thats a really old advertisement from the very early days of supreme like '94. 95. Print ads, in magazines.I did this before the preview came out looking if there was a hidden sneak-peak or something. But it seems to me they just put random designs in the back.So I went to supreme's main website and accidentally screenshot the site. So I went to delete the photo but something caught my eye so I went to photoshop and lowered the contrast and raised the exposure a bit and found this. It looks like someone tries to finger lol Any ideas? just want to share tho
edit: might be from a calendar.. i dont remember but ive seen it before

Right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a distinctive pattern seen on the electrocardiogram (ECG) that occurs when the cardiac electrical impulse is interrupted as it spreads across the ventricles of the heart.

Read about the heart's electrical system.

Read about the heart's chambers and valves.

Bundle Branch Block

The bundle branches are the electrical pathways that allow the heart's electrical impulse to spread rapidly and evenly through the ventricles, so that the contraction of the heart is well coordinated. There are two main bundle branches - the right (which distributes the electrical impulse across the right ventricle) and the left (which distributes the impulse across the left ventricle).

Bundle branch block occurs when one or both of the main bundle branches are partially or completely blocked. There are two main types of bundle branch block, namely, left or right bundle branch block.

Here is an overview of bundle branch block.

Right Bundle Branch Block

RBBB is a more common, and much less significant, ECG finding than left bundle branch block (LBBB). While RBBB in not common in young people, the incidence increases with age. More than 11% of 80-year-olds have RBBB.

If your doctor tells you that you have RBBB, then an evaluation should be done to make sure you do not have an underlying heart or lung condition. If no such medical condition is present, then your RBBB generally can be considered benign (not harmful).

RBBB and Underlying Heart and Lung Disease

The reason RBBB is not as uncommon as LBBB is that the right bundle branch, as it courses within the muscle of the right ventricle, is relatively superficial (that is, near the surface of the ventricular cavity) for much of its length. This makes it susceptible to damage and stretching whenever the right ventricle is placed under stress of any kind.

RBBB often occurs in any condition that affects the right ventricle. These conditions can include coronary artery disease (CAD), myocarditis (inflammation of the cardiac muscle), atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and valvular heart disease. RBBB may also be a result of any lung condition that causes a chronic elevation in the pressures of the right ventricle - typically, this is seen in some types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Furthermore, RBBB is common with any condition that acutely raises pressures in the right ventricle. The most common condition that does this is pulmonary embolus.

What this means is that if you are discovered to have RBBB, your doctor should take a careful medical history and perform a full physical examination (concentrating on signs of heart and lung disease), and often should consider ordering an echocardiogram to look for unapparent heart disease.

Because the right bundle branch is susceptible to anything that can produce even small trauma in the right ventricle, transient RBBB occurs in approximately 5% of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. This temporary RBBB occurs when the catheter irritates the right bundle branch. The RBBB usually resolves quickly when the catheter is removed. However, in patients who already have LBBB, causing temporary RBBB like this will create complete heart block - and the heart can stop beating. So in patients who have LBBB and who are having a cardiac catheterization study, sometimes a temporary pacemaker is inserted during the procedure, to assure that the heart rhythm will continue uninterrupted during the study.

RBBB and the Efficiency of the Heartbeat

With either type of BBB, the heart's two ventricles are being stimulated in sequence (one after the other) instead of simultaneously. This loss of normal coordination between the two ventricles can reduce the efficiency of the heart beat. However, the reduction in the heart's efficiency is far less pronounced in RBBB than it is in LBBB, and many experts believe that RBBB causes no measurable loss of efficiency at all.

Because LBBB is associated with a loss of cardiac efficiency, it is currently recommended that many patients who have LBBB along with heart failure should receive cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). (CRT is a type of pacemaker that re-coordinates the contraction of the ventricles to improve cardiac efficiency.) But while CRT can produce a significant improvement in cardiac function in heart failure patients with LBBB, there is no evidence that CRT helps very much with RBBB.

Summary

RBBB is itself a benign condition that requires no treatment. However, if you are found to have RBBB, you should talk with your doctor about performing a screening evaluation for underlying heart or lung disease. If none is found, then your RBBB can be written off as an incidental finding with no important medical significance.

