Europe has styled itself a global green leader, and has some ambitious plans to reduce emissions. Within the European Union, Germany has attempted to blaze this new green trail, unveiling a comprehensive green energy strategy that involved boosting wind and solar energy with guaranteed long-term, above-market rates for producers. But Germany also began shutting down its nuclear reactors in the wake of the Fukushima disaster, and to make up for the loss of that consistent source of base load energy it has had to burn record amounts of coal. Now, Berlin's reliance on coal isn't just tarnishing its own image as a paragon of green virtue, it's also threatening emissions goals across the European Union. Bloomberg reports:
While Germany pledged to cut heat-trapping gases 55 percent by 2030 from 1990 levels, it's managed 25 percent so far and is moving in the wrong direction, according to the European Environment Agency. […]
Germany's emissions rose even as its production of intermittent wind and solar power climbed fivefold in the past decade. Utilities boosted production from profitable coal-fired plants after Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to close all 17 of the country's nuclear plants by 2022 in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
With its Energiewende, Germany hoped to teach the world a thing or two about responsible green governance. To that end, it succeeded, but not in the way environmentalists had envisioned. The policy experiment has been a resounding failure on both economic and environmental terms. Feed-in tariffs for renewables have sent electricity prices skyrocketing, while the nuclear drawdown has led to an increasing dependence on coal, which brings with it high emissions and localized air pollution. Germany has taught everyone a lesson, all right: how not to craft energy policy.
Yet Berlin's green fervor seems to be contagious, as France announced this week that it would be reducing nuclear reactors' share of the national energy mix in favor of boosting solar and wind production. The sooner greens come to terms with nuclear's important role as a zero-carbon baseload energy source, the better.


text: Our Verdict Despite its smart looks this dock offers a cluttered and boxy sound that won't let music breathe For Smart looks easy to use Against Cluttered sound lacks expression Reviewed on 2nd July 2009 The Edifier iF330 Plus looks rather smart and understated. Your iPod sits in the stand that slides out from the front of the main unit. The gloss black chassis is devoid of buttons apart from the push in/pop out power button on the side. The dock is driven using the accompanying remote control. It's quick and responsive to the touch. But that's where our praise ends. The dock suffers from a closed in, boxy sound – Justin Timberlake's vocals lack openness and expression and he sounds like he's singing from inside the dock itself. Bass weight is okay and treble doesn't sound too tinny, but overall the sound is cluttered and there's no space for all the elements of music to breathe.

Here are some tips to help you get the longest battery life and on screen time possible on your S5.
1. Root and debloat (Sprint and Samsung apps). More details here.
2a. Download Greenify from the Play Store and Greenify apps that you see waking your device (ie: Twitter, Facebook, Play Store, Google Search, etc.)
-----2b. Buy Greenify donate version and you can Greenify apps and still receive notifications from those apps!
3. When you go to sleep, turn on power saving mode and turn ON the following options within power saving mode: block background data, restrict performance (with everything checked).
4. At around 5-10% left, turn on ultra power saving mode to help get you through the rest of the day/night!
5. Don't have a million apps installed, a rogue app can deplete your battery (through wakelocks, background CPU usage, etc.) and it only takes one bad app to spoil your whole battery!
6. If you don't use GMail, or Facebook or Twitter, etc alot, then turn OFF auto sync for those apps.
7a. Go to Google Settings, then Location, then Google laction reporting and turn location reporting OFF.and Mode on Power Saving.
-----7b. Go to Android Device Manager in Google settings and turn off "remotely locate this device".
8a. Turn dark mode on for apps that have this option.
-----8b. Download and install "blacked out apps".
9. Turn off things such as smart stay, smart pause (rarely every works for me anyway) OFF.
10. Keep your brightness low if possible (cloudy day, night time, indoors, etc.).
Feel free to add any.
Screenies: Was literally using non stop, to compare my S4 would only go to 3hr 10min on screen time (highest I got out of the whole time I had it). Was in good signal area most of the time, but also sometimes I was in a not so great signal area. Anyways, I'm xtremely happy with 5hrs on screen time and almost a day total! Barely had my phone in my pocket the whole day/night!

New Zealand Cup and Show Week - the festival fun continues
The festival fun continues at New Zealand Cup and Show Week today (Thursday 15 November) and throughout Canterbury Anniversary weekend.
Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker is delighted that so many Cantabrians have taken time out to celebrate the city's spring festival. Cantabrians and visitors to our city alike are having fun with their friends and family at the festival events.
"The excitement continues at the 150th Canterbury A&P Show today and tomorrow. This milestone year will be made even more special with the attendance of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall tomorrow (Friday 16 November) afternoon at the show - this will be a highlight of the festival week for many," he says.
Christchurch City Council's Marketing Manager Richard Stokes says if you prefer racing action there is plenty of choice for everyone. Tonight you can catch the greyhound racing at Addington Raceway for the Buy Sell & Exchange NZ Greyhound from 5.15pm. The feature face runs at 8.57pm.
"If you are looking for a fun day out, then take your family along to Lindauer Race Day at Addington Raceway tomorrow (Friday 16 November). This is a great day out for everyone with the Jordan Luck band performing and children's entertainment on course.
"The festival wraps up with the popular Christchurch Casino NZ Cup and New Zealand Bloodstock 1000 Guineas Day at Riccarton Park on Saturday 17 November. Last year's cup winner, Blood Brotha, won by a neck, so another nail biting finish is expected this year. With thrilling race action, the highly sought best dressed competition and unique car park party atmosphere means this special day is always celebrated in style," he says.
With big crowds expected at festival events, the roads will be busy, so the Council encourages people to take public transport or to take a taxi with friends and family.

