Exclusive: 'Percy Jackson' star Logan Lerman frontrunner to be the new 'Spider-Man'
UPDATE (8/11/10) -- Sony Pictures has issued an official denial that Lerman is a contender for the role or that there is, at this point, a short list. That denial was run at Deadline Hollywood by Michael Fleming, and the same source at Sony Corporate wrote to HitFix this evening, 30 hours after our initial attempts to contact them for comment.
Sony's track record on "Spider-Man" story denials is important to keep in mind, however. When development on "Spider-Man 4" was put on hiatus in December of last year, IESB broke the story, and Sony denied it completely. Even when internal memos that explained the hiatus to department heads on the film circulated among film journalists, Sony continued to say there was no interruption in progress on the film. Immediately afterwards, Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire left the picture and the reboot was announced.
HitFix stands behind its initial source on this story, and will bring you further updates as they occur.
The initial story remains intact below.
The search for the new "Spider-Man" appears to be over.
HitFix has exclusively learned that Logan Lerman is first choice for Sony Pictures and the clear frontrunner to replace Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker in the reboot of the blockbuster franchise. A source close to the production tells HitFix Lerman is "almost 100% locked" but not in contract negotiations for the role yet.
Marc Webb ("500 Days of Summer") is directing the new untitled "Spider-Man" which is being written by James Vanderbilt ("Zodiac," "The Losers") and is meant to be a more teen-friendly incarnation, taking Peter Parker back to his early days of balancing girl trouble, homework, and crimefighting. The new film is expected to begin production later this year for a July 3, 2012 release.
Maguire, co-star Kristen Dunst and director Sam Raimi were expected to continue their version of the wall-crawler's adventures until Raimi bowed out after creative differences with the studio earlier this
year. At that time, Sony Pictures decided to re-cast the film and move in a new direction, and had already been developing a reboot script as a contingency plan.
Lerman beats out rumored contenders Anton Yelchin, Jesse Eisenberg, Patrick Fugit and Johnny Simmons.
The 18-year-old Los Angeles native is best known for his role as Percy in February's hit "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief." His other credits include "Gamer," "My One and Only," "Bill," "3:10 to Yuma," "The Number 23" and the TV series "Jack & Bobby" where he played Bobby. Lerman got his start in two Mel Gibson films "What Women Want" and "The Patriot" at the young age of 8.
The attention focused on the casting of this role is not surprising when one considers that, historically, one of the reasons "Gone With the Wind was a phenomenon when it was released in 1939 was the deep investment that the audience already had in the characters thanks to the popularity of the book. Mega-producer David O. Selznick made canny use of the the casting process to hype the film, and the search to find the right Scarlett O'Hara and the right Rhett Butler was international news for a full year.
These days, it seems that the search for each new superhero has become a major sport for outlets that cover entertainment news, no doubt because modern audiences have a major investment in seeing these characters done right. When Sony Pictures decided to reboot "Spider-Man," speculation began immediately, and Lerman was one of the early names bandied about. At the time, those conversations were premature, but it appears that the process has brought Sony back around to the young actor, and now he is poised to wear the familiar red-and-blue costume after all.

Small-hole (keyhole) technology in the utility maintenance industry is the equivalent of microsurgery in the healthcare industry. Smaller-sized keyholes are beneficial because they minimize the disruption of traffic, minimize the requirements for the disposal of spoils, increase worker and pedestrian safety, and result in a smaller and safer work site. Experts will review the keyhole coring and restoration process and discuss its ability to complement other trenchless processes by further reducing pavement excavation.
This program has been approved for .2 CEUs or 2 PDHs. The form to request these credits is included in the handouts for this program.

Having been in this position for eight years, Murv has inspected hundreds of utility cuts and the associated street repairs and can attest to what methods work and don't work.
With the advent of the coring/keyhole/reinstatement process it became clear to Mr. Morehead that this was a far superior method of conducting utility explorations in terms of inconvenience to the motoring public, damage to surrounding pavement and overall acceptance of the finished repair.
Murv will present a case study of his municipalities' experience with the coring/keyhole method and why it is now mandatory that this growing technology be utilitzed for any utility exploration activities within Overland Park that require pavement removal.