Energy Management:
Systems Contracting Weaknesses Continue
RCED-93-143: Published: Jun 23, 1993. Publicly Released: Jun 23, 1993.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6082
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Department of Energy's (DOE) San Francisco Operations Office's implementation of 1989 GAO recommendations, focusing on whether: (1) systems contracts awarded by its management and operating contractors are cost-effective; and (2) the contractors' internal controls over systems contracts are adequate.
GAO found that: (1) the San Francisco Operations Office has not adequately implemented the 1989 GAO recommendations to ensure that its management and operating contractors evaluate and document the costs and benefits of systems contracting before awarding supply contracts; (2) DOE has assessed the adequacy and thoroughness of the Operations Office's action plan and terminated the recommendations in its audit tracking and resolution system; (3) the Operations Office has relied on information supplied by its contractors on the costs and benefits of system contracts rather than conducting independent cost assessment; (4) DOE contractors have not assessed the costs and benefits of contracting for supplies from the General Services Administration as recommended; and (5) DOE cannot ensure that contractors obtain merchandise at the lowest cost, since the Operations Office has not determined the adequacy of internal controls over purchasing at contractor facilities.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOE: (1) required its contractors to perform cost/benefit analyses of systems contractors implemented at DOE facilities; and (2) reviewed the analyses, including those prepared by contractors operating the Stanford and Berkeley facilities, to ensure that they were adequate. On April 20, 1994, DOE also issued guidance on establishing and implementing controls over systems contracts. However, DOE did not review its field offices' plans for implementing the guidance as discussed in DOE's initial response to the recommendations. Further, DOE did not take action to ensure that systems contracts are primarily used to purchase commonly used merchandise specified in the contract, as discussed in the recommendations.
Recommendation: To ensure compliance with June 1989 GAO recommendations, the Secretary of Energy should evaluate the adequacy of actions taken by each DOE contracting activity to ensure that the earlier recommendations were implemented, including actions by the San Francisco Operations Office to assess other systems contracts within its purview. As part of this effort, DOE should ensure that systems contracts are primarily being used to purchase commonly used merchandise specified in the contract.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As is customary, DOE tracked the status of its corrective actions on recommendations contained in this report. In June 1994, DOE certified that all of its corrective actions had been completed. Consequently, DOE terminated the recommendations in its audit tracking system. This certification was premature because DOE had not reviewed its field offices' plans for implementing DOE's new systems contracting guidance. Also, DOE had not taken action to ensure that systems contracts were primarily used to purchase commonly used merchandise specified in the contract, as recommended in the report.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Energy should ensure that appropriate actions have been completed before terminating this recommendation in the DOE audit tracking and resolution system.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much for your patience and welcome to the first quarter 2008 International Coal Group, Incorporated Earnings Call. My name is Bill and I will be your conference coordinator for today. At this time, all of our participants are in a listen-only mode. We will be conducting a question-and-answer session towards the end of today's conference. (Operator Instructions). As a remainder today's conference is being recorded for replay purposes.
I would now like to transfer the conference over to your host for today's presentation, Mr. Roger Nicholson. Mr. Nicholson, you may proceed.
Roger Nicholson
Thank you. Welcome to International Coal Group's first quarter 2008 earnings conference call. I'm Roger Nicholson, Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of International Coal Group. We released our 2008 first quarter earnings report yesterday after the market closed.
With me today on the call this morning are Ben Hatfield, President and CEO of International Coal Group; Brad Harris, Senior VP, CFO and Treasurer; Mike Hardesty, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing; and Ira Gamm, Vice President, Investor and Public Relations.
Before we get started, please let me remind you that various remarks that we may make on this call concerning future expectations, plans and prospects for the Company constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the Safe Harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are made on the basis of management's views and assumptions regarding future events and business performance as of the time the statements were made. Because these forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those implied. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are contained in our filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are also contained in our press release dated April 23, 2008.
Non-GAAP financial measures will also be discussed. You will find a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure at the end of our press release, a copy of which has been posted on our website.
At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Ben Hatfield for his opening remarks.
Ben Hatfield
Thank you for joining us this morning to discuss our first quarter results. We had several positive accomplishments in the first quarter and believe we have turned the corner from both an operational and financial standpoint. While production in January and February fell below our expectations, our March performance was quite encouraging, as we saw notable improvement at most of our mining complexes.
Among the operational highlights in the first quarter, production at our Sentinel complex improved by 31% in March versus February and is on pace for a similar month-over-month improvement in April. Sentinel is now operating very near its planned production rate of 1.5 million tons per year of high-vol metallurgical and premium utility coal.
The Buckhannon complex also delivered a strong first quarter as production improved significantly. Our Eastern operation exceeded planned production in the first quarter despite a 30-day unplanned dragline outage, which is a tremendous accomplishment.
Tempering this turnaround, however, was a slower than expected ramp up in production at the new Beckley complex. Production was affected by labor shortages, supplemental roof support requirements, mine plan adjustments to protect long-term main entries and regulatory delays.
We have implemented new programs to enhance our employee recruiting, training, and retention programs. We expect these actions will result in continued improvement at Beckley in the second quarter. This mining operation is now projected to reach full production in the third quarter.
As our metallurgical coal production at Sentinel and Buckhannon continue to build in the first quarter. We selectively capitalized on the strong metallurgical coal market by signing attractively priced spot contracts for shipment to international markets. We expect to book several more export cargos as the year progresses.
We are also seeing strong interest in Vindex's lower quality metallurgical product, which is expected to enhance performance of that operation over the balance of the year.
Finally, we retained a substantial uncommitted met coal position for 2009 and 2010 at both Sentinel and Beckley, along with smaller amounts at Vindex and Buckhannon.
In summary, we expect to see continued improvement in our operating performance as production from our new mining operations reaches targeted production levels and as higher priced sales contracts kick in.
As this common in an expanding market, some additional cost pressures are also expected, such as price increases for diesel fuel, ANFO and steel and continuing escalation of labor costs.
However, we anticipate that continued favorable market pricing will result in meaningful margin improvement during the year. We believe the strong market demand for steam and metallurgical coal and resulting price strength is sustainable for the foreseeable future. There are several different factors contributing to this strong market demand.
First, broad supply constraints in several coal producing countries coupled with strong demand from developing regions are forcing international customers to look beyond their traditional supply bases. The weak American dollar also has made U.S. coal markets more attractive to European buyers.
Second, Eastern U.S. utilities are back in the market after recognizing that the new pricing structure appears to have a solid base. In the first quarter, utilities began making long-term commitments at prices that were significantly above previous contract prices.
Third, the days of Eastern US coal producers of simply hitting a switch to increase production are long gone. There are now significant impediments to increasing coal production in the US including regulatory issues, reserve depletion, and labor shortages. In fact, despite strong pricing, Eastern coal production is down 1.2% this year while electricity generation is up nearly 1% year-to-date.