Super Sunday Blog
Yielding Real Results
What exciting and inspiring times we live in. Today, an African American is president of the United States. Young men and women in our communities can look to the highest office in the nation – some may say the most powerful position in the world – and see a role-model.
I have long held high expectations for what our nation could achieve. Every child has the ability to succeed and should be afforded the opportunity to do so.
President Obama has shown the heights that can be reached; it is for us to realize those heights. I can tell you that the California State University (CSU), as the largest university system in the country, is committed to delivering on the promise of higher education.
Four years ago, the leaders of CSU saw an opportunity to welcome African American students in a new way. The chancellor and campus presidents listened to religious, business and civic leaders when they told us to speak directly to African Americans about college opportunity at the CSU.
As a result, CSU created Super Sunday, a program that brings CSU executives to the church pulpit with a message of early preparation for college. African American churches have long promoted the virtues of learning and inspired a passion to succeed; it was only natural that the CSU would go to these congregations.
In 2009, the Super Sunday message will reach thousands of students and families in 68 churches stretching across California. This year, for the first time, churches in southern California's Inland Empire will host a CSU president bringing the Super Sunday message.
CSU efforts have yielded real results. Between 2004 and 2007, undergraduate enrollment by African American students increased nearly 20 percent from 18,429 to 22,079, an addition of 3,650 more African American students to our campuses. This increase has led to campus communities that better reflect the diversity of California.
Inclusion and diversity in higher education are increasingly understood to be vital to the long-term survival of our economy. For some, there was a time when a high school diploma was sufficient for high-demand professions. That time has passed.
The economy of today and of the future demands a college degree. It demands that a workforce be educated in science, technology, engineering and math. It demands that we support high-growth industries.
The CSU has answered the call of industry with initiatives and partnerships in agriculture, biotechnology, engineering, entertainment and tourism. We continue to be the state's leader in preparing educators and we're taking the lead in preparing engineers, nurses, business professionals and artists.
It is important that African American students share in these CSU initiatives and claim their place in fields leading the economy. It is important for the sake of individuals and for the community around them. It's important for our country.
Similarly, African-American families are a part of the fabric of every major city in California. The success of African Americans contributes to the success of California as a whole. I know that the leaders of CSU believe that inclusion is a key to California's brighter future.
It is a profound statement that African American students who are often the least well-served by the K-12 system are so clearly welcomed by the CSU. It is a message of hope and a commitment to access that is embodied in Super Sunday.
This Super Sunday message is reminiscent of the message of hope and national healing carried by President Obama. And as the president has called on us to do, we must all serve, work, and inspire others to the cause of building a brighter future.

Two Girls Who Were Raped By New Zealand's "Roast Busters" Were Reportedly Told They Were "Asking For It" By Police
Yesterday, we told you about the "Roast Busters," a disgusting sort of "club" in New Zealand where the members are privileged teen boys who lure teenage girls with alcohol, get them drunk, gang rape them and then brag about the rapes on the internet. While there is plenty of the latter on the internet to build a case file against the, New Zealand police have argued they just can't pursue charges against them until one of their victims comes forward.
Except, it turns out, a victim has gone to the police. Two, in fact. Two 13-year-old girls filed complaints against the Roast Busters with the police two years ago, in 2011. One of the girls, who said she was raped by three of the Roast Busters, told NZ's 3 News that she was so ashamed and scared that it took her weeks to tell anyone, and when she finally went to police, this is what went down:
"I had a video interview where I had to act out what had happened with dolls […] It was traumatising."
But, apparently, it wasn't enough. She said she felt like it was her word against the Roast Busters'.
"They said that I didn't have enough evidence to show, because I went out in clothes that was pretty much asking for it. […] I was asked a lot of questions about what I was wearing, and I went out in a skirt.
"If it was me, it could be any of my friends. I knew it would carry on ," she says.
"I can't believe nothing was done then. From then I have had my friends sexually abused by them. How many girls have been raped? I have seen posts done by girls saying Roast Busters ruined their lives […] They've gotten away with so much."
This same victim also said she received an apology from one of the rapists via Facebook, but he couched his "sorry" with a warning that going to the police would only make things worse. Now that the Roast Busters have received international media attention, she plans to refile a complaint with the police this week. Hopefully, they take her a lot more seriously this time, because these predators need to be brought to justice. [3 News via Jezebel]

Our earliest known Lenox ancestor was Ambrose Lenox, born about 1822 in Kentucky and died in approximately February of 1853 in Crawford Co., Missouri. Ambrose, possibly, though this is unproven, was the son of George Lenox and Patsy Christy. George was the son of William Lenox and Mary ("Polly") Wilson, and grandson of Charles Lenox (born 1754 in Glasgow, Scotland), an early emigrant to Kentucky. There were many Lenox family members in Crawford, Phelps, and Dent counties, Missouri, where Ambrose Lenox and his family lived and it is most probable that he is of that family. Ambrose first appears in the records when he marries Hester Armitage on 11 December 1845 in Crawford Co., Missouri. He was Hester's fourth husband. She was married to (1) William Kidwell, (2) William Pace, (3) Moses Phillips, and (4) Ambrose Lenox. Each husband died. Ambrose was approximately 12 or 14 years younger than Hester. He appears in the 1850 census of Crawford Co., Missouri, and he purchased 80 acres of land in 1851 from Lyle and Lucinda Singleton in Crawford Co. In January of 1853 he and his wife Hester sold the to Benjamin Cooksey. On March 1, 1853, Judge Lyle Singleton appointed Hester Lenox to be administrator of Ambrose's estate.
The children of Ambrose and Hester Lenox are as follows:
- George Anson Lenox, born about 1846 in Missouri, said to have died in the Civil War as a teenager.
- Mary Catherine Lenox, born 5 February 1848 in Crawford co., Missouri and died on 16 November 1914 in Dent Co., Missouri. She was married to Michael Wolfe Jr. on 29 November 1866 in Dent Co.