Wanna know a little bit more about me? Well, there I am with my hubby Dan and daughter Maya (this is back in 2014).
And in February of 2016, we added our son James to the mix.
Those two tiny humans are pretty much my whole world.
We call Ottawa, Canada home. Back in 2009 when Dan and I found our perfect first home – a sweet little fixer upper bungalow – I started writing this blog about transforming our house into a place we loved on a budget. Holy moly, a lot of those early posts are EMBARRASSING, y'all. But nevertheless, that bungalow helped me figure out how to decorate and find my style. You can check out the bungalow tour here.
Once our daughter came along, we quickly ran out of space in our 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom bungalow. Instead of buying something bigger, we wanted to stay where we were and build up. Plus, then we would get to be a part of the build process, make all of the decisions ourselves, and beef up our DIY skills. Were we a little crazy? Yep. Definitely.
So in late 2014, we undertook a massive renovation to transform that small bungalow into a three story (!!) family home. We are still in the midst of finishing the transformation and hope you'll join us for the ride. You have no idea how ridiculously giddy I am about all the new rooms I have to decorate.
Head on over here for the full house tour.
When I'm not decorating or DIY'ing something, you can find me designing and selling prints, pillows, and other accessories in my online shop, THE SWEETEST DIGS CO. I love to create fun and pretty things to make your home and life just a little sweeter.
More fun facts? Here are 5 things you might not know about me.
1 // I'm a coffee snob, and will accept only a few select brands. Warning: Don't talk to me unless I've had my first Americano of the day.
2 // My very first room makeover was at the age of 13 when I sponge-painted my bedroom yellow. Remember sponge painting? Thank god that's out, amiright?!
3 // I can say the alphabet backwards as quickly as I can say it forwards. This skill sadly has not come in useful so far in my lifetime.
4 // I was born in Ottawa, went away to University and spent some time abroad, but ended up back in my hometown despite thinking I would never come back. I LOVE everything about Ottawa now. Funny how life turns out.
5 // My idea of heaven is a Saturday morning road trip (with coffee in hand) out to the flea markets and garage sales. Follow that up with lunch on a patio somewhere, and then hanging at the park with my kids, and life is officially made.

How far does the principle of religious freedom go? How much can be accepted in the name of respect for a faith? A Paris court is debating these questions in a fraud case against the Church of Scientology. If the public prosecutor wins the case, Scientology will be convicted of extorting hundreds of thousands of euros from followers on personality tests, vitamin cures, "auditing" sessions and counselling with an "e-metre." It will be disbanded and could also face heavy fines. The French arm of the U.S.-based Scientology denies the charges and says the case violates its freedom of religion.
Visiting the Samaritans on their holy West Bank mountain
(Click on the photo above for a slideshow on the Samaritans)
Samaritan High Priest Abdel Moin Sadaqa was relaxing on his porch watching Al-Jazeera on a wide-screen TV when we dropped by his home to talk about his ancient religion. "I like to keep up with the news," the 83-year-old head of one of the world's oldest and smallest religions explained as he turned down the volume. Told we wanted to make him part of the news, more precisely part of a feature on Samaritanism, he sat up, carefully put on his red priestly turban and proceeded to chat away in the fluent English he learned as a boy under the British mandate for Palestine. Our interview with him and other Samaritans were the basis for my feature "Samaritans use modern means to keep ancient faith."
Will Obama address the Muslim world or the Arab world?
When President Barack Obama delivers his long-awaited speech in Cairo on Thursday, will he address the Muslim world or the Arab world? In the pre-speech build-up, it's being called a speech "to the Muslim world" or "to the world's 1.x billion Muslims" (the estimated total mentioned in different articles fluctuates between 1and 1.5 billion). But the venue he's chosen — Cairo — and all the focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict make it sound like a speech to and about the Middle East.

INDIANAPOLIS (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A gaming study committee report was released Monday at the statehouse and committee members say it pretty much closes the door on the possibility of a casino in the Summit City. But the report is being read differently by Mayor Tom Henry.
The study committee indicated that Gary could move one of it's riverboats to a land-based location, reducing the chance that a license would be relocated to Fort Wayne or another city.
Committee Co-Chairman Senator Luke Kenley tells our partners in news the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette that the report should be seen as a discouragement to Fort Wayne and other cities interested in pursing casino gambling efforts.
However, Mayor Henry released a statement moments ago saying the report is good news for Fort Wayne.
Highlighting economic potential in the Fort Wayne market and supporting the idea of a referendum on gaming issues.
Mayor Henry intends to continue to lobby legislators for a casino in the Summit City.