And finally, natural gas and nuclear energy each face their own issues. Natural gas carries the burden of higher costs and nuclear is saddled with declining output, aging facilities and long permitting and construction timelines for new reactors.
A combination of these factors leads us to conclude that the current coal pricing strength will have substantial duration. Indeed, we believe the metallurgical coal may have even longer-term pricing strength than steam coal as expansion projects in the US and internationally will only serve to heighten demand.
At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Brad Harris, our Chief Financial Officer, to talk about the first quarter results.
Brad Harris
Thanks, Ben. Turning to our first quarter financial results, ICG reported revenues of $250.9 million, including $225.6 million attributable to coal sales on 4.9 million tons. This compares to first quarter of 2007 revenues of $228.3 million of which $213 million was attributable to coal sales of 5 million tons. The decrease in tons sold is primarily due to the expiration of broker coal agreements.
We reported adjusted EBITDA of $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2008, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2007. Current quarter performance represents a dramatic improvement over results from operations during the last two quarters.
Average revenue per ton for the first quarter was $46.51, compared to $42.75 for the same period in 2007. While cost per ton sold was $42.95 for the first quarter versus $38.98 for the same period in 2007.
For the first quarter of 2008, we reported a net loss of $11.5 million or $0.08 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $8.1 million or $0.05 per share on a fully-diluted basis for the same period of 2007.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization totaled $22 million for the 2008 first quarter, compared to $21.2 million for the first quarter of 2007.
Corporate SG&A for the first quarter was $8.5 million, compared to $8.6 million for the same period in 2007.
At March 31, 2008, total debt was $411.3 million consisting primarily of $175 million of 10.25% Senior Notes and $225 million of 9% Convertible Senior Notes. Our total debt to capitalization ratio was 45% at the end of the first quarter, while our debt to market capitalization ratio was 30%. Total assets for the company were $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2008, compared to $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2007.
First quarter capital spending totaled $29.4 million of which 55% related to the development of new mining complexes and 45% related to support of existing mining operations.
As of the end of the first quarter, we have $54.2 million in cash. First quarter cash requirements include $19.2 million in semiannual interest payments on the Senior Notes and Convertible Senior Notes and $33.9 million in capital expenditures. We retain a borrowing capacity of $100 million under our credit agreement of which $70 million supports outstanding letters of credit.
At this time, I'll turn the call back over to Ben.
Ben Hatfield
Thank you, Brad. I would now like to provide an update on key developments in the first quarter. The ramp up of our new Beckley underground complex in Raleigh County, West Virginia is well underway. Despite some short-term delays, we expect the mine to reach its targeted production rate of 1.4 million tons annually in the third quarter.
The Sentinel complex has nearly achieved its projected production rate of 1.5 million tons per year. The price realization outlook for Sentinel's product is exciting and we anticipate that significant amounts of its production will be sold in to the export metallurgical coal market.
The West Virginia Surface Mine Board has reissued the mining permit for our Tygart No. 1 complex. We are currently awaiting one additional governmental authorization, which we expect within the next three months.
Pipe construction is expected to begin in the third quarter, with production projected to begin in late 2009. At full output, Tygart No. 1 is expected to produce 3.5 million tons annually of high-volatile metallurgical and premium utility coal. The pricing outlook for this product is very favorable in the current market environment.
We are very pleased that our ICG Eastern subsidiary received a prestigious Mine Reclamation Award from the Interstate Mining Compact Commission. This national honor is awarded annually to only one coal mining operation in the entire United States. The award represents our commitment to complying with environment regulations at all of our operations.
On a disappointing note, the ICG Illinois Viper mine had a difficult first quarter due to a roof fall in January and a two day unplanned elevator outage that hampered output. The mine has now returned to normal operating mode and we still expect this team to meet their 2008 production goals.
During the first quarter, we concluded several steam coal contracts for 2009 and 2010 delivery, and a small amount for 2011. We focused on selling our lower Btu and higher sulfur coals first, due to the relatively low current emission allowance costs. We also booked strong spot prices for 2008 steam coal, but reserved a portion of the uncommitted tons for monthly spot market sales over the balance of this year.
Turning now to our committed sales for 2008 and 2009; for 2008, the company is committed and price sales are approximately 19.5 million tons, or about 95% of current planned shipments. Price volume for 2008 averages $48.50 per ton, excluding freight and handling expenses. Approximately 35% of the 2008 unpriced tonnage is metallurgical coal. For 2009, committed and priced sales are approximately 15.4 million tons, or about 75% of projected shipments. Price volume for 2009 averages $52.10 per ton, excluding freight and handling expenses. Approximately 34% of the 2009 unpriced tonnage is metallurgical coal.
For 2010, committed and priced sales are approximately 7.4 million tons, or about 35% of projected shipments. Metallurgical sales for 2010 are expected to be approximately 2.6 million tons, virtually all of which is unpriced.
Turning now to our outlook for 2008 and 2009, we have updated our guidance. For the full year 2008, we continue to expect to sell approximately 20 million tons at an average selling price of $51 to $52.50 per ton. Our previous guidance was $47 to $48 per ton.
Coal production in 2008 is expected to total approximately 19 million tons of which approximately 2 million tons is expected to be sold is metallurgical coal. We expect our average cost per ton sold in 2008 to be in a range of $42 to $43.50, excluding selling, general and administrative expenses.
For 2009, we expect to sell 20 million to 21 million tons at an average selling price of $58 to $63 per ton based on recent price indications and contracting activity. Our previous guidance was $51 to $53 per ton.
Coal production in 2009 is expected to total 19 million to 20 million tons of which approximately 2.2 million tons is projected to be sold is metallurgical coal.
Export shipments for 2008 are expected at approximately 3 million tons, split about evenly between metallurgical and steam coal. Exports are also expected to remain strong in 2009.
Capital expenditures are expected to total approximately $157 million in 2008 and $192 million in 2009. Our outlook for 2008 and 2009 is much stronger today than it was during the previous quarter's call. We expect that demand for metallurgical and steam coal will continue to grow. The demand from international markets will continue to positively affect the price of coal. And that Eastern US production will continue to be relatively constrained. Taken together, we expect these conditions to support continued price strength and improved operating results for ICG throughout this year and next.
At this time, I'll open the call for your questions.
Questions-and-Answers Session
Thank you very much, sir. (Operator Instructions).
Our first question comes from the line of Brett Levy at Jefferies & Company. Please proceed.
Brett Levy - Jefferies & Company
Hey, guys.
Ben Hatfield
Brett Levy - Jefferies & Company
Let we'll start with by most folks estimates the miss for the quarter was about 10 million. Can you describe bits and pieces of the Delta to the Beckley delays, the labor shortage, the shortages of roof supports, etcetera? Is there any way versus where you had hoped to be for first quarter putting a little bit more granularity there?
Ben Hatfield
I really can't break it in to that level of detail, but clearly the biggest piece of it is the slower ramp up at Beckley and the slow, but eventually achieved production output at Sentinel. So I think the production shortfall at those two key operations is the biggest piece of it.
Diesel fuel is another huge piece. I'm not sure what assumptions are out there with respect to diesel costs, but price per gallon is probably a dollar north of what it were a year ago. And that's on the order of; let's call it $6 million to $8 million per quarter kind of financial impact, so it is substantial.
So, when you kind of wrap it all together, the labor cost increases that are just part of the market that we're in, and the diesel fuel increase year-over-year, and then the slower ramp up at those two new operations, I think you've captured most of the problem area.
Bret Levy - Jefferies & Company
And then you guys have done a previous call guided to a second quarter '09 funding gap where you probably need at some point to go back to the market and raise a bit more capital, based on these stronger markets is that still the rough timing?