I have some D-Link DI-804HVs which support using a domain name for the IPSEC
gateway addresses instead of a fixed IP address when using static IPSEC tunnels.
I bought them before I was familiar enough with BSD to make use of it or was
aware of m0n0wall which was in alpha testing at the time.
Originally they required a static IP addresses so I used the dynamic IPSEC
tunnel feature to allow one side to have a dynamic address. Later they added
using a domain name for the gateway addresses in a firmware revision. Of
course, static tunnels still have fixed local and remote subnets making the
dynamic IPSEC tunnel function still useful when the remote subnet can not be
known in advance.
If I had known then what I know now of course I would never have bought them and
just used BSD on a WRAP or something similar before switching to m0n0wall or
pfsense when they became available. To be fair to D-Link though, the DI-804HVs
have actually worked out very well. The backup dial up modem functionality has
been very handy.

Yet Another Hello Kitty Digital Camera
We have seen the Casio Exilim Hello Kitty digicam just a couple of weeks ago, a camera adorned with images and sounds of the famous kitty-cat. Recently, the company behind the Hello Kitty brand is at it again, announcing that it will start to sell a new Hello Kitty shaped digital camera.
The camera comes equipped with a 5-megapixel lens and a 2″ LCD screen. It has 32MB worth of internal memory with the support for SD cards. Looking at the camera, it's definitely not trying to be a contender in the line of feature-rich cameras but just another fun item for Hello Kitty fans to add to their collection. The camera starts selling in mid-November at Sanrio's online store.

During the Senate hearing on immigration reform yesterday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, promoted the idea of legal immigration reform but argued that a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants was too divisive.
"I would note that I don't think there is any issue in this entire debate that is more divisive than a path to citizenship for those that are here illegally," Cruz asserted. "In my view any bill that insists upon that, jeopardizes the likelihood of passing any immigration reform bill."
Fixing the legal immigration system, Cruz argued, was a bipartisan way to pass immigration reform.
"I think we should all be champions of legal immigrants making the system work and not just welcoming, but celebrating legal immigrants," Cruz explained.
Cruz reminded his Senate colleagues that he was deeply connected to the immigration debate, as the son of a Cuban immigrant, and the grandson of a farm worker in Cuba.
"I hope that that reform legislation will not be held hostage to an issue that is deeply, deeply, divisive as the pathway to citizenship," Cruz added.

Hi, I'm working on project to port the Ruby Rack framework to Racket scheme. If you're not familiar with Rack, it creates a layer to manage the http response/requests, and a level of abstraction to build a chained list of middle ware clients - each calling the next in chain. Switching from from Ruby's OOP paradigm to Scheme's more functional paradigm, a problem has presented itself that I would like some advice on. In the Rack middleware in the chain, each piece of the middleware receives a hash which encapsulates the response/requests, and the middleware mutates this hash depending on the functionality it adds. I could port this hash exchange in my Racket implementation, but I have an aversion to the side effects inherently in mutating this hash. My question, then, is does anyone have a more functional approach to how I could implement this middleware chain? Any advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to open sourcing the project soon. -- Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

* Milder U.S. weather next week expected to slow demand * Nuclear outages still running above normal, lend support * Big inventory draw expected Thursday also limits downside * Coming Up: EIA, Enerdata natgas storage data Thursday By Joe Silha NEW YORK, April 3 (Reuters) - Front-month U.S. natural gas futures ended lower on Wednesday for a fourth straight day, as milder weather forecasts for next week raised expectations that heating demand was finally poised to slow. Cold late-winter temperatures and above-average nuclear plant outages helped drive futures prices up nearly 30 percent since mid-February, with the front contract posting a 19-month high $4.121 per million British thermal units just last week. But despite chilly weather this week, traders expect milder spring readings to soon slow demand and lightly pressure prices, particularly with production still flowing at robust levels. Gelber & Associates analyst Aaron Calder said in a report that the recent rally "was based on much colder than expected temperatures. Now that temps being forecasted are failing to live up to that, prices are receding a bit." But he added, "Drawing down storage before the start of the injection season takes the fear (of) storage overflows out of the market, and limits the downside potential of the contract." Front-month gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange ended down 6.9 cents, or 1.7 percent, at $3.90 per mmBtu after trading between $3.897 and $3.985. The front contract had posted gains in six previous weeks but has lost 4.1 percent in the last four sessions. Recent price gains have been accompanied by a near steady climb in open interest, indicating that new buying, not short covering, has fueled much of the upside. Futures-only open interest on Tuesday hit a record high for the 12th straight session, climbing to 1,459,808 contracts. But chart watchers said the market may be vulnerable to a sell-off, noting today's close below near support in the $3.93 area could set off a stampede by new longs looking to cash out. While the Plains and upper Midwest could remain cool next week, MDA Weather Services expects above to much above normal temperatures to stretch from the Gulf Coast to Northeast. Warmth is expected to spread across the South and East by mid-April. ANOTHER STRONG STORAGE DRAW EXPECTED Some traders said expectations for another big storage draw on Thursday may limit further downside temporarily. Traders and analysts polled by Reuters are looking for a 91 billion cubic feet withdrawal when the U.S. Energy Information Administration releases its weekly storage report on Thursday. That would drive stocks below the five-year average for the first time since September 2011. U.S. Energy Information Administration data last week showed total domestic gas inventories as of March 22 had dropped to 1.781 trillion cubic feet, just 61 bcf, or 3.5 percent, above average for that week. Record high inventories at the start of the heating season have been steadily shrinking as cold late-season weather kicked up demand. About 2.15 tcf of gas has been pulled from storage so far this season, or 45 percent more than last year at this time. Stocks usually build slightly at this time of year. The five year average for Thursday's report is a 4 bcf injection. Two more weekly draws will put storage well below normal at the start of the April-through-October injection season. OUTPUT STARTS TO SLOW? EIA data on Friday showed that gross natural gas production in January fell for the second straight month. Output also dropped below year-ago levels for the first time since February 2010, but it's still unclear if recent monthly declines were due to well freeze-offs from the cold or producers curbing dry gas flows because prices were not that attractive. The gas-directed drilling rig count has fallen in four of the last five weeks, slipping last week to a 14-year low of 389. Despite the rig declines over the last year or so, output has not slowed much from the record high hit last year.