Apparently some people do not respect the sanctity of World Series Week:
Royals ready to talk about Billy Butler deal for teams that would take on DH owed $8 million in '14, $12m in 2015.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) October 22, 2013
Move over, Scott Boras and A-Rod.
Jokes aside, the Royals' reported willingness to see what they can get from Billy Butler is, on the surface, not all that interesting. A team seeing what sort of value they can get from their assets simply makes sense. "Team X should trade Player Y if they can get more surplus value back" is a truism. If the Royals can get more value back for Butler than he is worth, then, yes, they should probably trade him. Of course, on the other side of things, teams should only trade for Butler (or any other player) if they do not have to give up too much. These sorts of unbalanced trades are not really worth discussing in the abstract. What might be more interesting is trying and figure out why the team would want to move Butler given their other needs.
Butler is a designated hitter, and that label is appropriate not just because of his rather unsightly skills at first base, but because of his poor performance on the basepaths: five runs below average in 2013 was actually his best performance on the bases since 2008. Butler can hit, though. He may not have lived up to the expectations of some thus far in his career, and given that he will be 28 in 2014 the time for a big jump in performance is passing him by. His 2013 performance was particularly disappointing for Royals fans (and fantasy owners) since he hit just 15 home runs and had a .124 ISO after he had career bests in those categories (19 and .197, respectively) in 2012. His 116 wRC+ in 2013 was his lowest since 2008.
Nonetheless, we also know that one year of observed performance is not nearly sufficient for determining a player's true talent. Butler's power probably will not live up to his 2012 performance again, but he also improved his on-base percentage. This is not the place to get into every aspect of Butler's offensive game. Steamer does the appropriate age adjustments, regression, and the rest for us, so let's keep it simple and go with that projection for Butler's 2014: .299/.376/.476, 132 wRC+, 2.6 WAR. That is no superstar performance, but two to three wins makes for an above-average player. Butler is owed $8 million for 2014 with a 2015 club option for $12.5 million. That does not project to be a total steal, but one does not have to see the Tim Lincecum contract as market value to see Butler as having a fair bit of surplus value.
What teams have room at DH or might be willing to play Butler at first is a fun discussion, but not one I want to pursue here. Rather, why would the Royals want to consider moving him? After all, despite his struggles (relatively speaking) in 2013, Butler still projects as the team's best hitter, and the Royals offense was pretty horrible in 2013. I do not have any inside information, rather I simply want to consider some possibilities given the Royals' situation.
One obvious possibility is that Kansas City does not expect Butler to be as good as the projection above. This also might be true of other teams. This really does not get us anywhere — obvious Steamer might be too optimistic (or not), but if the Royals do not value Butler all that much, the same might be true of other teams. If the idea is that the Royals are thinking that other teams might overvalue Butler and give up more than he is worth, well, that does seem like a good plan, but that goes into the truism pile of uninteresting possibilities.
Another more interesting angle has the Royals wanting to trade Butler to free up salary. If the idea is to keep spending down, then that would indicate the team is no longer in "win now" mode, which would not make much sense just a year after the James Shields–Wil Myers trade (or as some see it, the Elliot Johnson–Patrick Leonard trade). So that is probably not what the team is thinking.
It makes more sense if the team wants to use the money is to shore up their starting pitching, since Ervin Santana is likely leaving via free agency, leaving James Shields as the only reliable above-average pitcher in the rotation. The Royals have some interesting young pitching talent, and Jeremy Guthrie pitches a lot of innings, but they probably want something more. The idea might be to a) trade Butler for a starting pitcher, b) trade him for prospects and use the saved salary to sign a pitcher in free agency, or c) along the same lines, to use the savings to retain Santana.
Each of those might be worth discussing in detail themselves, but in all three cases the team would be trading hitting for pitching. Runs are runs, but the question is whether this would actually move the Royals forward. Would the Royals be able to trade Butler for a two to three win pitcher, one who does not have a salary much bigger than Butler's? I do not know. Again, if they could rip off another team, sure, they obviously should do it, but that is not worth discussing. A trade of two or three wins on offense with equal surplus value does not necessarily move the team forward unless they have a good replacement for Butler's offense (more on this below). Steamer projects Santana to be roughly equivalent in value to Butler in 2014, and while it would be nice to have him come back, his salary would be substantially bigger than Butler's If the team has to trade Butler to make budgetary space for a pitcher of roughly the same on-field value who costs more, then it would be actually a step back.
Another factor (not exclusive of the first) in the Royals' thinking about Butler might be roster flexibility. Butler's glove, as is well-known, plays best at DH. It is not that he would be the worst first baseman ever (and he probably would not be much worse with the glove than, for example, Prince Fielder), but few teams would put him out there if they had better options. The Royals might think that they could use the roster space better than on a primary DH, especially when Eric Hosmer is going to be around for a while. In the last few years, there has been more emphasis on the added value of multi-position players like Ben Zobrist, and Butler is sort of the opposite of that.
While looking for more roster flexibility in the abstract makes sense (leaving aside any easy jokes about the Royals' roster management skills), in the Royals' case, it is not clear how it actually works as a reason for moving Butler. It is not as if the Royals have someone like Ben Zobrist on the team at the moment, even when Emilio Bonafacio (ahem) is on a hot streak. More to the specific point regarding Butler, they do not have players looking for playing time who hit well enough to DH. A DH needs to be an above-average hitter at the minimum, and aside from Butler, the Royals have only three players signed for next season who project to be clearly above-average hitters: Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer, and Salvador Perez.
Gordon is a good defender in left field, and the team is not so deep with outfielders that he would be a good candidate for frequent time at DH, anyway. Most people think Eric Hosmer is good at first base, and as with the outfield, there is not another credible first base option on the team if he did spend time at DH. That leaves the Royals young and impressive catcher, Salvador Perez. Perez is rightly thought of a defense-first catcher, but though he rarely walks, his decent power and seemingly effortless ability to make frequent and solid contact are enough for Steamer to project him as a slightly above-average hitter (106 wRC+) in 2014. There has been some talk (although it is not clear how much of it is coming from the team) about the Royals wanting to get Perez' bat in the lineup more often, perhaps by getting him at at DH.
Perez is a good hitter for a catcher. But just being one of a bad-hitting team's better hitters is not enough for them to move a superior hitter to get Perez more plate appearances when he is not catching. A 106 wRC+ is nice for a catcher, but this is not Joe Mauer or Buster Posey we are talking about here. Even if we assume Perez would hit just as well in games he was DH (not a straightforward assumption), a 106 wRC+ is hardly great for a DH, and certainly is significantly below Butler's projected production.
Moreover, the Royals would either have to keep an addition emergency catcher around or be willing to risk losing the DH if the player catching when Perez was at DH got hurt during a game. The latter option would not be the end of the world, but the Royals have not shown signs of being willing to take risks like that. Adding an extra catcher to let Perez DH occasionally would rather fly in the face of trading Butler to make the roster more flexible, anyway. The same could be said of replacing Butler with a cheaper DH option or even a platoon — this involves bringing in other players, and those available cheaply likely either would not hit all that well or would not play defense well enough to provide the flexibility at issue.
Does this mean Kansas City should not trade Billy Butler? Not necessarily. The above are just a few speculative possibilities. There may be a larger, more complex line of thinking behind the Royals' rumored shopping of Butler. Maybe the Royals (who tend to play their cards close their vest on these things) are planning to up payroll significantly, bring back Santana, make a run at, say, Carlos Beltran as their primary DH, and trade Butler to fill some other need. Whether or not this is a smart plan for the Royals is another issue, it is simply an example of a more complex off-season strategy that goes beyond the scope of this post.
In any case, while Billy Butler has good projected value even after a down year, and he might bring back a nice piece in return, it is not clear, barring a ripoff trade or a big budget hike (the latter of which would seem to make trading Butler less necessary) how it could really make the Royals better in the short term. But teams have a way of surprising us.

