket laid to rest on Black Mountain in Brecon Beacons
This twenty foot circular Cwtch blanket weighs 8kg was knitted by Swansea artist Ann Jordan from 12 miles of yarn from local Black Mountain sheep, it took 1,500 hours of knitting.
The work was lain in an ancient burial cairn on the walking route known as the 'coffin route'. It marks the textile history of the area and has been sewn with heather seends to help to conserve the peat as the wool returns to the land from which it came.
Training with David Babcock, the Knitting Runner
Last year David Babcock set a Guinness record for knitting the longest scarf while running a marathon. (How many have even tried?) As if that wasn't hard enough he knitted the words 'I'll remember for you' into the scarf.
This year he's running two marathons. One while crocheting a doily and one while crocheting flowers.
Lion Brand interview David about his endeavours.
Minimum number of stitches for various circular needle sizes
Avoid the stretch! This chart has been shared so much that it's difficult to know who to credit for making it. (Thank you if it was you.)
A very useful resource to bookmark, save or pin.
Why Don't I Have A Knit Sheath?
Knit sheaths are rarely used these days, although I do know people who anchor the working needle under one arm (requires a long needle).
The sheath is fastened to a belt or somehow to the body and holds the needle so that the right hand is free to throw the working yarn while the left hand moves the left needle against the fixed right one.
Jenn takes a look at the history, some ancient sheaths and the Terrible Knitters of Dent.
32 cool yarnbombings
It seems that yarnbombing won't go away.
Here's a collection of 32 examples. Some are clever, some are amusing, some are wacky, some are cute.
Old yarn labels
By her own admission , Jenn is a "a sentimental squish-squish"
Prompted by a mention of 'virgin acrylic' and wondering what that meant and whether she had any, she's been going through some very old yarn (77 cents anyone?) and has taken these pictures for us to enjoy.
Do you remember any of these?
Blossom and Yarn
Teams of knitters began creating 4-inch squares in early 2014 and under Lois Gill, these have been sewn together to create six scenes consisting of lifesize characters, flowers, food and other colourful objects.
Each rural Norfolk church hosted a different event; Easter, wedding, harvest, remembrance, Christmas and baptism.
The displays were amazing, but only on display for three days, leaving only memories and photographs. Thanks to josiekitten for taking so many fabulous photos of each scene.
NHS could soon prescribe home improvements and knitting
In an effort to make the NHS more radical and ambitious, the government is considering 'social prescribing' to ease pressure on the service, such as insulation for those having trouble keeping their homes warm and knitting groups to tackle problems such as depression.
Make it modular and make it manageable
This heirloom afghan is a huge four feet by six. There is no patter, stitches were chosen from a stitch dictionary.
It would be almost impossible to make in one piece, but easy in strips or sections and sewn together, as this was. Lisa Shroyer discusses the options.
Sculptures using leaves and crochet
These images have done the rounds of the social media but in case you've not seen them yet...
Susanna Bauer blends fragility and strength. She uses crochet with found natural objects, often overlooked.
Explore the 'work' menu on her site for more leaves, stones and wood.
With thanks to Knithacker for sharing.
Look Who's Knitting
Here's a great collection of pictures of celebrities, past and present, engaged with needles and yarn, some staged, some genuinely.
With thanks to Wool and the Gang. Link doesn't require Facebook login.
Photos from The Gnome Genome Project
I love Anna's tiny knitted world so much. The little gnome has become her trademark, so it's no surprise that she's chosen it as the theme for her solo art show, The Gnome Genome Project in Seoul.
In this blog post, she gives us a large number of pictures from the preview and they really are a delight.
Guinness World Record for largest crochet blanket
The "67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela" group have stitched together 6700 blankets, knitted, crocheted or quilted, to set a new record for the area covered by a blanket.
The event marked Mandela Day. The blankets, which covered 3133 square metres, will now be distributed to the needy.
With thanks to Knithacker for sharing.
Jamieson's of Shetland
If this picture raises your pulse then you'll love this podcast episode in which Louise of KnitBritish visits Jamieson's of Shetland (not to be confused with Jamieson and Smith).
She discusses with Garry and Lizzie the history of their family business (Garry is fifth generation), the refurbished shop and 100% shetland yarn of the present and the future.
A brief history of crochet
Have you recently learned to crochet? You're in good company, it was number 3 in Google's most popular how-to searches of 2014.
Wool and the Gang have compiled this wonderful walk-through of crochet from Victorian (that's Her Imperial Majesty busy making a doily in the picture) through to today. It includes the stylish, the ridiculous and the mind-boggling.
Yarn shaming
Franklin Habit, self-confessed curmudgeon and knitting evangelist is well worth following. He's very witty and will provide a smile when you need one. Here's an enjoyable project - you've seen cats and dogs being shamed but what about when the yarn misbehaves?
Needle Doodles
Knitpro's Dreamz needles are colour-coded for size, which is really helpful.
Valérie has personalised these regular bamboo needles using sharpie pens and a bit of something to seal the colour. You could devise your own system for denoting the different sizes!
A treasured gift
These little flowers are details from a "wee knitted hoose".
Kate Davies has been in touch with the Royal Edinburgh Repository and Self Aid Society - also known as the Treasure Trove - for many years. After speaking at their recent AGM, they presented her with this gift which was made by a society member.