Although many anti-virus tools and products are now available, personal and administrative practices and institutional policies, particularly with regard to shared or external software usage, should form the first line of defense against the threat of virus attack. Users should also consider the variety of anti-virus products currently available.
There are three classes of anti-virus products: detection tools, identification tools, and removal tools. Scanners are an example of both detection and identification tools. Vulnerability monitors and modification detection programs are both examples of detection tools. Disinfectors are examples of a removal tools. A detailed description of the tools is provided below.
Scanners and disinfectors, the most popular classes of anti-virus software, rely on a great deal of a priori knowledge about the viral code. Scanners search for ``signature strings'' or use algorithmic detection methods to identify known viruses. Disinfectors rely on substantial information regarding the size of a virus and the type of modifications to restore the infected file's contents.
Vulnerability monitors, which attempt to prevent modification or access to particularly sensitive parts of the system, may block a virus from hooking sensitive interrupts. This requires a lot of information about ``normal'' system use, since personal computer viruses do not actually circumvent any security features. This type of software also requires decisions from the user.
Modification detection is a very general method, and requires no information about the virus to detect its presence. Modification detection programs, which are usually checksum based, are used to detect virus infection or trojan horses. This process begins with the creation of a baseline, where checksums for clean executables are computed and saved. Each following iteration consists of checksum computation and comparison with the stored value.

Ev's Roast Chicken
Recipe by evelynathens
For all of you familiar with Mimi's Sticky Chicken, the technique in this recipe will ring a bell. It is a great way to roast a yummy bird when you have to be away from home for a while. This is my rendition.
Top Review by Northwest Lynnie
The seasoning mixture in this recipe is "spot on". Instead of using regular paprika, I used Spanish smoked paprika (also known as sweet smoked paprika and pimenton), which added another dimension of flavor. I only had garlic and onion powders on hand, so I used them instead of fresh or granules. At home during the cooking time, I was surprised by how each ingredient's fragrance filled the kitchen at different times. I was also surprised by the amount of liquid and fat that rendered out of the chicken, and was glad I had cooked it in a 9x13 pan. The end result was moist, succulent and delicious, and I really appreciated the ease of preparation. There were leftovers, so I found that most of what rendered from the chicken were juices which jellied when refrigerated and which made it easy to remove the TBSP of fat that remained. Thank you for sharing your creation, Ev!

Gates Brings Innovative Genealogical Research to SVC
12/10/09 7:50AM By Neal Charnoff
| Download MP3
When people begin looking for their family roots, the paper trail inevitably leads to a dead end.
Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. has pioneered a method of genealogical research that incorporates DNA research.
His methodology was featured in the PBS miniseries "African American Lives."
Southern Vermont College in Bennington is one of the first institutions to adopt Gate's research approach.
Students studied their own roots and created an exhibit now on display at the Bennington Museum.
Gates will be in Vermont Friday to speak about his research and see the student exhibit.
Gates speaks with VPR's Neal Charnoff.

KT Tunstall has found a release date for her sophomore effort 'Drastic Fantastic' that she has strong confidence in.
KT Tunstall has found a date to release her highly-anticipated album "Drastic Fantastic". The Grammy-nominated singer will drop the "not so drastically changed in sound" CD on September 18 via Relentless/Virgin.
Following the first single "Hold On" that has been hot on U.K. radio outlets, KT believes that she picks the right time to release the sophomore set. "I feel like I've done the new album just in time," KT said in a statement. "If I'd taken any time off, I might have missed a bit of a window."
Explaining the differences between this piece and her debut album KT said, "The one major change for me was that on the first album, I did find recording my vocals very difficult. We learned this time around that I can't really sing if I'm not playing. I basically taught myself singing and playing guitar at the same time, so all of my phrasing and breathing disappear if I'm not playing".
The album will come in both standard and deluxe edition with the latter having a DVD as an attachment. Physical "Hold On" was released in U.S. on July 16 while in U.K. it will only reach the stores on August 27. Meanwhile, have a sneak peek of its music video that leaked online on July 18.

Fresh Express Signs Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement
SALINAS - After months of holding out, Fresh Express here signed on to a set of new food safety guidelines outlined in the California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement in the first week of the measure's implementation.
SALINAS - After months of holding out, Fresh Express here signed on to a set of new food safety guidelines outlined in the California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement in the first week of the measure's implementation.
The board of produce industry players behind the marketing agreement, which was created in response to last fall's E. coli outbreak in fresh spinach, officially began on April 1,voted unanimously last week to accept the good agricultural practice (GAP) metrics, after meeting regularly for weeks to construct the framework of the program. The resulting guidelines will be overseen by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
Assessments of 2-cents per carton will fund the operation of the program. The marketing agreement should be up and running ready when a new crop of leafy greens is harvested in the Salinas Valley in a few weeks. The new plan will be phased in during the coming weeks as the next round in the growing season gets underway.
Fresh Express's president Tanios E. Viviani said his company, the last to sign up for the agreement by the March 31deadline, is "encouraged that its concerns about food safety are being addressed." He said Fresh Express was in support of strengthening the Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Metrics to "make them more robust," and also of extending the agreement into other states, beginning in Arizona." He said his company had also wanted to make sure "the agreement will not be used for promotional purposes, but will remain steadfastly focused on metrics and verification to further food safety.
"Significant support has been gathered from industrywide organizations including the Produce Marketing Association, United Fresh Produce Association, California Farm Bureau Federation and the National Restaurant Association, among others," he added.
"Fresh Express is not changing its integrated, comprehensive and preventive food safety standards and practices, which are already substantially higher than the agreement's," Viviano said. "However, improvements have been made to the agreement's GAP metrics that begin to address concerns voiced by Fresh Express and additional commitments have been made to continue to strengthen the metrics, to increase their scope and to expand the agreement into other states. Therefore, Fresh Express will now sign the agreement to further support raising the level of food safety in the industry."