Here Are The Drugs You Should Never, Ever Do
So you might have heard about Rudy Eugene, the face-eating cannibal in Miami who almost fatally gnawed off most of a homeless man's face, before he was shot dead by police. Cops suspect that Eugene, 31, was under the influence of bath salts at the time of the incident.
Now, these reports have yet to be confirmed, and we're hardly people to jump on an anti-drug bandwagon. In fact, we've called bullshit on New York's lugubrious legislative process when it comes to making a decision about medical marijuana and have given Gov. Andrew Cuomo flack for banning synthetic weed.
However, something very important needs to be said. Even if you are the most open minded, experimental person EVAR, there are still drugs that you probably just shouldn't fuck with. It's not a judgmental "drugs are just bad, mmkay thing." It's a "we care about your safety and well being" thing, so please listen! We heart you!
So, if you are smart enough to agree that the potential danger of turning into a cannibal outweighs the potential fun of feeling high, for example, here are some substances you should avoid.

Two people the Voice just chatted with "swear" they "accidentally" did meth. They thought they were snorting coke, only to realize that they had blown the wrong drug. Though that does sound like the most bullshit story ever, the result of their major mess up provides good insight in what not to do. Here's what we were told via GChat: "pleasure only lasts for a little while, but the horrible side effects last a long time... sleeplessness, loss of appetite, restlessness, twitchiness, sweating, stomachaches, disordered thinking, etc." The hangover, this person told us, is far worse than stimulants such as cocaine, e, or mali, which reportedly tend to make you feel like shit for days. Another said: "I was up for four days. Worst four days of my fucking life...the last two days of being awake were awful. I don't know how people get hooked on that shit."
This is the opiate equivalent of meth. In Russia, where heroin addicts have recently had little to fill their fix, the demand for a designer drug has prompted charlatan chemists to turn over-the-counter codeine into a powerful, injectable depressant. Dubbed as "the drug that eats junkies," it tends to kill users within a year of their first hit, and quickly results in gangrenous, open ulcers that rot all the way to the bone.
And you though crack was bad! It is, and you should still consider it on our list, but this drug, reportedly popular in the poorest parts of the Amazon basin, is twice as addictive as crack and five times as cheap, according to the Guardian. A mix of cocaine paste, gasoline, kerosine, and quicklime, it can keep users up for 7-10 days in a "zombie"-like state. Like krokodil, it can kill within a year.
Trainspotting, anyone?
Go read Party Monster and you will get the sense that k-holes aren't all that fun. A friend told us that being on Special K feels like sinking into syrup and being unable to move or think of a way out of it, and called it the worst drug ever.
Fake Weed
You can smoke this and survive, like these brave souls at Gothamist. But we know a handful people who have tried it, and they all say that it hits the lungs far harder than actual marijuana and causes a mildly annoying visual high.
Apparently bath salts aren't the only drugs that turn people into flesh-eating fuckups. PCP has been involved in a couple of cannibalism cases, such as a dad who, while high on PCP, reportedly ate his son's eyeballs. And let's not forget Big Lurch. The rapper is serving a life sentence after killing his roommate and consuming part of her lung. Note: Psychiatrists have said that PCP is not necessarily correlated with more violence, but that acts of violence committed on PCP tend to be more severe.