What made you fall in love with knitting? Cotton and Cloud shows us the amazing book which turned her onto knitting.

No yarns of danger could deter this old lady
This lovely story from a 1908 New York Times tells the story of one knitter's stand against Health and Safety.
With thanks to the Knitty Blog for sharing
The Queen's colour-chart
This amazing chart shows The queen's outfits sorted by colour and shows which is clearly her favourite colour.
Thanks to http://www.facebook.com/WeLoveWool for sharing. "Lots of wool outfits in there too!!" they say.
Stainless steel yarn
Have you used stainless steel yarn?
Minniemoll has given it a go and says that it's fun and that you can shape the finished item.
Here she writes her thoughts about how to avoid the 'chain mail' look and knitting straight from the cone.
How to spin and knit this shawl in ten days
One of my own blog posts, I'm very proud of this project.
I managed to spin and knit this shawl in 10 days of the Olympics, leaving time for some WIP wrestling.
Here are the details and lots of photos.
Blogpick: a traditionally constructed Haapsalu Shawl
Jobo Designs has made her first Haapsalu Shawl - knit as a rectangle with a separate border seamed on.
The result is a rectangular shawl with beautifully rounded corners.
Despite being a slightly larger yarn than called for, it fits through her wedding ring.
Click through for more pictures and information.
Hand Carved Crochet Hooks
Knitsnthings has a new look to her blog but she's being just as crafty as ever.
Wanting to do something with a dead branch from her pear tree, she's learned to carve crochet hooks which look cute and work well.
Reading Charts
Many knitters are frightened of reading a chart for the first time, but when you know a few basic rules, they're not scary at all, says Anniken Allis.
She gives us an easy-to-understand but comprehensive tutorial which will help you to knit more quickly by following the chart rather than written instructions.
Bigger on the Inside
Thanks to Knitty Blog for reporting this wonderful 'knitting meets Dr Who moment'.
Knitter and Doctor Who Fan Lisa Pinedo made this 'Bigger on the Inside' shawl and wore it to a convention. She made a spontaneous decision to give it to actress Karen Gillan (Amy Pond). She says it was "tough parting with it" but she now has this amazing photograph.
Bigger on the Inside is a free shawl pattern from Knitty.
Bride knits her own dress
Lydia Tayler and Ash Pears went budget on their wedding in order to save money for a house, but Lydia still looks a million dollars in this beautiful dress that she knitted herself.
She spent four months knitting and says, "everyone just loved it. They could not stop looking at it and taking photographs"
She adds, "'If someone else was considering knitting their own dress, I'd tell them to go for it."
With thanks to VonnieS for sharing
Fair Isle nail art
These detailed Fair Isle nails were one of the finalists of a competition held by Motel Rocks earlier in the year.
Kokoro says that they'd be perfect at Christmas.
With thanks to Rosy Retro for sharing
Crocheted wedding dress
In another wool wedding dress, crochet this time, Lucy looked lovely in this dress which was crocheted by her grandmother for her mother in 1973.
Many thanks to The Creative Crochet Crew for the news.
25 ways to wear a scarf
If you find yourself stuck for the best way to wear a scarf, or if you've seen a photo that made you wonder "how did she put that on?" then this video may help.
Wendy demonstrates 25 ways to wear scarves and shawls and she has made the video in a very clever way.
After you've watched the video, do have a look at this slightly less serious take on the same subject shared by We Love Wool.
Blogpick: Joyuna's Lazy Katy
One of my favourite finished objects recently, Joyuna says that this pattern was unbelievably quick and easy to knit but more difficult to block.