Quite frankly...
This one's really a masterpiece. People who just dropped in and dragged themselves back right out might think that this is gory; in fact, it's not.
I can simplify this piece as... 'joy of pain', because pain is the most intimate form of relationship, right? ;)
Excellent work, sir. You have my respect.
Thank you so much! (enter SUPER delayed response for which I apologize)
This piece was inspired by the Andersen story, and the most unpleasant bits of the story are the psychological traumas of the protagonist being unable to convey the intense suffering she experiences. So you are absolutely correct! Makes me really happy someone gets it :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
When it gets too hard
I'd carry her for the rest of her life.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
good job:)
i really think this is a fancy piece of work:) good job!

This year's edition of Coachella – an event of music and debauchery in the California desert happening this weekend and next – is headlined by festival vets Blur, the Stone Roses, Phoenix, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nick Cave. But if one looks deeper into the program and focuses on the festival poster's finer print, there are promising acts on the rise (and we're not talking about the second coming of Tupac). The five to watch are:
ALLEN STONE — Remy Shand, is that you? As we continue to speculate on the whereabouts of the long-lost Winnipeg soul-popster, here comes Allen Stone, a funky, blue-eyed, Washington replacement who wears horn-rimmed glasses on his face, confetti on his shoulders and influences on his sleeves. He does spongy upbeat tunes in the key of Stevie Wonder, sports a floppy-hat hippie aesthetic and sings such things as Celebrate Tonightwith a likable sincerity.
JAKE BUGG— For his cheek and melodiousness, the precocious singer-songwriter from East Midlands has earned Noel Gallagher's approval. Perhaps the former Oasis badboy sees a bit of himself in the 19-year-old Bugg, or possibly he hears influences ranging from the Beatles to Donovan to Don McLean. "So I hold two fingers up to yesterday," the young man sings, "light a cigarette and smoke it all away." Watch him, going forward.
PURITY RING— The soulful Canadian electronica duo are a sight, what with the expansive costumes of vocalist Megan James and the uniquely lit contraption on which Corin Roddick produces sounds and beats. It adds up to dance music with a little thrill and a little chill – a sure-fire hit in the California desert and beyond.
WILD BELLE— "I gotta pretty face," coos Natalie Bergman on the cool tropical tune Keep You, "and I wear a nice dress." So, there's that. There's also her saxophone-playing brother Elliot, whose reed work keeps the Chicago duo's dewy mix of feather-light reggae and chic indie-pop grounded. The debut album is Isles and the siblings' breeze is picking up.
LORD HURON— This is interesting. Ben Schneider, the scene-setting leader of L.A.'s light folk-rock project Lord Huron, bases his dreamy music and characters on adventure novels that don't exist – he's even set up a web site dedicated to an imaginary author. "Part of [my] universe is a haze, a mystery that hangs over everything," Schneider once told an interviewer. "It's important for me to maintain that." The music itself is windswept and soft-focused – a mistier My Morning Jacket.

Paradip, July 19: After a fortnight-long disagreement, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has come to an agreement with the workers unions over the issue of entry permits into its oil refinery project here.
Though the project work of the Rs 29,000 crore oil refinery project had resumed after the July 2 Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) firing and violence, two rounds of talks between the trade unions and the oil corporation had failed earlier.
Most of the eight-point charter of demands had been met earlier. The company has disbursed Rs 9 lakh as compensation to those injured in the firing incident.
The point of difference was over issuing of entry permits to labourers engaged in loading and unloading goods. The company has agreed to issue provisional passes to around 2,000 labourers. But the passes would be for entry into the cargo-handling site only. They would have no access to the project site for security reasons. The passes would entitle the labourers access to the project site only during loading and unloading operations, said IOCL general manager (human resources) Prasant Rout.
Violence had erupted on July 2 at the project site leaving 10 persons, including two CISF personnel and five contract labourers, injured. The workers had sustained bullet wounds as CISF men had to open fire when a mob turned violent.
In the aftermath of the violence, the IOCL authorities had met state government officials and had complained about recurring lawlessness at the project site. They had asked for cooperation from the state government to arrest the trend.
Tension was high at the project site and the villages near the project site were simmering as angry labourers mobilised by local trade unions paralysed project work by blocking the road leading to the public sector undertakings oil refinery site.
Authorities of IOCL claimed that the company had to incur an estimated Rs 25 crore worth of losses following the five-day cease-work.
After several rounds of talks with disgruntled labour unions last week, the district administration had managed to broker a truce to facilitate resumption of work.