Ben Hatfield
We're still looking at that, but I would simply say that, at this point our forecast would be more positive than they would have been when we discussed this last quarter. Certainly, revenue is significantly higher, expected margin significantly more attractive. So, there is a substantial possibility that that funding crunch could be significantly reduced and even significantly delayed. So, we think the outlook with respect to that pending need for funding on our capital spending is much more favorable than would have been the case a quarter ago.
Brett Levy - Jefferies & Company
All right, and then on the permitting side, I think the bulls in this stock probably are looking at the possibility of $200 buck a ton margins in 2011 on 6 million tons of met coal, and what's the nominal EBITDA would flow out of that. Can you talk a little bit about for the Tygart piece of the puzzle, what the permitting hurdles are right now? Do you need the fourth circuit to overturn something, or are the permitting issues a little easier than that?
Ben Hatfield
Actually, with respect to the Tygart project the issues are much less complex. The Tygart permit delay is really just part of the regulatory environment that we're currently in and it is not encumbered by the instance the Chambers' Decision in Southern West Virginia Federal District Court on Valley Fields.
The Tygart complex permits are approved by the Pittsburgh office of the Corps of Engineers and that region is not impacted by the Chambers Decision. So truly, the Tygart project is just moving forward with the normal permitting constraints.
We have cleared the hurdle with respect to state requirements. You may recall that last year we received a state permit. That permit was challenged. We went through an extensive hearing and presented evidence. Essentially, we received a favorable outcome from the State Board that reviews those permit challenges. But they did ask us to go back and incorporate some of the technical data that we presented during that hearing in to the actual walls of the permit, within the actual permit application.
So, we went through that process with them. They've now reissued the Tygart permit, so we're moving forward full steam ahead with respect to the state approval and are only waiting for the federal approval from the Corps at this point.
Brett Levy - Jefferies & Company
Okay, so again, it starts to look like a 2011 story. You guys talked about 2.6 million tons of met tons in 2010. Could you double that in 2011?
Ben Hatfield
It's too far, we have to try to speculate, but we believe certainly there is an upside with respect to the 2010 forecast. Because we've made them pretty conservative assumptions with respect to what portion of the Sentinel operation production and the Tygart operation production will be sold in the metallurgical market. That's very much a market decision, because there are a lot more tons coming out of the mine and we have to make our own judgment and assessment as to how much can get the best margin going to the met side, and how much can get the better margin going to the steam coal side.
So, there is some subjectivity in it, some flexibility that's going to be driven by market factors. So, I can only say I think there's upside. I wouldn't want to speculate on how much that met tonnage might be in 2011.
Brett Levy - Jefferies & Company
All right, and then on the previous call Consol, they've talked about being able to sell met coal at $240 at the mine in the spot market right now. Would you concur with that pricing dynamic?
Ben Hatfield
We are seeing some pretty phenomenal pricing opportunities. I don't want to comment on specific transactions, because obviously, we have active negotiations with customers as we speak. But we are seeing some pricing indications that could very easily approximate $200 on met coal for spot cargos. I think it's yet to be determined what the kind of normalized price is going to be going forward, because we're in a pretty dramatically-changing environment. Fortunately for us, all the changes seem to be moving in a positive direction. But we don't want to get in numbers out there that are distracting. But certainly, we have seen in our activities some mine prices that could certainly approach that $200 dollar level.
Brett Levy - Jefferies & Company
Thanks very much. I'll get back in queue.
Thank you very much, sir. Ladies and gentlemen, your next question comes from the line of John Bridges of JP Morgan. Please proceed.
John Bridges - JP Morgan
Hi, Ben and everybody.
Ben Hatfield
Hi, John.
John Bridges - JP Morgan
Just following up from the previous caller, as was said Consol is talking about a price X mine that in excess of $200 a ton, and presumably that's what you're going to see for your low-vol coal out of Beckley. But then you're producing different grades of coal as well. Could you characterize the different grades? Well, I know you've got some high-vol there, but could you characterize the different grades of met coal that you're producing and help us sort of pin down a little bit closer the pricing? Peabody did give us that guidance for Australia.
Ben Hatfield
I'm going to ask Mike Hardesty to address your questions and we'll try to keep it simple, because it can get complicated if we get in to too much detail, Mike Hardesty can answer that question better than me.
Mike Hardesty
Hello, John, this is Mike. In general, I think we've been very conservative with our projections and I'll focus on 2009 as that's where most of the volume is exposed. We used for our high-vol products 100 to 130 in our range, and for our low-vol products we used 130 to 160 in our ranges. So I think we've been very conservative.
Certainly, the Beckley coal that we had it available right now, would be equal to, I think, what Consol is touting for their product. We take a discount for our Vindex low-vol because it is a higher ash, higher sulfur product. And to a certain extent our Buckhannon product takes a discount also due to the higher ash, higher sulfur.
John Bridges - JP Morgan
That's very helpful. Thank you very much
Thank you very much, sir. (Operator Instructions). Our next question comes from the line of Justine Fisher of Goldman Sachs. Please proceed.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
Good morning.
Ben Hatfield
Good morning, Justine.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
As far as procurement of equipment for mines and labor, may be this is a tough to question, but are you guys finding that some of the larger companies that produce more are getting priority for ordering some equipment or for obtaining labor?
Ben Hatfield
With respect to the equipment issue; first, I would not say that we have seen that. I mean, certainly, vendors are influenced by the size of the customer dealing with, but they also have a pretty well established queuing system, if you will, for people that place orders. At least in our experience to this point they are honoring that queuing system, and if you place your order in a timeframe, you're going to get it delivered. At least if it's delayed, it'll be delayed in sequence with everyone else's. I haven't seen any bias per se at favoring a larger producer over a small one.
But generally speaking the larger companies, including us, are going to have some advantage in that we can make a larger commitment sooner. Whereas, a small producers, single-mine kind of operations may be more constrained to getting their credit lined up and things of that nature. So oftentimes, we can kind of deliver a commitment sooner for a longer period of time and that's an advantage. But otherwise, I think you pretty much just have to get in the queuing system and they deliver the machine when it's ready.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
Okay, and then as far as export versus keeping domestically. I know, when all the coal companies report in the same week we can always talk about what everybody say on their conference calls. But Consol just said that they are trying to sell more domestically for relationship purposes. I was wondering whether you guys, if you had your druthers, would prefer to sell coal to the export market or prefer to start cementing relationships with utilities in the US with some of your newer tonnage coming on line from newer mines?
Ben Hatfield
I'll speak to that and then I'll let Mike add to it, if he wants to comment further. But in short, I think we like a balance. We haven't tried to chase 100% export or 100% domestic. We think there is a happy medium there, where we enjoy sometimes the greater predictability and longer term stability of the domestic relationships and at the same time participate in what oftentimes are higher margin export sales.
That also in some respects can help from the standpoint of rail service and, again, predictability of demand because obviously export boats can get delivered at different times and delayed for different reasons and it can be pretty challenging sometimes to plan around a 100% export schedule. So the short answer is we like a balance and, Mike Hardesty, do you want to add anything to that?
Mike Hardesty
I totally agree and our exports will grow on the metallurgical side as our production ramps up. But on the steam side, I would just as soon sell to our traditional bread-and-butter utilities where there is a lot less complications. Transportation has been mentioned and they're really our long-term future.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