You may have heard the shocking news
that that the Victorian Government is slashing Environment Victoria's funding
We don't know exactly how much funding we'll lose but here's what we know so far.
On state budget day, the Transport Minister pulled our funding to engage communities on sustainable transport issues. The following day, the EPA ended over 12 months of negotiations with us to develop new ways to help them effectively engage with Victorian communities. Since then, we've been trying to get a clear answer from the Victorian Environment Minister regarding the state's intention for our funding but still no luck.
We don't know what is coming next but it appears the government has singled out Environment Victoria and we fear that all our state funding will be lost.
Our fear was compounded when The Age reported that the Coalition accused Environment Victoria of running a campaign against them and when the Herald Sun reported that the Victorian Treasurer is reviewing Environment Victoria's funding. The same article accused Environment Victoria of being critical of the Baillieu Government and said that senior government members are furious with Environment Victoria's support for a price on carbon.
We don't know if the Coalition is trying to quash environmental activism by coming after not-for-profit groups like Environment Victoria. We hope not. But the fact remains that the Victorian Government funds other peak bodies representing Victorian industries and communities, so why is the environment sector being singled out?
For over 40 years we've received funding from successive state governments to train and educate community leaders to engage in government environmental planning and decisions. And we receive funds to help the most disadvantaged Victorians, including newly arrived refugees, save water and energy. Our campaigns are not funded by the state nor are our core expenses such as rent and administration. So if we lose state funds, it's our environment and the most disadvantaged amongst us who will bear the brunt!
But slashing our funding is a symptom of a much bigger problem.
Since being elected, the Victorian Government has taken many regressive environmental actions – returning cattle to the Alpine National Park, stymieing wind farms while supporting coal and ending discussions to replace Hazelwood with clean energy. Reducing our funding is another clear signal that action toward a healthy environment, clean jobs and a low-carbon economy is not on the Coalition's agenda.
The Baillieu government has come to power at the most crucial time in history for our environment. They have a responsibility to take care of our environment, not make it worse! And we'll keep prodding and poking them so they live up to their responsibilities as caretakers of our environment.
So what's next for us?
We're not going anywhere.
Our campaigns and advocacy work is independently funded by concerned Victorians who want a healthy future and they will continue. But our education work is funded by the state and if these funds are slashed, we'll be forced to cut our programs until we can find new funding sources. One thing is for certain, education is key to a healthy environment and active communities and we must continue this work.
As for our finances, over the past few years we've put in place the Green Future Fund and boosted our fundraising activities to fast-track our transition to financial independence. We'll still take a hit but thanks to the help of our donors, we'll survive any funding loss.
We hope the Baillieu government is not targeting the environment by defunding us. We urge the government to look at our award winning programs they fund and judge them on their merit. When they do, they'll see that they are amongst the best in the country.
We'll keep you posted on any further movements at the station regarding our funding.
In the meantime, we wanted to thank you for your ongoing support for Victoria's environment. We are proud of the work we've done with Victorian communities over the past 40 years with your help. Together, we've helped make our state a better place to live.
At the end of the day isn't that what it's all about?
As a volunteer not for profit community group we could do the work we do without the support of Environment Victoria. We simply don't have the resources.

Good. No reason for taxpayers to fund this NGO.
If envirovic have a strong support base, they will fund it from their own pockets.
Meanwhile, I the dishonesty of the above. EnviroVic pretends that money is not fungible, that government funds earmarked for one matter do not free up cash for organising rallies, hiring more propagandists, letter-writing campaigns and such.
And if Vic is a better place to live, then EnviroVic has succeeded, and does not need more taxpayer funding.
But it is not - you are short of water as no dams have been built in a generation, for example.
So that statement was also dishonest.

Land of Mist and Snow (Mass Market Paperback)
Called to duty at last, Lieutenant John Nevis faces his assignment with trepidation. Boarding the USS Nicodemus—a sloop of war built in a single night at the top of the world—Nevis wonders uneasily at its strange aura of power, its cannonballs of virgin brass . . . and its uncanny ability to glide swiftly through the waters without steam or sail. As great armies clash all around them, the mission of Lieutenant Nevis and the Nicodemus crew is shrouded in an impenetrable gray mist of magic and malevolence. For a fearsome adversary awaits on roiling waves—an awesomely powerful vessel fueled by cruelty and terror; a demon raider driven by an insatiable lust . . . for blood.