Revisions to Forms 1, 2, and 3
Questions and Answers - Set #2 (12/3/98)
65) May the Q's and A's be given to panel trustees?
Form 1 - Estate Property Record and Report
66) The trustee is required to show the initial and current projected final report dates at the bottom of Form 1. May the trustee ever change the initial date of final report?
No. In fact, the trustee's software system should, if possible, prevent an inadvertent change to this date.
67) When the final report (TFR) has been filed, the phrase "current projected date of final report" is no longer accurate. May the software be programmed to eliminate the words "current projected" on any Form 1s printed after the TFR has been filed?
Yes. However, this is not required. The trustee does not need to change the "current projected date of final report" after it has been filed, even though the TFR is returned for corrections. The TFR is considered to be filed on the date it is submitted to the United States Trustee for approval.
68) Scenario: a no-asset case has been open longer than 60 days past the initial examination of the debtor at the ァ 341(a) meeting and the trustee is preparing the 180-day report for the current period. The trustee will include the case on Form 3 and submit a Form 1. No Form 2 is required because there is no estate bank account.
a. Is it acceptable for the trustee to submit a blank Form 1?
No. The Form 1 should contain all of the required information from the petition, schedules, and statement of affairs, and be completely filled out.
b. What if the trustee does not expect the case to be an asset case?
If the case is not expected to be an asset case, the trustee should still complete Form 1 and explain under Notes or Major Activities Affecting Case Closing why the no-asset report has not been filed.
69) Some software programs print a total at the bottom of Column 2, Petition/Unscheduled Values. Is it permissible to continue to print this total, even though it is not shown on the sample in the Handbook?
Yes. A total at the bottom of Column 2 may be shown, but it is not required.
70) If an asset description takes up two lines in Column 1, does the second line need to be indented?
This is not required. The concern is that the asset descriptions are legible and contain sufficient information to describe the asset.
71) Can you provide additional instructions on the "type" of descriptions that should be included on Form 1?
The Sample Form 1 in the Handbook illustrates the type of asset descriptions that trustees should provide. They should be informative, brief, and descriptive, without being overly long. One to three lines should be sufficient.
72) Which of these asset descriptions is correct?
- "1234 Main Street, City, State or Homestead"
- "Homestead 1234 Main Street, City State"
Both are acceptable. The Sample Form 1 shows 55 Lake Drive/ ï½½ int. homestead, for example.
73) In Appendix G, the Handbook states that escrow deposits are not posted to Form 1 until the related sale is consummated. Therefore, these deposits must be recorded on Form 2 without a reference number and a corresponding entry on Form 1. Is it acceptable to record some receipts on Form 2 without a corresponding Form 1 reference number?
Yes. There are certain circumstances when deposits are recorded without a reference number. Escrow deposits are one example. Deposits to the wrong estate and bond premium refunds are other examples.
74) If some deposits are recorded on Form 2 and not on Form 1, then the total of Column 5 (Sales/Funds Received by the Estate) on Form 1 will not match the total of Column 5 (Deposits) on Form 2. Aren't these two totals supposed to match?
No. The two totals will not match for a variety of reasons. Some are mentioned above. Another reason is the method for recording real estate sales. The gross sale proceeds are recorded in Column 5 on Form 1, while the net proceeds are recorded in Column 5 on Form 2.
75) Which total should be used to calculate a trustee's maximum allowable compensation: Form 1, Column 5 or Form 2, Column 5?
Neither. While either total can be used as a starting point for calculating a trustee's maximum allowable compensation, adjustments will almost always be necessary to arrive at the correct figure.
76) The trustee's software assigned consecutive reference numbers as assets are entered. If an asset is later deleted, a "permanent hole" in the numbering system is created. Is this acceptable?
Yes. Actually, this is mandatory. Trustees should not be able to delete assets and re-use the reference numbers. While trustees need to be able to correct data entry errors, assets must never be completely deleted, and reference numbers cannot be re-used if the original entries were voided. If a trustee made an error entering assets on Form 1 and no longer needs to use one of the assigned reference numbers, the trustee should enter "void" in Column 1 to indicate that there is no asset associated with the reference number.
77) The instructions for Column 3, Estimated Net Value, require that a trustee enter a value by the end of the second reporting period. There is a concern about disclosing a value for litigation such as personal injury cases. In some jurisdictions, the 180-day reports are filed with the court and are readily available to members of the public, including defense counsel. If a trustee is required to disclose an estimated value for a personal injury suit, it may prejudice the trustee's settlement negotiations.
a. Can an exception be made to allow the trustee to use "unknown" in Column 3, under these circumstances?
No. The trustee should use his or her best judgment not to jeopardize the trustee's position. The trustee may include the demand amount, the amount of the prayer, or some lesser amount in Column 3. Thereafter, the amount in Column 3 is not changed.