Okay, and then as far as contracts for, let's say 2009 or 2010 for steam coal, for those contracts that are still in negotiation, would you think that it's the coal companies or the utilities that are stuck right now as far as actually putting those contracts to bed?
Ben Hatfield
I'm not sure I understand your question.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
I think a lot of producers have said that they're still in discussions as far as selling remaining '09 and 2010 tonnage. And it seems obviously that there can't be an agreement on price, but would you say that it's the coal companies that are waiting to sell at higher prices, or the utilities that are balking at current prices?
Ben Hatfield
I think, again, I can only speculate, because I'm not on the utility side of it, but I think it's a fair observation that utilities are trying to stay out of the market as much as they can. Because obviously prices are at phenomenal levels versus where they were a year ago, and so just from a standpoint of planning their business would try to minimize near term sales as much as they can.
So, in some respects we are waiting for utilities to come in with solicitations. We saw a bunch of them come through in the February, March timeframe and we responded and planned some very attractive business. We expect that cycle to continue.
Some utilities are going to roll out solicitations quarterly, some only twice a year or once a year. So the pattern varied a lot by the buyer. But I would think the biggest driver, generally, is the utilities kind of coming to a decision that, okay, now is the time to buy and this is the best deal I'm going get and moving forward with it.
Certainly, you have coal companies that are trying to keep some dry powder so to speak for market improvement and that's a factor, but I don't think that's the biggest factor with respect to how quickly these commitments are being made.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
Okay, and then the last question is on the cost side. It seems as though a lot of the coal companies that have been reporting for well, I guess every single one just has had rising costs, but the Monterey said that's okay because prices are rising too. Is there any room to maneuver on the cost side downward, if prices do decline? I know that everyone is finding prices at significantly higher levels and so, at the moment that doesn't seem to be a problem. But if pricing does stagnate, is there any room to move costs downward?
Ben Hatfield
Again, for one thing, I mean the commodity piece of it is pretty much out of our control, except to the extent that we can make term commitments for diesel or steel products or things of that nature that may help moderate the cost escalation. So, on commodity part of that, we're pretty much at the risk of the market and that's going to be oftentimes kind of an annual escalation issue. With respect to labor, I think we're going to have to pay the market and our competitors are going to have to do the same, so you are going to see continuing increases in labor costs as we have to stay competitive to maintain staffing and reduce turnover.
As far as a kind of going forward reaction to try to keep costs under control, you're generally going to see coal companies focus on opportunities may be where transportation costs are diminished. You're going to probably see capital projects move forward to try to eliminate trucking to try to get costs down, particularly in an environment where you've got diesel that's driven by $120 crude. So you want to see perhaps like capital focus on reducing costs and that's likely to become a common discussion point among many in the industry.
But much of the stuff, we pretty much just have to deal with the market as it faces us. You can invest in projects that will get costs down. You can try to focus on the thicker portions of your reserve to try to keep costs under control, but that's normally something we do anyhow regardless of what the price is.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
Okay, thank you very much.
Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, your next question comes from the line of Laurence Jollon of Lehman Brothers. Please proceed.
Laurence Jollon - Lehman Brothers
Good morning. Brad, your cash balance decreased a little bit more, not a lot, but a little bit more than I thought it would in the quarter. And depending on the timing of improving results, and I know the outlook is very favorable, if you have to draw down on some of your revolvers are you apt to draw down on your Caterpillar facility first to avoid tripping any other covenants?
Brad Harris
I think the short answer to that is yes. We've run the models and we're certainly re-forecasting what we're looking at the balance of the year, and we are not concerned about tripping any of the financial covenants under the line. But we are certainly looking at financing some of the equipment purchases for the latter part of this year. Some of the things based on our cash position previously we were buying a lot of that equipment outright. But given, to say the uncertainty or the market as it is right now, we are starting to take a look at and take more advantage of our Cat financing in the near term for current equipment acquisitions.
Laurence Jollon - Lehman Brothers
Okay, and then just on your revolver, have you guys been in conversations with your lenders about just getting some relief ahead of time just to take the covenant issue off the table, or are you just so confident that you aren't not going to worry about it?
Mike Hardesty
Again, like I said, we ran our models. We don't see the covenant conflict right now based on our projection period. Plus, we see, as Ben indicated, increased performance for the balance of the year, which will continue to take pressure off of that. So right now, we're certainly in discussions with the bank on a regular basis, but we have not entered in to, nor currently perceive the need to modify covenants at this point.
Laurence Jollon - Lehman Brothers
Okay and then last question, I may have missed this in hopping between calls, regarding Tygart are you still considering a JV partner there, or given more favorable financial results for your company are you going to try to do it all alone?
Ben Hatfield
I think the short answer is we haven't made a firm decision on it, but we continue to receive interests, particularly from potential buyers of that coal. Even since our last call, further inquiries from people that have interesting working with us on that project. I think it's clear to say that we have less pressure, if you will, to bring someone else in. Certainly, with the broader margins the more positive outlook, we certainly have more flexibility.
But I think we continue to have interest in that kind of discussion, particularly if it helps us secure a contract position, a coal supply agreement position if you will, at prices that we're comfortable with. So, I think it's the kind of project that certainly fits well with the customer relationship kind of a JV. But we certainly are in position where we can quite honestly pick and choose whether we go that direction or not.
Laurence Jollon - Lehman Brothers
Thanks for your time.
Thank you very much, sir. And at this time, we have no further questions in queue. We do actually have a follow-up from Justine Fisher at Goldman Sachs. Please proceed.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
Sorry, a one more question. You must have a substantial reserve position and I was wondering if you guys are getting phone calls from people potentially trying to buy some reserves off of you given the current coal market environment?
Ben Hatfield
Well, I'm expecting that we're going to have that kind of interest. I won't say that there are any substantial deals in the works or anything of that sort. But certainly that's a reaction that we expect given the strong interest in the coal market and people looking at opportunity to expand production. And we may identify selective areas of reserves that are so far out in the mine plan that they don't have a great deal of value to us and we may want to divest those.
But there's nothing imminent, no active discussions, and so at this point we're pretty happy with the position that we have. It gives us a lot of growth opportunities going forward, a lot of flexibility on where we expand and when we expand.
But it's certainly possible that over the next couple of quarters that that kind of thing could happen, because your point is right on target. We have nearly 1 billion tons of coal covering four or five states and there certainly could be some opportunities may be to sell a portion of it, someone is going to do something with the center.
Justine Fisher - Goldman Sachs
Okay, thanks very much.
Ben Hatfield
Thank you very much, ma'am. And at this time we have no further questions. I'd like to turn the call back over to management for their closing remarks.
Ben Hatfield
Thank you. International Coal Group is looking forward to the balance of this year, as we enter the summer with improved coal pricing and the well timed startup of our new operations. We also believe that timing is remarkably favorable for development of the new Tygart No. 1 mine given the new pricing environment. We look forward to breaking ground later this year. We hope you share our anticipation. Thank you for your interest in International Coal Group. We look forward to joining you again next quarter. Have a good day.
Thank you very much, sir. And thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your participation in today's conference call. This concludes your presentation for today. You may now disconnect. Have a good day.