ATT T1 Network = Reliability
Written by: Patrick Oborn - Aug 27, 2016
So reliability is important to you in your search for a connection? You may want to consider an ATT T1. ATT T1 lines have one of the highest SLA of any major carrier and the service is backed by an organization that has been in telecommunications for 113 years. If you're looking for superior quality, reliability and customer service consider buying a T1 line from ATT.
As mentioned in previous articles in the publication reliability is critical when setting up lines that will be the lifeline of your company. AT&T is among the world's premier voice, video and data communications companies, serving consumers, businesses and government. In 2000, AT&T had annual revenues of nearly $66 billion. Backed by the research and development capabilities of AT&T Labs, the company runs the world's largest, most sophisticated communications network, and is the largest cable operator in the U.S. The company is a leading supplier of data and Internet services for businesses and offers outsourcing, consulting and networking-integration to large businesses.
If you're convinced that ATT is a good solution for you but don't want to pay the price we have found another alternative. ACC Business, a division of ATT will sell the same service over the same network for a lower price! How is this possible? It's much like buying a generic brand and getting the same quality as the name brand. ACC was a reseller of ATT products until they were acquired by ATT in 1996. Now ACC provides the same ATT products under their own brand at a lower cost! If you want the security of a large company and the personable service of a small company, take a look at ACC Business.

I have been a patient at Dr Grosses office for many years. My over all perception of Dr. Carlos A. Quezada-Reyes was quite unfavorable. He was very abrupt and even though the symptoms I presented where not clearly pointing to a specific diagnosis he made me more confused about what might be developing. Think twice before you just take any appointment with anyone who just happens to be available in this office. Sadly Dr. Grosses office has gone the way of many Family/Internist practices. They need to see many patients and that calls for many Drs. which ultimately leeds to sometime impersonal care.
I quickly needed to see a doctor and was grateful that he was available on such short notice, but now I understand why. This is the worst doctor I've ever met with. He was quick to judge and refused to address my on-going physical symptoms by referring me to see a specialist. I should have read the other terrible reviews he has received online before meeting with him.
The doctor is very knowledgeable and most professional.
thiz man is a rude and unprofessional
Dr. Quezada is a fine diagnostician and because of his extreme knowledge of medicine, I'm alive today.
I spoke to you earlier today on behalf of my mother Cleo Perkins. You are aware of the nature of our conversation. After speaking with my mother again in the hospital she provided more details regarding your insensitive treatment towards her. I am appalled with the manner in which you spoke to my mother... A PATIENT... and will be forwarding my complaint against you to an official agency.

Solutions for Chapter 2
Start by finding the center of mass of the system. Because the two objects have the same mass, the center of mass of the system is always in the middle. The distance between both object and the center of mass, r, in terms of the distance between the two objects, d is
The magnitude force of gravity on one object from another can be found from Newton's law of gravity, and is dependent on the gravitational constant, G, the mass of each object, M1 and M2, and the distance between them, d. This can be further simplified because M1 and M2 are the same mass, M.
The acceleration of the body can be found from Newton's second law.
The tangential velocity can be found from the radial acceleration, and the radius of curvature of the motion, r.
The angular velocity, ω is the tangential velocity divided by the radius of curvature, r.
Therefore, the angular velocity of the line joining them is.

I recieved a letter stating I will recieve a 5000 platinum card from them for just signing my name and sending either 45 dollars or for rush service, send 49 dollars. No credit check and a 0% interest rate for 12 months. There was NO other info on the letter about this company aside from stating the APR after 12 months is 14.49%. No street address or phone number. I was suspicious and started looking for their company via the internet. I found no web site for them so then I came here and read all the entries about Peoples First. This is without a doubt the SAME company. Thanks Rip Off Report...You saved me 45 dollars.

Originally a web-driven, art production group, HitRECord has blown up all over the place and it's now becoming a television variety show… hosted by JGL himself! I love everything about his project, and JGL seems so legitimately excited about everything, you can't help but be excited for him. Peep the video to watch Joseph's announcement– it's really cute. Obviously, it's JGL.0

Best day off on tour ever!! pic.twitter.com/lRSQERZvLa
— Jenny Gunn (@GunnJenny) October 19, 2013
In her latest post, Jenny Gunn blogs about time away from cricket in the West Indies which included swimming with turtles.
I don't really know where to start as so much has happened in a week - both on and off the field.
In terms of the cricket, we have beaten New Zealand and lost to West Indies.
Our first Twenty20 against the Kiwis was getting a bit tense towards the end of our run-chase but we managed a giggle when Lauren Winfield, AKA Moose, ran up the wrong steps and into the New Zealand changing room.
You can't do anything in our team and get away with it.
We didn't finish until after 10pm and I guess Amy Jones isn't used to staying up that late as she fell asleep in the changing room.
Firstly and probably the most random thing was our team bus breaking down. Luckily we hadn't left the hotel but it meant we had to get taxis to training - a first.
I must add I don't want to do it again as we had to put up with Danni Wyatt playing Rihanna on full blast. It did drown out her singing though.
We had a rare day off so we decided to go out on a catamaran. We boarded at 9.30am and within 45 minutes were snorkelling, looking at shipwrecks.
I was so happy they gave us life jackets otherwise I would have been nowhere near the water.
I was knackered from all the swimming - I only achieved my 25 metres swimming badge in the shallow end at school.
It wouldn't have been so tiring had I actually inflated my life jacket - something Holly Colvin enjoyed pointing out.
The boat then took us to another site where we got the chance to swim with turtles. I must say that this is one of the best things I have ever done. The turtles came so close you could touch them.
We headed back to the harbour and just before arriving the crew got everyone up dancing.
Nat Sciver went a bit crazy and nearly fell in. It was lucky Lydia Greenway and I grabbed hold of her otherwise she would have got wet.