b. According to the Instructions, Column 6 should reflect the trustee's current best estimate of the gross value remaining to be collected or administered. The amount in Column 6 is adjusted as the trustee's current best estimate changes. Is the trustee required to adjust the value in Column 6 to reflect current settlement discussions? Again, this may jeopardize the trustee's negotiations.
See answer above. The trustee should use his or her best judgment and disclose a value without jeopardizing the settlement discussions. The Column 6 value should be changed when appropriate, such as when the amount of the demand changes or when the litigation has been settled (but the settlement amount has not been paid as of the 180-day period ending date).
78) The Sample Form 1 shows an asset entitled "Interest earned" (Asset No. 15). There are several questions concerning this asset.
a) What does this asset represent?
This unscheduled asset represents post-petition interest on the estate account(s), certificates of deposit(s), and other investments. (See Forms - 4.)
b) Should the interest earned on each investment be listed as a separate unscheduled asset on Form 1?
No. All post-petition interest on the estate accounts and investments should be combined as a single line item on Form 1.
c) If the trustee invests estate funds with multiple depositories, should there be a separate unscheduled asset for the interest from each depository?
No. See the answer to b.
d) The Sample Form 1 indicates that a reference number should be assigned to the "Interest earned" asset. Some chapter 7 computer vendors said that it will be difficult to program their Forms to provide a reference number for interest earned. May a computer vendor use the code "INT" instead of the reference number?
Yes. "INT" may be used, but it is not required.
e) If the trustee earns interest on a promissory note or other estate asset, should this interest be included in the asset entitled "Interest earned"?
No. "Interest earned" is only used for post-petition interest earned on estate funds that are invested. Interest on a promissory note, for example, should be recorded on Form 1 and Form 2 with the reference number assigned to the promissory note.
Form 2 - Cash Receipts and Disbursements Record
79) Several software programs provide "memo" disbursement totals at the end of Form 2. These totals summarize the disbursements eligible for a trustee's maximum allowable compensation, and may be different from the totals illustrated on the sample Form 2. Is it acceptable for these "memo" totals to continue to be shown on Form 2? Trustees find them beneficial.
Yes. The "memo" totals are not required, but may continue to be shown, as long as the Form 2 remains legible.
80) The instructions (Handbook page Forms - 8) indicate that the trustee should record the date that the transaction occurred in Column 1. For deposits, this is the date that the funds were sent or taken to the bank. For disbursements, this is the date that the check was written by the trustee or printed by the computer.
a. If the trustee enters the transaction several days after it occurred, which date should be recorded in column 1: the date of entry or the original transaction date?
The trustee is expected to enter transactions contemporaneously with their occurrence, so the date of entry should be the same as the original transaction date. However, if data entry is unavoidably delayed, the trustee should enter the date that the transaction actually occurred.
b. On Monday, the trustee may input the information to run disbursement checks, but not print the checks until Friday. Which date should appear on Form 2?
Form 2 should reflect the date that the checks were printed, not the date they were entered into the system.
81) The Sample Form 2 in the Handbook shows Check Nos. 1005 and 1006 used twice. Is it acceptable for there to be duplicate check numbers?
No. Checks should be consecutively numbered within the case. The numbers of voided checks may not be re-used. The number sequence on manual checks should not duplicate computer-generated numbers. (See Handbook page 9-8.) In addition, if the trustee can write checks on multiple accounts within the same case (e.g., checks can be written on the money market account as well as the checking account), the numerical check sequence should be distinct for each account.
The error on the Sample Form 2 will be corrected in the next Handbook update.
82) The totals at the end of each Form 2 include a line item to deduct payments to debtors. We assume that this line item includes exemptions and excess funds paid to the debtor. If the debtor is paid as a claimant, is this amount excluded from the line item "less payments to debtors"?
Form 3 - Summary Interim Asset Report
83) The Handbook states on pages 9-4 and Forms-1 that "at least every six months, each chapter 7 trustee must submit to the United States Trustee an interim report for each case that is either expected to be or declared to be an asset case by the trustee.... (emphasis added)."
a. Is there a distinction between "expected to be" and "declared to be"?
No. The phrases "expected to be" and "declared to be" are not meant to imply two classifications of asset cases. The language is meant to be inclusive of all cases that the trustee considers to be asset cases.
b. Are the United States Trustee reviewers expected to monitor trustees to ensure that they report all cases that they "expect" will be asset cases?
No. However, if the reviewer learns of cases that should be reported by the trustee and are not, the reviewer should bring these cases to the trustee's attention. An example of this situation is when the reviewer has seen a notice of sale in a case that has been open less than sixty days past the initial examination of the debtor at the ァ 341(a) meeting, and the case is still designated as a no-asset case on ACMS and was not reported by the trustee on the 180-day report.