Gift card sales were an out-performer in the retail sector this holiday season.
Open network branded card sales rose 7.3% this year while retailers saw gift card sales shoot up 10, according to Corporate Executive Board.
The consumer trend toward more gift card usage should provide a lift to MasterCard (MA +0.8%) and Visa (V +0.3%) as well as adding at least some support to retail sales in Q1 of 2014 as sales are booked.

Most people see their pets as part of the family, so they will do anything they can for them.
This includes buying what they perceive to be the very best pet food.
A poll earlier this year, cited by Bloomberg and conducted by market research firm Mintel, found that 79 percent of pet owners consider the quality of pet food to be as important as the quality of food given to the rest of the members of the family.
This fondness of people for their pets should tell alert investors there may be an investment opportunity here.
Pet Food Market
The global market for dog and cat food is massive. . .about $67 billion annually.
In the United States, the market is four times the size of that for baby food and about twice the size of the coffee market.
Bernstein Research found that the compound annual growth rate in the pet food market in the developed markets is twice the rate of growth of human personal care items, at 3-4%.
The two main makers of dog and cat food are privately-held Mars (best known for its chocolates) with its Pedigree and Whiskas brands and Swiss food giant Nestle SA ADR (OTCPK:NSRGY) with its numerous Purina brands (Purina, Alpo, Beneful, etc.). Both have about a 20 percent share of the market.
Two other well known players in the industry are Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE:CL) with its Hills brand and Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) with its Iams brand. Each brand controls roughly 4 percent of the dog and cat food market.
Nestle's Success
A closer look at Nestle's pet food business shows that it is quite successful.
It is the company's second most profitable business, behind only coffee. And like the company's Nespresso coffee pods business, dog and cat food often is sold in one meal servings.
Morgan Stanley analyst Eileen Khoo told the Financial Times she believes that 20 percent of Nestle's growth in earnings the next few years will come from the pet food business. She said, "It's one of the hidden jewels in Nestle [and] has the highest return on capital at over 25 percent."
Khoo expects the division to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5 percent through 2015. She also expects margin improvement of about 80 basis points per year.
This may prove to be a conservative estimate based on Nestle's otherwise weak first-quarter 2013. Pet food grew the most of all categories, rising 7.9 percent year-on-year. Nestle's did particularly well in selling pet food in the emerging markets.
Speaking of the emerging markets, pet ownership in China has exploded as capitalism spreads. The country's pet food market seems to be moving into high gear as the population becomes more wealthy.
According to Euromonitor, pet care spending will nearly double by 2017 in current prices. This will bring spending on pets to $2.1 billion by that date.
This still relatively small number should expand rapidly in the years ahead, benefiting Nestle and others with a large presence in China.
Spinoffs Coming?
But what about the other two players in the market, Colgate and P&G?
Many observers believe that eventually their pet foods business will be spun off to shareholders. With both Hills and Iams having turnover in the $2 billion range, any spinoffs will likely have a price tag of $2.5-$3 billion each.
Pet food accounts for some 13 percent of Colgate's revenues though. So it may not want to part with Hills just yet, hoping to revive the no growth brand with a move toward a focus on being consumer friendly through the introduction of more natural products.
P&G did strengthen the Iams brand somewhat in 2010 with the acquisition of the Natura brand. But the patience of the company's management may be running thin on this division.
Pet Store Chains
The lure of profits from dog and cat food has also lured in the major pet store chains, closely-held Petco and PetSmart (NASDAQ:PETM), with its more than 1,200 locations.
Petsmart is especially keen on premium and organic pet foods. The company sells grain-free Innova Prime dog food made from chicken, turkey and peas for a pricey $52.99 for a 25-pound bag. It also sells 33-pound bags of Blue Buffalo Life Protection foods for $51.99. Regular dog foods sell for less than half that price for a similar bag.
These high-priced premium brand pet foods no doubt have played a major role in the company's success over the past several years. Petsmart's stock more than tripled from 2008 through 2012 and has held its own this year.
The takeaway for investors is that the pet food business is growing and is a profitable one.
Nestle and Petsmart look like good investments. And any spinoff of Hills or Iams could turn out to be a 'tasty' investment.