Paying A Dividend Is Efficient Capital Allocation 0 comments
I believe that the payment of a dividend should be considered as a continuation of the concept of capital allocation.
Any successful business generates profits. Ideally, firms will invest these profits in opportunities available to generate further profits. However, there comes a point in the life of any successful business when opportunities for growth become rare. If a firm begins to generate more capital than it can reinvest at a reasonable rate of return, there are several options open to management:
a) It can hoard cash and short-term investments.
b) It can reward management.
c) It can re-purchase shares.
d) It can pay a dividend.
a) Hoarding cash does not seem to be rewarded by the market. Firms such as Apple, Microsoft and Cisco have billions of dollars on their balance sheets, none of which is contributing meaningfully to future earnings growth. Personally, this strikes me as indecisive behaviour by management.
b) Excessive compensation for management, essentially for doing their job, has been a bone of contention in recent years and is generally not well received by shareholders.
c) Other articles on SA have shown that, even with the best intentions, share buybacks frequently destroy shareholder wealth by repurchasing shares while overvalued, instead of while undervalued.
d) Management can decide that releasing cash to shareholders is the only feasible option if they cannot otherwise create wealth for shareholders. Rather than building an obscene warchest, or destroying shareholder value, excess funds are allocated to the owners of the business. It is then up to shareholders to decide how to allocate this capital.
However, by paying a dividend, management is realising the limitations of both the management team and the firm (for which it should be lauded) and making a decision with the best interests of shareholders in mind.
Advocates of profit retention will point to Warren Buffet and theoretical models showing that paying a dividend reduces the value of a company. I don't disagree with theoretical models, but they are not always entirely applicable in the real world.
Buffet is an anomaly. BRK can operate as a diversified conglomerate because Buffet is of the best allocators of capital of all time and is recognised as such. However, if the management of PG, CL, KO or XOM decided to stray from their core competencies and start allocating capital to purchasing railways or candy manufacturers, I daresay the market would punish them for it, and justifiably so.
The payment of a dividend is an attempt by management to allocate capital in the most efficient manner, once other options have been examined and discarded.

Favot dished out two assists, giving him 127 career points, moving him past Dan Ringwald (Oakville, Ontario) and into second place all-time in scoring among Division I players at RIT. Tyler Brenner (Linwood, Ontario) recorded a goal and an assist, giving him 99 career points. He needs one more to become the fifth Tiger to record 100 points since moving to Division I in 2005.
Ben Lynch (Blaine, MN) and Sean Murphy (Owatonna, MN) also scored for RIT, who snapped a four-game losing streak to Niagara. Murphy was a force all night for the Tigers, drawing two penalties and generating several great scoring chances.
Niagara?s Paul Zanette scored two goals for the second straight game, giving him seven in three games against RIT this season, and 10 in six career games against the Tigers. He takes over the national goal scoring lead with 29. Ryan Rashid also scored for the Purple Eagles. Brian Haczyk had two assists.
Niagara out-shot RIT, 30-29. RIT goaltender Shane Madolora (Salinas, CA) was strong in net, stopping 27 shots. Chris Noonan stopped 26 shots for the Purple Eagles.
Down 3-2 heading into the third period, Murphy had a strong rush past a defenseman and tried to go five-hole on Noonan, but was denied in the opening minute. The rebound came right to Cameron Burt (Detroit, MI) who rang a shot off the post from the slot.
RIT would tie the game moments later, while the teams were skating 4-on-4. Brenner took a feed from Favot in tight and beat Noonan low for his team-best 24th goal of the season.
Neither team could generate anything of major significance in the overtime session.
Tonight was RIT?s 10th overtime game of the season. RIT is now 2-0-8 in the extra session.
Niagara was 1-for-6 with the man-advantage, while RIT was 0-for-6.
RIT Head Coach Wayne Wilson thought his team responded well to adversity faced heading into the final period.
?We played a much better third period tonight, and responded to a big challenge, coming back and getting a tie,? said Wilson. ?This weekend has prepared us well for the playoff run, in regards to physical play and hard work. Tonight?s tie was a step forward. If we meet (Niagara) in the playoffs we have to take the next step and get the win.?
The Tigers played a controlled, strong defensive first period, scoring twice to take a 2-0 lead.
RIT got on the board just 59 seconds in, as Murphy, on a 1-on-1 rush, fired a bullet of a wrist shot through a screen and past Noonan from the high slot for his fourth goal of the year. Trevor Eckenswiller (Lions Head, Ontario) and Bryan Potts (Niagara Falls, Ontario) assisted on the goal, Murphy?s fourth of the year.
Just past the halfway point of the period, Lynch gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead with his fifth goal of the season, firing a shot from in tight over the shoulder of Noonan. Brenner fed Favot, who came into the zone playing the give and go with Lynch. Favot circled behind the net and fed Lynch at the right wing boards. Lynch was given ample room to walk right in and fire a shot just under the crossbar for the goal.
Madolora was strong in the opening period, coming up with his best save, as Haczyk came in with a full head of steam and tried to go far side, but the Tiger goaltender made a great arm save to keep the puck out of the net.
Niagara came out and dominated the second period, out-shooting RIT, 16-6, scoring three unanswered goals to take a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes.
Zanette scored the first of his two goals 3:18 into the second period on the power-play, as a shot by Ryan Rashid was blocked right to Haczyk. The puck caromed to a wide open Zanette at the side of the net, and he buried into the open side past Madolora, who had no chance.
A little less than three minutes later, Zanette swatted in a rebound in midair, crashing the net off a shot by Giancarlo Iuorio.
Madolora had to come up huge several more times in the period, as Niagara dominated play throughout the middle stanza. Iuorio had a point-blank chance on a 3-on-2 that Madolora made a strong glove save on.
With 38.4 seconds left in the period, Rashid gave Niagara its first lead of the game, deflecting a shot by Kevin Ryan past Madolora for the goal.
?We were caught flat-footed and they completely dominated that period,? said Wilson.
Tonight?s game was the third of three regular season meetings between the two schools this season, who are located just 80 miles apart. On Nov. 19, Zanette scored three straight goals to break a 1-1 tie and give the Purple Eagles a 4-1 win over RIT. Last night, Zanette scored two more goals, as Niagara once again scored three unanswered tallies to defeat RIT, 5-2 in front of a sellout crowd at Ritter Arena.
RIT and Niagara were ECAC West foes in the 1990?s when both were Division III teams. The Tigers are 2-8-4 all-time against the Purple Eagles and are 0-5-2 since moving to Division I in 2005. RIT now has an 11-game winless streak against Niagara, and have not defeated the Purple Eagles overall since Feb. 8, 1997.
RIT, winners of their third straight and fourth Atlantic Hockey Association title in five years, gets a first round bye in the upcoming playoffs. The Tigers will return to action on Friday, March 11, as they host a yet-to-be determined opponent in game one of the best-of-three Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals at 7:05 p.m.