I think Gerrard has had a fairly below average year for the Reds. He's still the most important factor on the pitch, if only for morale. Carragher is my man but lets not forget the contributions of every player this season.Roll on Istanbul!

Nacs called my home, offered me a credit card (visa or mc) with a $2500 limit. Nacs said it would help rebuild my credit. All they needed was a $200 deposit.
Nacs electronically took the money from my checking account on 10-18-01. After not receiving the credit card, my bank electronically retreived my $200.
Now Nacs has put a negitive remark on my credit report. A clear violation of the FAIR CREDIT BILLING ACT. I never received a credit card from Nacs. On my credit report, Nacs has listed a credit card and delinquency of over 90 days. I never received a credit card from Nacs so how could I have a balance of $325.
I have contacted the Florida Consumer Services,On 12-19-02 Nacs has responded to this complaint with a letter stating "they would adjust my credit file to my advantage."
Well, needless to say Nacs has yet to ADJUST MY CREDIT FILE.

You can't say we weren't warned. We've known for a long time that IPv4 addresses were an endangered species.
I remember reading about the problem before the turn of the century, and Cisco Systems issued a report by Tony Hain in 2005 saying that "the remaining pool ... will be exhausted in about 5 years." So Hain was a tiny bit generous, but here we are, and now? They're gone.

Skill Level Beginner
Managing pictures in QuarkXPress is just part of the job. When you bring a picture into a picture box in XPress, it doesn't bring the picture file itself in. It simply links to the original file and remembers where it is. If you move that file QuarkXPress can lose the link to the file and you need to reestablish it. In a project like this that uses a number of different pictures it can be extremely important to keep track of them. The commands that are for managing all of that is under the Utilities menu called Usage. There you will see a list of all of the assets in your document including Fonts, Pictures, and more.
In the Pictures area, because I have this picture selected right here, it highlights that picture in the list, tells me what page it is on, what file format it's in and its status. In this case it is OK. The other statuses could be Modified or Missing. If it's Modified, it means that somewhere between the time you put it on the page and the time you are looking at it right now, something changed about that picture file. In that case the Update button becomes alive and you can click on it and it will update the modified picture with the current version.
If a picture is missing, it will indicate that in this column and you can click the Update button and it will allow you to navigate to the location of the picture that's missing and reestablish the link. Now if your picture is buried deeply in a hierarchy of folders or directories, you may not see the full name in this column here. In that case you can simply mouse over the name of the item and it will pop-up a little window that shows you where it is. If you prefer to keep that information showing all the time or if you want more information about your file, just click More Information down here and this window will open up showing you everything that XPress knows about that picture.
Here is an interesting little tip. You can actually select the text in here and copy it. That way you can paste it into a text file, if you need to, to hand off to someone and tell them more about the picture. The one column I didn't mention is the Print column. This can be extremely handy in troubleshooting, because on a QuarkXPress page you can set a particular item to not print and that can be completely mystifying when you print the file and it's not there. By going to the Usage dialog you can see if any of them are set to Not Print and either turn them back on for printing or even turn off other ones that you don't want to print.
If there is a particular picture that you see in the list and you are not sure what it is and you want to find it on the page, simply select it and click the Show button. It will highlight it on the page in the upper left corner of your window. Here is this one and here is this one. Now I'm going to click Done, because we are finished with the Usage window for now and point out a feature in QuarkXPress feature that lets you automatically update modified pictures and check to see if they are changed or missing each time you open the project. In QuarkXPress Preferences which is under the QuarkXPress menu on a Macintosh and under the Edit menu in Windows, if you scroll down to the Project > General, there is an option called Auto Picture Import.
By default it's off, but you can turn it on or set it to Verify. If you turn it on, every time you open your document, any modified pictures in it will automatically be updated. If you click on Verify, it will open the Usage dialog for you if any pictures are modified or missing. From there you can choose to update them as you will. I think this feature is sadly underused and overlooked by most users of QuarkXPress, because it can save you a lot of headaches at the end of your project because you can fix them at the beginning. I'm going to cancel out of here.
Keeping track of your imported pictures can be extremely difficult without a tool such as Usage. You will find yourself going to it very often, because in a real world workflow, pictures change all the time. They get replaced by other pictures and their location changes on your hard drive or on your network.