what are things that i will need to purchase for post op brazilian butt lift? and how soon can you take a shower after the surgery?
Procedure for Post Op?
Doctor Answers 2
What you need to purchase for after your Brazilian Butt Lift?
What you can and can't do after the Brazilian Butt Lift should really be determined by YOUR surgeon. We all have different ways of doing things. How your surgeon performs this surgery will dictate what you can or can't do. If the surgeon you choose can show you pictures of patients who he/she has operated on who have really GREAT results.....don't you think you should follow their recommendations? If it has worked for other patients of theirs, it'll most likely work for you.
I have a very strict routine that I tell all of my patients to follow which works great for my patients, but it doesn't mean it'll be the best thing for the surgery and technique that your surgeon is using.
Talk to your surgeon who knows you and knows what they will be doing for you.

HOLTVILLE — The Holtville High School boys basketball team took the lead, lost it, then took it back after a breathtaking final 42 seconds of action in a 47-44 victory over Imperial here Friday.
Down five with 42 seconds remaining, the Vikings (3-12 overall, 2-1 Desert League) put on a flurry of offense and defense to close the gap.
Viking Jacob Freeman cut the lead to four with a free throw and Holtville got the ball back when Alex Perez stole a pass during Imperial's ensuing possession.
Attempting to pull within two, Freeman put up a shot from the baseline that was blocked. He recovered the ball with 25 seconds to play and found Michael Strong for a three-pointer, cutting the deficit to one with 23 seconds to go.