Little Busters!
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance, School
After watching several of the promotional videos as well as other related works from Key, I am pretty excited for this series. J.C. Staff will be handling it but I have confidence in them this time around. The characters and theme of the series sounds interesting and some of the characters reminds me of other Key's works.
This series definitely has my attention so far.
Episode 1
Loved the visual artworks tbh even though I initially had some doubts in J.C. Staff. The OP was pretty catchy. The characters' design are a bit moe especially with the flashback scenes but I can live with that. There were also some priceless expressions on some of the characters' faces so that was also amusing to watch. Only problem I had was with Rin's voice..that part kinda got to me.
The baseball game was amusing as well and the ED is just so-so. It gave me some nostologia of Clannad and Angel Beats! as well as a little of Kanon. But pretty good for a pilot episode so far and definitely going to keep watching this series.

Boy oh boy, were to begin.
Might as well get it out of the way first and say that when JC Staff said that they would be sticking to the original story closely, they really meant that they would be sticking to the original story closely. I dont speak much Japanese, but I watched this episode raw, and I could still follow more or less everything being said, because this episode was practically verbatim to the parts of the game it covered. So much so that it was to the point that they might as well have not hired voice actors at all and could have just saved some cash by lifting the lines from the game instead.
Whether that's a positive or a negative I still haven't really decided yet. Its not just the dialogue that's direct from the game either, many of the effects and stuff like the 'nickname changed' popup and the way it comes in from the bottom are the exact same as the game as well.
I have no complaints regarding the changes to the cast so far. I was a little apprehensive about the idea of Horie Yui as Riki, wasn't terribly impressed by the voice work in the trailers, but I think she's perfectly fitting for the role now that I've heard it.
As for the soundtrack, love the new rendition of the OP song, new version of Alicemagic isn't bad either though I still like the original better), but it would be nice if they would tone down the use of the BGM (all of which is, also, from the game). I swear they had one song or another playing in EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE. and more often than not it was when people were talking, kinda annoying.
Character designs are pretty good. Still not 100% sold on what I've seen of some of them so far in the trailer (Cant escape the feeling that Kud is somewhat lacking in facial definition) but they worked well enough so far, and I do like Komari's redesign alot now that I've seen it in action, very cute( I always thought her eyes were a bit weird, same goes for Haruka...)
Animation wise...well...its not Kyoani. Lots of still images with mouths moving. Not a particularly impressive display, not unwatchable.
But regardless of any faults, perceived or actual, I really enjoyed finally seeing this story in motion and am very much looking forward to more of

Episode 1
So this is the Key series that everyone has been wanting to be made into an anime. Personally I am not impressed, undoubtly I am going to compare this to the shows KyoAni did, and Angel Beats done by P.A. Works, it just does not have the visual flare those series had. I would probably say some problem falls into lack of Moe, the first episode was largely a sausage fest, except for Rin who was probably the best part of the episode. Although Rin's title of being an idol seems to be rather contreived, especially since she seems to be a bit awkward, I liked things from her pitching, and the whole recruiting bit. Riki seems good too, not too much manliness, and being voiced by one of my favourite seiyu is a plus.
I saw that I will need to see more girls foe me to feel this a real good Key show, J.C. Staff often does some nice female characters, so I hope I will enjoy it more.

So, this is Key, right?
Yes, the animation isn't amazing, but it gets the job done. I guess.
There was some good laughs (I especially enjoyed that chicky trying to recruit players.
I suppose that since this is Key, things are gonna get sad near the end? I dunno if I'm going to like this group enough for that...
Either way, I'll watch it through.

Flashback to childhood days was nice too.
It explained some things about their group.
That Kyousuke really is a weird guy with all sorts of ideas.
Recruitment for their newly founded baseball team was another weird one.

Having just finished the visual novel again recently for a second time, my hype levels for the anime were extremely high, as it literally had me laughing straight out loud for most of the duration of the game. The characters are just too damn hilarious. So high expectations for the anime.
Keep calm and trust Key. They know what they're doing.