Paper cuts come in all sizes.
On an industrial scale, paper-products manufacturers have cut, spliced and suffered over the past decade to consolidate and streamline. The process netted a leaner, meaner, more competitive industry. And it concentrated the majority of production in what had been a vastly fragmented North American market within a handful of companies in each paper and board segment.
"After this wave of consolidation, paper and packaging manufacturers have been better able to match supply with demand, which provides them with a better bargaining position with customers," said Morningstar analyst Todd Wenning. "They certainly have a stronger foothold than in the past.
A more disciplined market points to more stability and higher profitability for an industry that's struggled against poor returns and over-capacity, adds Vertical Research Partners analyst Chip Dillon.
Packaging Corp. of America (PKG) is the fourth-largest producer of containerboard and corrugated box products in the U.S. Analysts say the Lake Forest, Ill.-based operation has been a leading beneficiary of the consolidation and of a more competitive market. In the third quarter, it saw earnings jump 28%, its second straight quarter of double-digit profit growth and an acceleration from the prior quarter.
Analysts see that growth accelerating to 55% in the fourth quarter, although sales growth is seen holding to low-single digits.
The industry began to flex its newfound muscle in the fall, when top players passed through a hefty hike in containerboard prices — their first price increase in 2-1/2 years.
Graphic Packaging Holding (GPK), a top producer of folding cartons, has also benefited. Its earnings rose by 22% in the second and third quarters. Analyst consensus projects a fourfold earnings gain in the fourth quarter.
Investors' response to those and other gains have, during much of the fourth quarter, held the Paper & Paper Products group in the top 50 rankings among 197 tracked by IBD. The group ranked No. 58 on Friday.
The industry is not a treasure trove of leading stocks. Packaging Corp. and Graphic Packaging, among its top performers, hold 2013 sales growth forecasts of 7% and 2%, respectively.
But the group is a sensitive indicator of economic activity, and a turnaround story that appears set to exit the recent economic recession stronger than when it went in.
That story, and Packaging Corp.'s consensus earnings growth forecast of 35% this year, are drawing in both growth and value investors, with Vinik Asset Management, Columbia Mid-Cap Value Fund and Blackrock Master Large Cap Core Portfolio among the funds to establish or add to holdings in recent quarters.
Business Packaging Corp. produces corrugated boxes — everything from the basic boxes used in moving and shipping to custom-printed containers and retail displays.
It's the industry's only pure play in the containerboard segment, says Wenning. Its position as a North American producer gives it direct access to virgin fiber — from the tree to the box, so to speak. That keeps its costs pretty steady, Wenning adds.
In addition, says Jefferies analyst Philip Ng, the company has squeezed a lot of costs, like energy consumption, out of its operations. That is part of what has helped boost earnings this year.
It's a very well run company, says Ng, and it has executed "flawlessly.
Wenning expects benefits from the fall price increase to begin feeding through in fourth-quarter results. It reports on Jan. 22. Thus, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters see earnings rising 55% in Q4, and 48% in Q1.
Graphic Packaging, headquartered in Marietta, Ga., makes paperboard packaging products for the food, beverage and household products industries. Products include cereal boxes, paperboard packaging for beer, soft drinks and other beverages. Major long-term customers include Kraft Foods (KRFT), Anheuser-Busch (BUD) and General Mills (GIS).
Graphic Packaging benefits from the market's built-in demand, mainly from the food and beverage companies. Also, the company has been growing market share, executing well, and taking costs out of its system, says Ng.
"It consistently generates a lot of cash flow," he said.
Graphic Packaging's cash flow-to-earnings was 263% in 2011, vs. Packaging Corp.'s 105%.
In another segment of the industry, Schweitzer-Mauduit International (SWM) is the world's largest producer of the fine paper used in making cigarettes.
The company held an estimated 2.9% of the tobacco paper product manufacturing market in 2012 based on its U.S. production, says a report by Caitlin Moldvay, a senior analyst at market research firm IBISWorld.
But, as in many industries, "declining demand in the U.S. has hampered the company's growth," she said. "However, demand is relatively strong in emerging economies." This has led to an increase in international operations and a decline in its share of sales in the U.S. market, which now accounts for an estimated 28.2% of revenue.
The company has increased earnings by at least 22% for six straight quarters. Sales began declining in the second quarter, and analysts see earnings down 25% on a 1% slip in sales for Q4.
Climate U.S. containerboard producers — including No. 1 International Paper (IP), No. 2 RockTenn (RKT), Packaging Corp. and others — pushed through a price increase of $50 a ton. They also passed through most of an announced 8% increase on finished corrugated boxes, says Will Mies, editorial director at RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry. It was the segment's first price increase in 2-1/2 years.
What changed to allow them to push through the increase? Containerboard supply has been tight due to mill maintenance and project outages, unexpected operational problems at major mills and some market downtime, says Mies. At the same time, containerboard inventory levels at box plants and mills have been at multidecade lows. U.S. containerboard mills have been running nearly flat out, with capacity utilization rates year-to-date at around 95%, he says.
"We think the recent price increase from containerboard producers was a catch-up price increase from the prior two years," adds Wenning, who sees potential for the industry to raise prices again in 2013.
"It could be a sign that the industry is getting more bargaining power because there are fewer producers and supplies are tighter than in the past.
Certain areas of the paper industry are doing quite well, including containerboard for boxes, says Wenning.
Market There's not a lot of innovation going on in the paper market, says Wenning.
It's all about making sure plants are running efficiently, and not over- or underproducing.
"It seems like the industry has done a better job of matching supply with demand, particularly in North America," Wenning said.
Food, beverage and agricultural products account for about 50% of the end-use markets for containerboard. Year-to-date box shipments as of Dec. 18 were essentially flat vs. the prior year, says Wenning.
Over the five years to 2012, revenue for the cardboard box and container manufacturing industry rose at an annualized rate of 0.6% to an estimated $56.8 billion, tallies Moldvay.
Demand for cardboard packaging began to turn the corner in 2010, and has continued to rise through 2012, she says. Steady demand from food and beverage manufacturers has kept the industry afloat over the five-year period. In addition, auto manufacturing has increased since the recession.
Over the three years to 2012, consumer spending is estimated to have risen an average of 2.1% annually, which has positively influenced retail sales and, in turn, increased manufacturing activity in the U.S., Moldvay says. An increase in activity from these downstream industries has benefited demand for cardboard packaging during the industry's recovery. She estimates industry revenue rose 4% in 2012 vs. the prior year. In 2013, revenue is expected to rise 4.2% to $59.1 billion from $56.8 billion.
Outlook When it comes to assessing the climate for the industry, much depends on the sustainability of the economic recovery.
The industry, says Wenning , has done a better job of managing supply and getting it closer to demand.
"Going forward it becomes a question of demand," he said. "They've cut costs, and reduced capacity where necessary, and they've taken steps to better match supply with demand. There's only so far they can cut. Demand will have to improve for there to be outsized growth in the industry again.
Most watchers are cautious about the outlook for the stock performance of companies in the space.
Dillon says he's upbeat about the year's prospects for Graphic Packaging and Packaging Corp.
He calls 2012 a "transition" year. Still, he says, a lot of investors don't appreciate how much these companies have improved.
Wenning concurs he's seen improvement in the industry.
"But we think the market has also noticed it, and the share prices reflect most of the improvements we see," he adds.
Ng is generally "upbeat" on the companies he follows. He has a buy rating on Graphic Packaging and a hold on Packaging Corp.

Austin Shitty Limits: Yes, those people are actually partying in poop...
When the Great Lawn was resodded several months ago, a special, durable Tifway grass was used. Most of the mud that surfaced above the grass Saturday was so-called "Dillo dirt," a compost made by the City of Austin from yard trimmings collected curbside as well as some treated sewage sludge. That's why Zilker smelled so bad Sunday.