Did your hospital or midwife allow eating during labor? Most of us MomCavers weren't allowed to eat once we arrived at the hospital. The reasoning behind this (barbaric, in our opinion) practice is that in an emergency, general anesthesia may be used and any food eaten could aspirate into the lungs. While this may be a concern in very rare cases, most laboring moms are doing the most physically demanding work of their lives and could use some sustenance.

ACC Requests Changes To Proposed Water Intake Structure Rule
Source: ChemicalProcessing.com
Mar 31, 2011
The Environmental Protection Agency underestimated the costs businesses would incur from proposed standards for cooling water intake structures at manufacturing facilities and power plants, the American Chemistry Council said in a statement released March 29.
ACC has requested the EPA exempt smaller facilities and broaden technology choices to mitigate potentially high compliance costs.
The EPA estimates capital costs of $40,000 per facility over 10 years. But according to an ACC analysis projected costs are $185,000 to $1 million per technology over the same period.
"We welcome the flexibility provided in these proposed standards," said Mike Walls, ACC vice president of regulatory and technical affairs. "By avoiding a 'one size fits all' approach, the rules can be more effective and achievable. Businesses will be able to develop site-specific compliance plans and apply the most advanced technologies."
ACC will file comments on the proposed rule by the 90-day deadline.

Problem accesing all my google APS on Salaxsy S5
I am using Android on Smasung S5.
In the last few days, i was not able to access any Google Apps or any Google websites through Chrome.
For example when i try to load Google main site on Chrome, i get the msg :
Cannot connect to the real "www google com"
When i try to access other websites on Chrome (such as yahoo.com) it works without a trouble.
When i use Firfox i have no trouble to access any sites. Even all the Google sites that i can not access through Chrome.
I also have a problem to set up Google account as when trying to set up my Google account i get a msg of "Couldn't sign in". Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
No other google Aps work as well , but all other Non-google Aps works.
I have other Android machine (Nexsus 7) and there is no problem with the account.
I have tried couple solutions :
1. Checksing the time and date - no prolem there
2. Unistalling my Anti-virus (AVG)
3. Rebboting after taking the battary and SIM out
4. Cleaning the Cache at the Chrome
But none of them help
Have you any idea how to sole this one as i am really desperate
Many thanks,

Re: Problem accesing all my google APS on Salaxsy S5
Uninstall a chrome then reinstall and see if that helps. Also, make sure you are actually going to the real website and it being redirected somewhere else because of a prediction or url suggestion.

The Church of Santa Maria Novella
... time we went to the Santa Maria Novella Church, which is opposite the train station, and has the same white marble facade as the Santa Croce Church. Now this is a church I would seriously recommend above many of the others. The artwork is superb and you can get up close to all of the paintings, tombs, frescos, plus you are allowed to sit in the church and drink in the sights. Plus the tourists were fewer, with barely a tour group to be seen! The Church was ...
Florence and Pisa
... was an older Canadian couple sitting at the table next to us who we started chatting to that were really lovely.
After mains were cleared, Zio Gigi started leaving bottles of Limoncello with glasses on tables for the guests to enjoy. Marc and the Canadian man had a few serves so we ended up leaving a generous tip. It was a really wonderful evening and more of a night out rather than just a dinner outing. So many laughs ...
... of stairs. The hotel was located just off La Ramblas, in the Barri G�tic, or old section of Barcelona, so a real feeling of history all around us, amidst seemingly endless narrow streets, which would suddenly open up to a courtyard. We love this area.
This was our second visit to Barcelona before boarding the Royal Princess the next day, so we spent it out seeing the sights of this wonderful and and vibrant city! We jumped on a ...
Bonjiourno Italy!
... a big night out at a popular karaoke bar called the Red Garter. But Tartare warns us on the bus that tomorrow is a huge tour day jam packed with activities so to just be warned. The other thing Tartare warn us about is the free pour at bars in Italy. There are no such things as measuring a thirty millilitre shot into a drink, they just pour until they think its enough and as long as you can somewhat put a sentence together and stand at the bar they will serve ...
Wine Tasting in Tuscany
... I know we were all happy with our choice for the day and our freedom to pick what we wanted to do on our dream Italian vacation.
In the morning (before the tours), Kathlee and Amy went out for a walk around the City and to window shop. I wanted to find a coffee shop with wi-fi where I could just sit and write about our trip on the blog. I thought it would be a fun experience to sit in an Italian coffee shop and write and people watch. Kara joined me in the cafe hunt. We found ...

This oil is a great price and I always buy a small bottle as it goes off after a while. It should be kept refrigerated after opening. It always arrives fresh even though it has been unrefrigerated due to mailing overseas; just put it in the fridge after opening. Great for getting your omega oils.

Woman helps dogs - level 3
18-09-2015 07:00
The hope for these dogs is that they'll be adopted. This dog shelter cares for dogs who are partially paralysed after being hit by cars. The Milagros Perrunos dog shelter in Peru has helped pups who were literally on their last legs. Now they're wheeling around and playing again.
Sarah Moran doesn't make any profit from running the shelter and relies on donations to pay for food, toys and wheelchairs. She says she'd like to do more, but the budget's really small, so they can't help any more.
Six of the dogs are in wheelchairs and three have had a leg amputated. With 50 dogs in the shelter, it may take a while for each of them to find a new home.
Difficult words: dog shelter (a safe place for dogs who need help), literally (exactly), on their last legs (this is a pun – the dogs had no legs and the dogs were in a bad state), profit (the money that you make), donation (the money which is given by people who want to help), budget (the amount of money available), amputate (to cut off).