(For the guys that already know the story)
I'm curious about this show, but I have a couple of questions:
Is this a story like Clannad? I mean, in the sense that they make you laugh at first, lots of jokes and cute girls, and then the hard-cold truth arrives and strikes really, really hard with either a catastrophic past or a terrible present for each girl.
Because if that's the case, then I might watch it. I didn't like Clannad's visual novel all that much (waaaay too long) but I totally loved the anime, that condensed the best bits.

That's Key's MO. All their stuff is like that.
Anyways, I thought it's off to a good start. I was never doom-and-glooming over the studio choice so everything sat with me just fine. My only complaint, not enough Komari! Episode 2 should fix that!
While I have yet to play the VN (waiting for Ecstasy), I have read pretty extensive spoilers. The main manga adaptation aside, the version I've been familiar with for years is the 4koma.

I really like how this show has a good group dynamic where the friends are all likeable and are not all "super nerdy" or ultra pervy stereotypes in most high school visual novel games. I only hope the other females they introduce are not bland.
Be warned this show is more than what it seems. *Wikipedia should not have spoilers damn it

Anyone should be aware of what they're getting into here. I can't imagine how one wanders into Key anime these days without knowing what it'll be. Maybe I shouldn't expect people to be familiar with Clannad, Kanon, Air, or Angel Beats, but they're kind of a big deal. You don't even need to have played the game to guess where things are headed just based on prior experiences. To highlight this, no I have not played Little Busters, and I really haven't read up on it either. But I do know Key and Maeda Jun, and have no reason to expect something else.

Can we agree right now, and I know I said this in the SAO thread (which has not worked out quite right) but NO SPOILERS from the Visual Novels or other media! This is especially important in a Key anime due to how it works so well at lowering you guard and then hitting you in the right spots.
Their anime are experiences, and I want to enjoy the experience entirely.
And to ShinnFlowen, at least I know now to avoid wikipedia, *salute to face being in the sky* we will not forget your sacrafice. I think I may have read a spoiler when I was passing by TV Tropes earlier, but I have tried hard to forget it, but writing this now is not helping.
If I want to discuss the characters I will only use Myanimelist so I can remember who is what, the spoiler should be covered there right? Right?

I only wanted to know if funimation or sentai licensed the show and I ended up looking a bit too far near the bottom and got spoiled. I still think this show is going to do a good job with the comedy/slice of life moments as long as the other females aren't as annoying as the purple haired girl with a lame laugh.

I think Haruka might be the only one to give you problems in that regard... unless you don't mind hyperactive troublemakers.

I'm not sure either. If their breathing is affected I would think they'd have to wait and it would be for the best.

I'm not sure either, but I wish you/the kids good luck and a quick recovery.
It depends. We had to get pedi clearance and call if ds came down with any tiny bug/cold/sniffle etc and be cleare again. It can be life threatening to have a sick patient undergo surgery.

I think only if they are running a fever for general kids. With asthma kids they are a bit pickier but still wouldn't cancel for a runny nose.

100 percent AmericanOctober 02,2012It seems as if the whole thing about where Barack Obama was born refuses to die.
I have an opinion on this matter.
I feel quite certain that Obama was born in Hawaii, just as he claims. I also think that the people who refuse to admit that Obama is a natural-born American are not actually interested in that question, per se. I believe that the whole birther question is really just a racist campaign in disguise. Its point is not to argue legitimately whether he was born in Hawaii or Kenya, but to remind voters that he is black.
Of course, he isnt black. Hes half-black. What does that mean? Nothing, in my book. Not that it matters to birthers.
To me, Obama is 100 percent American, and he is my president, and thats the end of the matter.

I just recently got a new Bach tr300 and the springs on it were alot stiffer than what i was used to, I played it for a little while and realized I actually like the stiffer springs.
In my 'accumilation' I have all different valve spring action types. I have some that I seem to fight to get down and others that are too week for the slippery condition of the valves in that horn. My favorites are both vintage Olds trumpets, an early L.A. made Studio Model and an even earlier Military Model. Every trumpet player who has tried either has commented on the extremely light and fast action of the valves in these two old horns.
Whoops! I just remembered my York Airflow cornet. The valves feel as good as either of my elderly Olds trumpets and the York valves are even much shorter in their stroke length.

One of the most exciting aspects of the sport of golf is its hugely competitive nature, with any single player in an single tournament having the ability to win. Yes, it is true that some players win more than others and every now and again a "Tiger Woods" appears on tour and dominates for a spell.
However, with the Tiger seemingly on the wane, 2011 looks like it could be a reasonably level playing field with several golfers, including Tiger, looking to bring home some of the sport's top prizes, including, of course, at least one of the four major tournaments.
It is interesting to study the end of year world golf rankings and to note that only eight of the top twenty players in the world have ever won a major and of those eight, only four, Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, have won more than one.
This effectively leaves 12 players in the top 20 alone who will be big contenders for a major this year as well as a good many from its outside. They will be looking to join Martin Kaymer, Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen, who were all first-time major winners in 2010.
The following 10 players are those who can be expected to be in the hunt for a first major title in 2011...
